Doctor Who? Balls!

April 6th, 2010

Remember how I went to a Pride & Prejudice & Zombies ball at Halloween? The wonderful Wellington Historical Costume Society who organised that are throwing another ball this Saturday the 10th, called Have Tardis, Will Travel, and you should come along!

The boundaries of time and relative dimensions in space are open for the next WHCS event, a Dr Who themed time-travelling ball: Have Tardis Will Travel.

Bid farewell to the current Dr Who, dance, eat delicious treats and generally have lots and lots of fun

St Michael’s Church Hall, Upland Road, Kelburn
6.30 – late

Attire: Dress in clothing from any of the different eras that Dr Who has visited or as a Dr Who character. Steampunk attire is also appropriate.

For those of you who, like me, are not really that familiar with where and when the Doctor has visited, they’ve made a list of eras for inspiration as well:

  • Ancient Pompeii,
  • 18th century aristocratic France (The Girl in the Fireplace)
  • 1745 Scotland (The Highlander)
  • Mid-Victorian England
  • 1920s UK (Black Orchid)
  • Steampunk (Voyage of the Damned)

This still doesn’t mean that I have any idea what I’m going to wear though! Help! Keep in mind that I’m poor, I’m fat, and there will be a lot of dancing. Will you come to the ball? I’ll save a space on my dance card for you!
