InterWho - Whovian Rebekah Yates

Hello Sweeties!

Welcome to our next InterWho (Whovian Interview)..
I had the pleasure of interviewing Rebekah Yates, so grab a cup of tea (maybe 2!) and enjoy the read ... 
Allons-y!

BBB: Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us about yourself…
RY: Hey-yo, I'm Becka.  I find this question really hard to answer -lol- I actually did all the other questions first, this is the last one. I always feel like I'm filling out some sort of random online dating profile!  Um, well. Basic stuff I guess, born in '77 in Detroit, immigrated to Canada in 2001, dual citizen. Married, have one kid, one cat, we live in a house.  I love being in water but I'm not a very good swimmer. Bridges and boats terrify me.  Spiders too, don't like them.  I love cupcakes but I'd say I enjoy more salty/savory foods. I also am not super keen on chocolate and I find most chocolate cake to be gross! You REALLY have to have amazing  flavour combinations for me to love it. If I say  I enjoy your chocolate cake, trust me, that's a HUGE compliment!  I love being around my family and friends but an ideal weekend for me is legit to go camping solo with a couple of good books, a bottle or two of wine and a campfire.  I really like cats, it always used to surprise people up till recently that I didn't actually HAVE a cat - people assumed I had like 20 or something. More random facts... I love to scrapbook with paper and stickers, none of that digital stuff! I love the feeling of working with paper. I love trashy romance novels.  I like painting but it makes me anxious - want to be amused? Take me to a paint night, give me a few drinks and watch me unravel.. it's ok, I'll laugh about me being a total dingus with you!  I like road races but I'm not sure I actually like running. I'm all about the bling. My favourite medal is probably my half marathon medal from Miami, it's shiny gold with palm trees and diamonds.   I guess I can wrap this up, I'm sure those who find me on social media will get a feel of me more there. Don't be shy!   xo

BBB: When did you first become a Whovian?
RY: I had seen some Classic who as a youngster - Tom Baker's 4th Doctor. I would watch it with my dad sometimes. It wasn't something he would seek out, but if it was on TV when he was channel surfing, he'd leave it playing.  As for NuWho, we fell down that rabbit hole pretty quickly in December of 2013 after attending Ottawa's PopExpo.  On our adventures that day, my son Loosh (at the time 7) discovered the newly built Ottawa Tardis, Daleks and of course K-9 with the Doctor Who Society of Canada-Ottawa Chapter.  After a good amount of time interacting with Dalek Souffle, we discovered that she was being piloted by none other than Neve McIntosh. On our way home, Loosh asked if we could watch the show "all those awesome things were from" and I said, SURE why not.  It was just after the 50th anniversary had aired, Series 1-7a were on Netflix so we fired it up that night and watched Rose & The End of the World before bedtime.  In any other moment, I would have binge watched the entire show, but Netflix told on me because The Unquiet Dead was marked watched, and my son was very mad that I watched without him *L*



BBB: What is your favorite Classic Who and/or New Who episode and why?
RY: I haven't had a chance to go back and watch much Classic Who to know exactly what episodes are what, it's on my list of things to watch more of. I tend to gravitate towards more 3rd & 4th Doctor when I do.   My favourite NuWho episode? Man it's hard to pick JUST one. Can I pick one from each Doctor? *L* I would say my favourite 9th Doctor episode is The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. 10th Doctor I would have to say the Fires of Pompeii. For 11, I have a harder time nailing down just one. The stories were so much more complex and intertwined. I would say for series 5-7, that I would choose, Vincent & The Doctor, The Girl Who Waited or Journey to the Centre of the Tardis.   For 12, again very hard to choose just one. Listen, Mummy on the Orient Express, Hell Bent/Heaven Sent were my faves. I'm sure that will change as I rewatch series 8 & 9 over the next bit though while waiting for series 10 to arrive. 

BBB: If you could meet just one Doctor Who cast or crew member, who would it be?
RY: Catherine Tate hands down. She's a brilliantly funny lady whom I admired well before Doctor Who. That said, I wouldn't say no to meeting any of the cast! 

BBB: Who is your favorite Doctor and why?
RY: I have a soft spot for all the NuWho Doctors, I love them for different reasons, but to choose just one, I'm going to have to say Matt Smith's 11.   When 11 showed up on the scene, I just didn't "get" him. He was this noodley arm flailing goofball, it just felt all wrong. I got all the way to the end of his run and was ready to move on. I was more in love with the Ponds than the Doctor (and I totally hated Clara which is another story!).  I spent a lot of time listening to the soundtracks to the series while I worked (I need something without words when I edit photos) and really connected to the music of series 5-7.  On a second watch of 11's run, I really fell in love with him and had a better appreciation for how "old" this young Doctor was. How fierce he was and how dangerous he was.  When 11 got mad, it was more than a little bit scary.



BBB: Who is your favorite companion and why?
RY: I originally started this with just Donna, but I feel I need to get my newly appreciative feelings for Clara in here as well. I really did not like Clara when she started her regular run as a Companion in 7B.  However, like most Companions she grew on me a little bit. I started to give her a chance. With all her character development with 12, I really grew to love her, especially after re-watching from start to finish.  Face the Raven is up there with Angels Take Manhattan. I haven't re-watched it, it hurts too much.   As series 9 was wrapping up, I realized that I was really going to miss having Clara in the Tardis and she's honestly the first Companion that I can't see any kind of replacement for.

Donna Noble however,  is my spirit animal.  I find that of all the NuWho Companions, Donna has the saddest beginning and the saddest ending with the most amazing journey between them.  The amount of personal growth as a human being that takes place is astounding, plus don't we all wish that others around us would see us for something more, believe in us more and encourage us to be better. Donna went from being the person who needed that, to being the person who was DOING that. Helping those around her to be more, to be better, to be believed in. 

BBB: If you could travel with The Doctor in his TARDIS to any time and/or place, where would you like to go?
RY: Like Rose, the need to go back and spend time with her passed on parent is great. Being able to go back in time to spend even just one more day with my mom would be the greatest gift.  I wouldn't try to change the outcome, but I would definitely take her on vacations and do silly things that I missed out on with living so far away the last 13 years of her life.

BBB: Are you in any other fandoms besides Doctor Who? Such as Torchwood or Sherlock?
RY: I do enjoy me some Torchwood and Sherlock (of various makes).  I am a big fan of the most recent Sherlock series with Benedict and Martin, however I am a huge fan of Jeremy Brett's Sherlock as well. Our kitty cat's name is Watson, I'd love to get "Sherlock" but my husband is good with one cat, and the kid is determined whatever second cat we get is named Sushi *L*

Another fandom that I love, is the Wizarding World.  I partake in lots of things HP, including the Hogwart's Running Club (http://www.hogwartsrunningclub.org/) which is a virtual run club that holds various events over the course of a calendar year benefiting different charities each time.   We use an app called Charity Miles that not only gives sponsored donations  to a charity of our choice for every run, walk or bike ride that we do, it gives us "House Points".  Yes, we very much do a House Cup *L* In 2015, HRC runners raised nearly $500,000 via the Charity Miles app, and $406,171 from the event registrations. Earlier this year when we lost Alan Rickman, we raised nearly $30k for one of his favourite charities in less than a week.  It's amazing to be part of something so huge that does #SoMuchGood

BBB: Tell us about your business or hobbies even if they are not related to Doctor Who..
RY: I am a photographer, owning my own business.  I focus mainly on family portraiture, but love to throw in the mix some glamour, wedding or even some saucy boudoir sessions.  I've been taking photographs pretty much my entire life, my first camera was this tiny little 110 film camera from Kodak. My parents gave it to me, before the tender age of 5, because I kept taking my mom's camera and using up all her film! That thing went EVERYWHERE with me and I had it well into my teens. I wish I still had it to be honest, if anything for nostalgia.  But yeah, if you're ever in the Ottawa Valley and want pretty pictures, hit me up :) https://www.facebook.com/miaouphotography

