The Chap is reporting that Doctor Who will be wearing… wait for it… Chinese tweed. Apparently the costumers have sourced star Matt Smith’s jackets from a Canadian company which in turn sources its tweed not from the iconic Harris Tweed, but from mills in East Asia. Not only that, but the fabric is an acrylic blend.
The new Doctor’s wardrobe (including bowtie & braces) was a key part of the conception of the new series of the iconic Doctor Who series. I spoke with the Doctor (Matt Smith) and the writer of the new show (Steven Moffat) last year for my radio show, and was sure to touch on it. Last year, weavers on Harris & Lewis were overwhelmed by demand from fans of the show. This year, will those fans be phoning Beijing?
It may feel absurd to declare a change in wardrobe sourcing to be a “betrayal,” as The Chap does, but there are few more significant and beloved shows in British television than Doctor Who, few more significant costumes than The Doctor’s, and few more significant fabrics than Harris Tweed. So, let it be said: BETRAYAL!

Indeed, BETRAYAL.

So this is a thing. I drove to Kentucky for my brother’s police academy graduation and took US 129 instead of the usual route to change things up a bit. Apparently this squiggly road is huge with motorcyclists who get a kick out of riding it and a cottage industry of photographing each and every vehicle that goes through has sprung up. I think I counted four different companies working along the road with websites they upload the photos to. Clearly US129photos.com does the best job.

Last week we went to IKEA in Atlanta and bought a couch. It ALMOST fit in the car, but not quite, so we strapped it to the roof of the car and drove the 75 miles back to Athens. Thank God for the helpful gentleman who helped us lift it up there and tie it down. We’re still trying to get rid of the old sofa.
