My pal Bonnie — aka bronxbee in comments here — attended New York Comic-Con weekend before last and took a ton of photos. Here I’m sharing some of the Doctor Who-related ones.
Turns out that just like how girls like to pretend to be a Time Lord, sometimes boys like to dress up as the Doctor(s), too:
Bonnie says this guy
carried his own TARDIS around (it was one of those tent things).
Bonnie says she thinks the guy in the middle here is meant to be the Master:
Of this guy, Bonnie reveals
at first no one recognized #9 until he said “fantastic”.
(Nine is the closest the Doctor has ever come to unobtrusive streetwear. I like to imagine that the Doctor at that point was so wounded and withdrawn that he wasn’t looking to stand out in a crowd. Sucks for cosplayers, though!)
Of this guy and others, Bonnie says:
i’m not sure what’s with the busy beards, but i saw a few #11s with them! (if they were in a straight jacket, i might have understood).

What’s with the clip-ons?!
actually, in at least one episode, #11 *was* wearing a clip on! less dangerous you know, for avoiding things that grab you by the tie and try to strangle, or intimidate or exterminate you.
Ah. Good point.
(I did always wonder how #4’s scarf avoided getting caught in anything.)
although at least once, it saved him from falling off a precipice… and he used it to measure trapezoid shapes in Pyramid of Mars… a bow tie, although cool, has never actually proved practical that i can see.
Little-known fact: the scarf was a clip-on
Awesome!
of course!
oh, and i meant to say “bushy” beards… although i guess busy applies too.
I like the phrase “busy beards.” :->