Hobby-wise, phew yeah. Photography for fun, playing piano, scrapbooking, hiking. I love to play video games with my son (LEGO Dimensions currently), watching movies/TV and spend a lot of time nerding out with my best friend Chrissy. We get into some seriously wacky adventures together.  I also do Doctor Who cosplay, with Donna & Amy being my two go-tos for inspiration.  I'm all about the cosplay that I can pull from my closet. Yes I've had to go out and buy clothing/accessories for it all, but there is nothing from them I can't wear every day if I felt like it.  I also do a gender bent Captain America (with a vintage flair), but most people don't get it. That's ok though, I love it and it's a fun one to do. One day I'll choose a character with a more involved presence, but who it is, I just don't know. My son also gets into the cosplay game with me when we go out; his current offerings are Rory Williams, 11th Doctor, Owen Grady and Dipper Pines. 



BBB: Tell us your favorite product from Blue Box Balm..
RY: Oh gosh, this is almost as hard as introducing myself. I have to say my favourite balms are Doctor Donna & EarthShock.  My favourite scent product is the Wicked moisturizing stick. I wear it almost every day, not just to soften up all my rough spots but just as a general "perfume". I recently just got some of the new Sonic Spritz products and they are DIVINE.  Just a wee bit goes a long way without being overpowering!  I have applied it early in the morning and at bedtime over 12 hours later, it's still there.  I've got a matching Spritz for my moisturizing sticks. The perfect combination!

***Special! In honor of Becka's favorite product, Blue Box Balm is offering Doctor Donna Lip Balm for just $2! This special offer ends 3/5, so hurry!

BBB: Can our readers follow you on social sites? 
RY: Sure! If you're a Balmer in our group, feel free to add me to your FB. I'm probably sitting there wishing I could  work up the nerve to add you -lol-  Fair warning though, there's a lot of my cat, I try to keep it mostly to his own social media  to save my personal Facebook from overwhelming my friends with all the cat pics. https://www.facebook.com/comewatson  https://www.instagram.com/miaouphoto/

BBB: Is there anything you would like to add before we wrap up this interview (such as conventions you gone to, cast you have met, a collection you have, etc)?
RY: I attend the Ottawa ComicCon, Pop Expo, Geek Market as well as the Montreal ComicCon. One day I'd love to hit some of the bigger ones like NYC, Wizard World. I'd like to say San Diego, but that one I think is TOO big for me -lol-  I've only done 3 DW cast member photo ops: John Barrowman on his own and then again with Eve Myles and one with  Billie Piper.  The rest of my photo ops have been different fandoms (Sir Patrick Stewart, William Shatner, Nathan Fillion, Jewel Staite, Billy Boyd, Ernie Hudson, Tom Felton). I'm hoping to get a photo op this Spring at OCC with Karen Gillan.  My most perfect and ideal photo op would be Alex Kingston, Karen Gillan, Arthur Davrill and Matt Smith.  My most ideal but  probably never will happen photo op would be  with Tom Hiddleston. Collection wise - I have a soft spot for PopVinyls. I have to be really careful and choose with great consideration to  which I get because I would buy them all *L* I also collect Doctor Who comics which I over organize into binders sorted by Doctor *L*

InterWho - Whovian Sheila Swartz

Hello Sweeties!

Welcome to our next InterWho (Whovian Interview)..
I had the pleasure of interviewing Sheila Swartz, so grab a cup of tea and enjoy the read ... 
Allons-y!

BBB: Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us about yourself…
SS: Hi! My name is Sheila and I’m 30 years old. I live in the Northwest United States with my wonderful and amazing mom, who takes care of me since I was born with cerebral palsy. I weighed 1 lb., 9 oz. at birth, but I’ve grown a little. . . I teach New Testament Greek for a local Christian study program, and my faith in Jesus is the biggest blessing in my life. I love to hang out with friends; they’ve become accustomed to my quoting Doctor Who at really random times.

BBB: When did you first become a Whovian?
SS: I discovered the show about a year before the 50th anniversary.

