Yesterday, I decided to have some fun and design for myself a bowtie...
... and a fez!
Cool, right?
And, while I was at it, I made a miniature bowtie for my friend's 11th Doctor doll.
Bowties are cool! :D

An Extremely Brief Synopsis of the Christmas Special
Posted by Emily Sizemore
Ok, lots of ships, tons of aliens, essentially the Pandorica all over again. Clara needs a boyfriend, due to the fact she kinda sort of made one up, so calls the Doctor, who shows up naked (Reminder: send of brain bleach to Clara) which freaks out her family (No explanation needed there). Doctor and Clara run off, go to "Church" (AKA spaceship of awesomeness) hang out with some lady obsessed with war paint, teleport to this planet, get attack by Weeping Angels, summon TARDIS and- MATT SMITH IS BALD (Reminder: Buy brain bleach for self). The Doctor and Clara land in a town called Christmas which is surrounded by a truth field, find a crack in the universe in a church which is holding Galifray filled with Timelords asking Doctor Who? This is needed for confirmation that they have the right universe, but no one wants them back and if they came back the Time War would start all over again. Oh, and SURPRISE the planet's name is Tresalore! [Not sure on spelling, but y'all are smart and can probably figure it out] The Doctor sends Clara back to the TARDIS and sends her back home to keep her safe. He fights the aliens and tells the children stories and dances the same dance he did atAmy and Rory's wedding (These aren't tears. THEY ARE NOT TEARS! *sniffle*). Clara flew through the time vortex on the TARDIS, delaying it by three hundred years, finally shows up, and goes with the Doctor to visit War Paint Lady, who is now a Dalek along with everyone else in Church. She fights off Dalek control inside of her and saves the Doctor and Clara. AND THE DOCTOR LEAVES CLARA AND THERE'S THE LITTLE BOY AND ALL THE DRAWINGS AND OH MY EYES AND CLARA IS CRYING AND SHE GOES BACK AGAIN AND I CAN'T BREATHE AND SHE GOES TO BE WITH HIM WHEN THE DOCTOR DIES AND READS HIM A POEM ABOUT ELEVEN'S HOUR ENDING AND SOMEONE FIND A FLUFFY CREATURE TO CRY INTO AND HE GOES TO BE KILLED BY THE DALEKS AND CLARA SCREAMS AT TIMELORDS AND THIS IS WHAT IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO DIE AND THE TIMELORDS GIVE THE DOCTOR MORE REGENERATIONS AND HE SAVES EVERYONE FROM THE DALEKS AND IT'S ALL BURNING AND CLARA FINDS THE DOCTOR IN THE TARDIS AND HE'S EATING FISH FINGERS AND CUSTARD AND HE SEES ALL THE DRAWINGS BY THE CHILDREN WHO LOVED HIM AMD LITTLE AMELIA POND IS RUNNING THROUGH THEM AND I CAN'T STOP CRYING AND HE SAYS GOODBYE TO CLARA AND AMY POND ALL GROWN UP STROKES HIS FACE AND DON'T YOU DARE DROP THAT BOW TIE RAGGEDY MAN WE ALL LOVE YOU DON'T LEAVE US!!! Oh look, Peter Capaldi.

Companion of the Month: Clara Oswald
Posted by Kia Alan
I want to start out my first column with Clara Oswald. I have found with recent excessive watching of the Eleventh Doctor's seasons that since Rose Tyler, Clara is the first companion he's been able to open up with. She, other than Amy and Rory, is my favorite. Everything about this character, from the way she was written to the way she is portrayed by Jenna Louise Coleman, is mysterious. I could go into so much more depth than what I am about to give you but I fear that would make this blog far too long.
From the moment we meet this character in Asylum of the Daleks we never knew how far she would come, where the Doctor would take her and how much of a bond would be formed between these two. But, as Doctor did say many times before; she is impossible. Not just impossibly cute, but impossibly well pronounced. From saving the Doctor from the Daleks to dying more than once right before the Doctor's eyes - Clara Oswin Oswald was a mystery to us all. A mystery worth solving.
I think my favorite exchange between these two was when Eleven asked her, 'how did you know?' and she simply responded, 'your eyes.' Clara is the kind of person to know when you're sad just by the simple look in your eye and I think that's why the Doctor loves her so much; because she can see through this impossibly intricate man who's seen the end of all things and the beginning of the universe, who's lived ten different lives and seen more people than he would to have liked to die right before his eyes. She sees his pain, she sees his hurt and all because of a look in his eyes.
Clara and the Doctor aren't in love like Rose and Ten/Nine, they don't have a complicated relationship like Amy and Eleven; they're just friends, confidants. Remember in the 50th special how Eleven grabbed her hand and held it tight as he remembered his past and the War Doctor? For me, that's a powerful moment. Hand holding is a normal thing on Doctor Who because he wants to make sure his companions are always with him, always safe. So what makes that moment so special? Because he's afraid.
"I've had many lives, many faces. And there's one I don't admit to; one I try very hard to forget."
How many times have we seen the Doctor be afraid? Not many. This one sticks out to me because instead of covering up that fear with a fancy speech that makes cry, or his sad, heavy smile he instead becomes vulnerable. He reaches for the one person who he knows can comfort him. Clara. As he remembered what he had done, he looked to the floor with tears in his eyes and took the hand of the one person in the universe who could see through his pain and he held her hand tight, biting back any tears that may come. It is so nice to see the Doctor becoming vulnerable because it just reassures us that he really is human.
Clara brings out that side of him. She doesn't make him vulnerable to make him look weak, she just has the special touch with him that makes him realize how human he's become over the many years and I think he likes that feeling. Not anyone, even the Doctor, can stay strong forever. Sometimes you have to break, sometimes you have to become vulnerable to really see how you can be strong again.
I'm looking forward (in a strange happy/sad way) to see how Clara reacts to her Doctor leaving and Twelve showing up out of the blue. Will this beautiful bond between them weaver like it did with Rose when Ten came along? Will she see him as the same man? And most importantly will she still be able to see that pain in his eyes? It's going to new for all of us but I see Clara as kind to accept it and move on. Because just like she gives the Doctor strength, he give her strength.
Clara Oswald will be a favorite of mine through it all. Whether you ship Whouffle´or not, like her or not, you can't deny the bond they have which makes their relationship even better than the others.

How to Dress like Clara Oswin Oswald
Posted by Hannah B.
Hi Guys! Woah, 50 years! Insane, right? ;) well, it's not a 50th related outfit, sorry! Maybe soon!
Okay, so it's inspired from Journey To The Centre Of The TARDIS. It's based on Clara. A red collar dress is what you really need, but I have a collar necklace and red dress in the picture.
There's no shoes in this set. I have an explanation... at first I couldn't find any that looked like her shoes in the episode. But I found a pair:
Okay... so now with the shoes and dress out of the way, let's go onto the tights. They should be black or grey if you wear them, but these are more of an optional.
Her hair was in a bun in the episode, so you'll need that if you are going to do a cosplay :)
Light blush, a bit of lipstick or lipgloss and you're good in the make-up department. Congratulations, you just learned how to dress like COO!
'Til later...

An Update from Emily - HISHE Videos!
Posted by Emily Sizemore
Ok so the recap is taking me longer than I thought it would. I got pretty busy, but it should be done either this weekend or the next. Sorry bout that :\
But I did find something ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS (Well, in my opinion) while I was poking around. There is a YouTube channel called HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) and they made "How Doomsday Should Have Ended". They also have another video with the Eleventh Doctor talking with Superman and Batman. It's not as funny as the first one, but it has it's moments.
Here they are:
