Belated thank you's, mrshouse, SusiGo and Yitzock !

I joined a short time ago : http://arwendeluhtiene.tumblr.com/  Still working on the theme customization and such. It's a cosplay+fandom life centered blog

*adds lurking around your Tumblr's to her to-do list *

I have the CosplaySky replica, and I couldn't be happier about it, it's really accurate and very comfy as an actual Winter coat (and of course, being a crazy Sherlockian, it IS my main Winter coat xD)

And from the back:
 

@OnlyinWestwood  Oh, me too :D! It's a pity there are so few Sherlockians and Whovians in my area!

@stoertebeker  Always happy to enable xD!  About the work, I guess I'll have to test it as well, and see what happens if I wear it when going to work on the doctorate :D

 Sherlock in not that popular here in Spain, so the only thing I've found (to date) in comic/manga/cosplay conventions is some badges and magnets. 

The thing is, I was surprised at seeing that Sherlock isn't all that popular in London either, at least going for the lack of merchandising...Maybe British comic and fan events would be another thing.

Spiders, lizards and most bugs disgust me, but I wouldn't put those in a phobia scale, unless we were talking about large spiders and dangerous snakes (then the disgust would very likely escalate xD).

-Wasps, on the other hand, are a phobia of mine. Probably because I got stung by a few when I was a child...
-Dangerous dogs. Not a fan of dogs generally, but the dangerous ones do scare me a lot.
-Trypanophobia (needles).
-Religious fanatics and mob mentality. Being in an area of extreme misoginy (think Near East level).
-Also quite a bit of a hyponchondriac, me. And I'm afraid of bad things happening to my loved ones.
-Psychological terror is the form of horror that most gets to me.

Oh, this is SO going to be a Winter Solstice self-present for me and my mum !!

Hi, fellow Sherlockian flutist *waves*! Yes, the flute is an evil instrument indeed  
Very nice cover ! I'm playing Irene's theme on the piano right now, as part of a Sherlock medley, but I must give it a go with the flute as well

What about cosplay conventions, ComicCon style, or random geeky events (like geeky groups, premières, etc)? I do wear my Sherlock coat in public because it's a 21st Century cosplay after all and it doesn't clash much, but I can't cosplay anywhere else either (as much as I'd wish to go out in long medieval dresses and leather jerkins, life is so unfair xD).  The work aspect is of course totally understandable, but there are still a handful of situations when you could cosplay if you so wished  

Also, it's not my intention to meddle in any private affairs, and I mean no offense, but in my respectful opinion I find it rather unfair that you would feel the need to stop from doing something you like just because your husband doesn't like it/wouldn't uderstand it. It's your life! You're entitled to like and do something he doesn't. It's all about what makes us happy, I think, as long as we don't hurt anyone, and cosplaying has never hurt anyone, that I know of  Not trying to enable, just saying that there shouldn't be a time when you can 'no longer do something' just because you're in a relationship/have a family/...My mum and I cosplay together, and my dad is not into cosplaying, and actually finds it 'weird' and 'a waste of time and money'. But it's his opinion, not ours, and he doesn't actively try to make us stop, nor is he entitled to. Just my two feminist cents  

I love quoting Sherlock as well! Especially when I'm bashing Internet trolls, muahaha xD

 

I celebrate a neodruidic-inspired Samhain rather than dressing-in-costume-Halloween, but I am planning an Elsa cosplay for a geeky event in December, if that also counts