BBB: What is your favorite Classic Who and/or New Who episode and why?
SS: I just got caught up on all of New Who, and “Vincent and the Doctor” remains my favorite episode. I saw a few episodes prior to that one while channel flipping one evening; I found the show confusing at first, to be honest! “Vincent” was the one that got me irrevocably hooked on Who. I absolutely love the way The Doctor cultivates people’s ability to impact each other’s lives, whether or not one is aware of it at the time. While Vincent’s end didn’t change, watching him discover his own influence was just so powerful! I also really liked the way Amy encouraged Vincent and accepted him amidst his brokenness. “Bow ties are cool!”

BBB: If you could meet just one Doctor Who cast or crew member, who would it be?
SS: David Tennant. He’s a fabulously versatile actor and seems like a kind, gentle man in real life. I am fascinated by his command of language when he does Shakespeare, and he can bounce back and forth between humor and depth in so many roles. David has inspired me to try recording audio books someday. I also enjoy some music from “The Proclaimers” and have a Converse shoe collection, so we’d have a few things in common. Plus, you know, there’s his epic hair.

BBB: Who is your favorite Doctor and why?
SS: Eleven is my Doctor! Matt Smith was the first one I watched, and he embodies such a delightful mix of physical goofiness and introspective moments. It just makes sense that The Doctor can be protective/strong and yet remain utterly entertained by the world(s) around him. It’s as if he’s a 900-year-old child! The Eleventh Doctor has delivered a lot of great speeches in the series and has a dynamite rapport with River Song.

BBB: Who is your favorite companion and why?
SS: Hmmm. I’m a huge fan of the Ponds, but I think I’d have to choose Donna overall. She’s so sassy and keeps The Doctor on his toes. Her extroverted and outspoken personality makes her such a fun character, and she saves the world a lot, even if she can't always remember.

BBB: If you could travel with The Doctor in his TARDIS to any time and/or place, where would you like to go?
SS: England circa the late 1940’s. I’m a massive fan of authors C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and I’d love to meet them and observe them critiquing one another’s works.

BBB: Are you in any other fandoms besides Doctor Who? Such as Torchwood or Sherlock?
SS: Honestly, no. Although, I’m pleased with the way “Downton Abbey” has turned out, and I’ve been known to fangirl over the music group “Celtic Thunder.”

BBB: Tell us about your business or hobbies even if it is not related to Doctor Who..
SS: When I’m not teaching Greek, I enjoy studying/using other foreign languages - mostly Irish and Spanish. I also do Irish dance. Since I’m unable to walk, I use the shoes on my hands, previously spending over six years doing classes and performances with able-bodied friends. I also love to read and watch college tennis matches.


BBB: Tell us your favorite product from Blue Box Balm..
SS: Definitely the “Amy’s Choice” lip balm! It’s the best balm I’ve ever used.

***Special! In honor of Sheila's favorite product, Blue Box Balm is offering Amy's Choice Lip Balm for just $2! This special offer ends 2/29, so hurry!

BBB: Is there anything you would like to add before we wrap up this interview (such as conventions you gone to, cast you have met, a collection you have, etc)?
SS: There have been mini conventions at the library, and some people built a life-sized, functioning Dalek named Klaus. The first time I plunger bumped him, he scanned me and said, “My traveling machine is superior to your traveling machine!” I beg to differ. . .

InterWho - Whovian Amanda Creasy

Hello Sweeties!

Welcome to our next InterWho (Whovian Interview)..
I had the pleasure of interviewing Amanda Creasy, so grab a cup of tea and enjoy the read ... 
Allons-y!

BBB: Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us about yourself…
AC: Hello Traci, and hi everyone!  I’m Mandy- I’m 36 and have been married to my fantastic hubby Scott for 11 years.  I work as a Data Processor for an online high school, and have worked for the company for about 9 years. 

I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life, although I’ve moved about a few times in the state.  I grew up in a very rural area in NW Pennsylvania, then moved to Central PA, and I’ve lived in NE Pennsylvania since 2007.  



BBB: When did you first become a Whovian?
AC:  I’m a fairly recent Whovian.  I took a shine to the show “Big Bang Theory” and Sheldon and Leonard kept mentioning Doctor Who.  When we got Netflix last year, I decided to give the show a chance because I wasn’t sure what else to watch.

