Doctor Who Christmas Special 2012
Okay, so I am a HUGE fan of Doctor Who, and I was reluctant to watch the episode last night because I am such a big fan of Rory & Amy. Who is this new companion I thought, she's not cool. I was wrong. Amy & Rory are forever first in my two hearts, but Clara Oswin Osgood is pretty boss.
First, is she a ghost? An alien? An Immortal? How does she keep dying & re-appearing in different times? I'm betting on Ghost just because that would be so amazingly splendiferous, a ghost companion!
Also, did anyone else notice how the Doctor had more human emotions? He was sulking over the Ponds- as was I- and he said that "The Universe Owes Me!" and he would find Clara, because, gasp! he seemed to be romantically interested in her! He was almost selfish with how he was thinking about her & about his own life. Much as a human would be after they lost loved ones. I'm very interested to see how the Doctor's new outlook on life develops over the new season.
Personally, I think it'd be good for him to finally get a girl again, it was so sad when he had to break up with Rose, he deserves a woman- who seems to live a very long time as he does, so he can actually be with her without her aging & him never aging ither. I mean, Clara always looks the same! So young, I believe they would make an excellent match! She's very adventurous and strong- and I think even though the Doctor views her as someone to almost " keep" as a companion, I think she could straighten out his view of her.
I am always going to miss Amy & Rory but Clara Oswin Osgood seems pretty cool. I mean the closing shot, of her in modern times standing by her old Victorian grave- EPIC!!

Scoop Shop
Recently I went to a local thrift store called Scoop Shop with one of my best friends & my boyfriend. It's in the city off of Elmwood, it's so cool in there!
There are racks on racks of vintage clothes and rows and rows of vintage shoes all in this wee shop tucked away behind a toy store.
I got a pair of Doc Martens, made in England, for $40, pretty awesome if I do say so myself.
They have tons of brooches there, and, clip on earrings- which are very hard to find. The lady who owns the shop is really sweet & loves to talk to her customers.
I took some pictures of me in my new boots, looking all tough then attempting to take a jumping picture- turned out kind of awkward, but still cool.
Do you have a favorite thrift shop?

What I Wore:: Halston & Sketches in my Sketchbook
Sweater: Halston.------ My Dad bought this sweater for my Mom when they first started dating in 1980- its a for real Halston sweater. My Mom didn't have a lot of clothes- she was REALLY poor & my Dad got her a bunch of swanky clothing that she has passed down to me- well what was left of it. She loved everything so much it basically wore out! I got lucky & got this sweater and some great original concert tees- such as two Bob Seger ones and an original Michael Jackson tour shirt!!! My Dad wasn't rich by any means but he loved my Mom so much he took her shopping & got her these clothes. My Mom still has one black shirt she got years before I was born, that she refuses to get rid of, and she still wears it- only around the house of course. Its ripped and faded but she loves the thing so much! I want it because it would look so grungy cool with a pair of skinny jeans and some flats. But I would never dare steal it from her- she is in love with it.
Well from that lovely story about my sweater to where I got my jeans- Plato's Closet. WOAH, deep.
Shoes: Kohl's- also so deep
Trouser Socks- Target - I love target
Scarf- Plato's Closet- I actually wore this scarf when I went to NYC & to Strawberry Fields where I left a peace sign for John Lennon. I drew it on a piece of red paper and then folded it into a crane and left it in the middle of the peace sign in Strawberry Fields- and I crossed it off of my life bucket list. That was an experience that was beautiful & I will never forget it.
