the time machine list

If I had a time machine (and an an unlimited budget, but that goes without saying-- time machines aren't cheap), in addition to all the interesting historical events and fascinating historical figures I'd like to see, I would probably also want to get dolled up and go to fabulous parties in different eras. (Actually, I could probably meet the historical figures at the parties, couldn't I?) Towards this end, every once in a while I browse through the museum section at Antique Dress, on the grounds that I might be able to pick something up new while I'm time traveling.

But my favorite, and one I've come back to many, many times, is this.

These are just a few of the many reasons that I would appreciate it if the Doctor would do me a favor and bring the TARDIS around for a quick shopping trip. Sadly, he does not seem very interested in clothes, unless you count bow ties and giant scarves. So the odds, alas, aren't good.

  2. Right? I have to admit, I am annoyed when they do historical episodes and fail to take advantage of the BBC costume closet. See also: why I could rewatch "The Unicorn ans the Wasp" a million times.