 As someone who was never exposed to any type of sci-fi show, I wasn’t sure what to think of it, but within a week, I was hooked!  I loved that the show didn’t define itself by being totally serious or completely silly.  It’s still my favorite part of Who- it’s whatever it wants to be whenever it wants to be it. 

BBB: What is your favorite Classic Who and/or New Who episode and why?
AC:   I was just recently gifted the 4th Doctor’s episodes on DVD, but I haven’t started watching them just yet, so I’ll have to go solely on New Who. 
 I don’t know that I have one episode that stands out as an absolute favorite- I have a few from each series that are near and dear, but to choose only one?  What’s the old adage about picking your favorite child?  ;)

 I suppose I’m feeling warm and fuzzy tonight, so I’d go with “The Lodger”, which features Matt’s Doctor.  He and James Corden play off each other so well and I find it incredibly charming.  I love all of the Doctors, but Matt’s Doctor had these quirks that I find absolutely endearing and I think they’re at showcased beautifully in this episode.  He’s lovely and charming and alien…and I wish he’d make me an omelet because the one on the show looked pretty amazing.  

BBB: If you could meet just one Doctor Who cast or crew member, who would it be?
AC: That depends- is this a quick meet and greet, run in and out?  If so, I’d choose David Tennant, because I’d love the chance to meet him and I’ve seen Esty’s pictures and am incredibly jealous!  ;)

However, if this is a chance to really meet someone- to sit down and talk with them over a cup of tea or coffee, an hour or so…I’d pick Chris Eccleston.  I’d love to have the time to sit down and talk with the man, to learn a little more about him.  He’s so private, and I completely respect that, but at the same time, it makes me want to know him all the more.  To have an opportunity to learn a bit more about someone I genuinely admire and respect would be phenomenal. 

BBB: Who is your favorite Doctor and why?
AC: I haven’t met a Doctor I didn’t love.  Each has his own unique personality quirks and traits. That being said, Nine is my Doctor.  He’s dark and moody, bogged down by grief and guilt…yet he still remains silly and quick to smile.  I only wish we had Chris as the Doctor for more than one series.

BBB: Who is your favorite companion and why?
AC: I know some of you aren’t going to like me for this, and that’s okay, but Rose will probably always be my favorite companion.  I liked that she was an ordinary girl with courage to stand up for what she thought was right- even if it went against what the Doctor thought.

I know many people did not like their romantic story line, but the thought that she created the dimension cannon specifically to get back to the Doctor…if that isn’t loyalty, I’m not sure what is.  (Okay, okay, she was worried about the stars going out too, but hey, let’s just be romantic for a minute and say it was because she missed him and couldn’t live without him.)

BBB: If you could travel with The Doctor in his TARDIS to any time and/or place, where would you like to go?
AC: If it was allowed, I’d just like to go somewhere that I could help; make a difference.  I think that might be a common trait of people who watch the show- we see the world going by and we want to help, but we’re not sure how.  Everything the Doctor does seems rather grandiose, doesn’t it?  You can always see the big picture, whereas, if you do something to help in real life, you’re never really sure it made a difference.  So, I’d like to go somewhere/some place/some time and do something that helps someone- even if it’s just one person.

BBB: Are you in any other fandoms besides Doctor Who? Such as Torchwood or Sherlock?
AC: Oh gravy.  So, being nerdy is pretty cool right now, but I don’t think we want to travel down the roads of my fandoms…they are neither trendy nor cool.  But, since you asked, I’m a fan of Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, The Waltons, Doctor Quinn, Bonanza, Dragnet, and Antiques Roadshow.  I’ve written fanfiction for Big Bang, Bonanza, and Doctor Who.
So…yeah.  I’m uh…I’m pretty hip and cool.  *crickets*

                   Amanda's Desk at work              
 


Amanda's DW display at home

BBB: Tell us about your business or hobbies even if it is not related to Doctor Who..
AC: My husband and I love the outdoors.  We camp several times a year and we’ve got three different tents to take depending on the size of the site and what kind of facility we will be staying at.  We’ve been to 103 of the 120 state parks in Pennsylvania and hope to visit all of them some day.  (My favorites are RB Winter SP and Clear Creek SP, if you were curious!)

