(This is the second blog in a series of blogs entitled “Brado’s Quarter-Life Crisis” for the Meltdownshow.com. Enjoy.)
In the middle of the week it was relieved online what the new Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will be wearing in the upcoming Doctor Who series from the BBC.
I usually don’t get all excited about costume design in British television, but figured it was a point of interest knowing that in the next year you’ll start to see tweens dressing like a 1200-year-old Time Lord (55-year-old man) in thick sole Dr. Martens and a red silk lined coat…
And did you notice the shoes? No “sand shoes” this time around. The Doctor (costume designer) has great taste…
Dr. Martens are cool.
These are my Docs. They’re not as shiny or frilly as the Doctor’s and are low-top, but I don’t mind. They happen to be the best fitting pair of shoes I’ve ever owned.
“These shoes! They fit perfectly!”
That was an 8th Doctor quote by the way; “sand shoes” was a War Doctor quote. The more you know…
Anyways, there are three reasons why I bring this up:
- I’ve owned these shoes for well over a year and don’t want to be labeled as an American-Whovian fanboy who hopes to one day travel in time by wearing Doctor Who themed clothing (although that may be partially true).
-
I now have 3/5 of a Halloween costume (shoes, pants, shirt buttoned to the top). All I’m missing is the fancy red silk lined coat and *grey hair.
-
I have very intuitive fashion sense for the year 200,000… Too bad it’s 2014.
*English spelling is grey, while the American spelling is gray. The more you know…
