So, back when I was deciding on my Halloween costume, I thought "I want to choose something that people might actually have a chance of recognizing this year. Therefore, I shall not perfect my Romana costume (or get a new one, starting from the fact that I now own Romana's straw boater), but shall instead spend a bunch of money putting together a Nuala costume."

I should have known that this would curse me.

Last weekend the Mercury (local goth club) announced that it's throwing a Doctor Who dance party the night before Halloween.

*Headdesk* *Headdesk* *Headdesk*

So now I will be eyeballing my Romana costume from NorWesCon and wondering whether I can find a better frock coat, thinking about how I need a ruffled blouse with shorter sleeves for comfort of dancing, bemoaning the fact that my hair is too short (while also scruffy and over-long to be cute short), and so on... all while knowing that I am already well and truly committed to finishing and spending all the money for the other costume. *Sighs*

(This particularly figures, since I had intended before this announcement to try to find a way to get to the Merc for Halloween in my Nuala costume, on the principle that the goth community is one of the few areas in this city where I figured it'd be appreciated. Alas!

...and with my luck, everybody there will be NewSkool fans and won't get the Romana costume, anyway.
)

But hey. Excuse to wear the Romana costume! ♥

I think the coat you had worked quite well, actually. But then, I haven't studied the costume to the extent you have...

The cut of it is just a bit weird, and it doesn't look good when it's closed. Not like that's going to be a problem at the club, I guess. And it doesn't have pockets, which is annoying.

...Basically, I'm obsessive. XD But I'm glad you thought it worked! I'll probably stick with it, if only because for reasons I cannot imagine, frock coats have totally failed to come back in fashion. Alas.

Lol. At least I have a new excuse to wear the Romana costume!

Bah, no worries. It'll be fun! It's just kind of "oh, wait..."

But now you can wear the Romana costume the night before Halloween, and the Nuala one on Halloween! Did you ever settle on the right wig for the Nuala costume?

True!

I haven't bought the wig yet, no. I've been... kind of procrastinating because I wanted to check prices at this store downtown, so now I'm pretty much buying from the store downtown, I guess, unless the price/quality difference is significant enough that I want to pay for expedited delivery. So much for planning ahead... :P

That sounds like a really awesome party, though!
