I’ve confessed on BGC before that I’m new to Doctor Who. So when Liz asked me to don a work appropriate outfit inspired by a Scottish redhead who traveled through space and time, I was a little hesitant. Especially since Liz’s first step was to straighten my hair. (It’s usually very curly – see here.)
Liz then asked me to sit atop a suitcase as though I was patiently waiting for someone. I didn’t exactly know what I was doing, but it was a ton of fun.

We’re enjoying 30 days of Doctor Who during the month of March on Being Geek Chic! Since the show is celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary and Series 7 is rebooting at the end of the month, it seemed like the perfect time to reflect on why we love the Doctor, wish we could apply for the job of Companion and create our own Sonic Screwdrivers.