Hubs is an avid fisherman, so most weekends if the weather is nice, you will find us out in our little 14 ft fishing boat.

I think the nicest thing about being outdoors is noticing things that you’d just walk by any other time. There is no better sound on earth (in my opinion) than katydids in late summer.

Other interests?  Antiquing, pretty much anything vintage from the 40’s/50’s, trains/rail lines from the past, stories that have been handed down, local history, family history, cross stitch, reading, writing, and cooking.


BBB: Tell us your favorite product from Blue Box Balm..
AC: I think most of you who know me already know the answer to this one- it’s the Ninth Doctor’s balm, Fantastic!  Chocolate and banana- it’s the perfect combination!  I have at least 4 sticks at the moment and I use it at least once a day.


Amanda's Blue Box Balm Collection at work

BBB: Can our readers follow you on social sites? 
AC: I’m on Facebook a lot, and I do have a Twitter account, but I’m not going to pretend like I’m super adept at using it!  If you want to follow me, you can do so @acreasy1

BBB: Is there anything you would like to add before we wrap up this interview (such as conventions you gone to, cast you have met, a collection you have, etc)?
AC: I’ve never been to a con and I’m not sure if I’d ever have the nerve to go.  I love small groups of people but I’m easily overwhelmed with big groups…  So, as much as I’d love to meet all the lovely people from the world of Doctor Who, it sadly seems like it probably won’t happen.

I would love to travel to the UK at some point in my life and visit England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.  Not only do I want to check out the Doctor Who museum in Wales, but I have a ton of family history in Ireland that I’d love to look into.  I have a friend in England that I’d love to meet, too.


Big THANK YOU to Amanda for participating in our whovian interviews!

InterWho - Whovian Milo

Hello Sweeties!

Welcome to our next InterWho (Whovian Interview)..
I had the pleasure of interviewing Milo, so grab a cup of tea and enjoy the read ... 
Allons-y!



BBB: Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us about yourself…
M: Hi! My name is Milo. I'm 27 and I'm from a fairly isolated part of Ontario, Canada. I am genderqueer, I love travelling, and I looooove Doctor Who! I have around 20 tattoos (including four Doctor Who tattoos!) and a bunch of piercings.

BBB: When did you first become a Whovian?
M: I first became a Whovian around my first or second year of university, so I must have been around 18 years old. Whovian forever, no looking back!


BBB: What is your favorite Classic Who and/or New Who episode and why?
M: My favorite New Who episode is hands down "Vincent and the Doctor". Vincent van Gogh has always been my favorite artist ever since I was a kid (I also have two van Gogh tattoos!), and to see my favorite show together with my favorite artist in such a beautiful way was simply breathtaking. I know every word to that episode and it still makes me cry every time.

BBB: If you could meet just one Doctor Who cast or crew member, who would it be?
M: Well considering I've already met Matt Smith (twice), Arthur Darvill, Jenna Coleman, and Steven Moffat... I'd have to say David Tennant! He's dreamy and I think we have a similar sense of humor.


BBB: Who is your favorite Doctor and why?
M: Matt Smith, hands down. After meeting him twice, it confirmed my suspicions that we were both goofy and caring and kind, so I relate to him both on and off screen. Also, how can you not love his giraffe dance/tendencies?!



BBB: Who is your favorite companion and why?
M: This is a tougher one for me. It's really close between Donna and Amy (apparently I love gingers haha). I'm probably leaning slightly more towards Amy but I love them both because they're both so sassy and strong and not afraid to take charge.

BBB: If you could travel with The Doctor in his TARDIS to any time and/or place, where would you like to go?
M: I know this already happened in an episode, but I would love to go and meet/observe Vincent van Gogh. That, or go meet Anne Frank.

BBB: Are you in any other fandoms besides Doctor Who? Such as Torchwood or Sherlock?

BBB: Is there anything you would like to add before we wrap up this interview (such as conventions you gone to, cast you have met, a collection you have, etc)?
M: I went to the UK three times (2 times to Cardiff, Wales and once to London, England) for Doctor Who conventions! I met the cast and crew I mentioned earlier while on my trips there, and my friend and I even accidentally stumbled upon DW filming on a random London street!
