(This is my only Romana icon, and I so rarely get a chance to use it, so...don't take it personally! ;) )
I was so disappointed when Romana regenerated, because like you, I thought she was just the coolest thing ever. I love how she could match the Doctor pretty much evenly (the TARDIS landing scene you mentioned is hiding in my mood theme, waiting to come out) and she was pretty on top of it all, which was just an added bonus (and I wanted that white dress in the WORST way, even though I'd look like shit in it and might not want it so much now that I'm no longer in high school). I mean...talk about your perfect female role model!
So, yeah, I'm with you on Romana I. Have you ever, btw, seen The Story of English? The one Robert MacNeil did about 20 years ago? The first episode goes back to Anglo-Saxon and shows folks at the BBC learning how to pronounce some for a radio production (or something along that line--it's been 20 years, so I could have the details wrong!). I was sitting in English class my senior year in high school trying to contain myself when Mary Tamm was one of the folks shown at the BBC. /random trivia
If you and elflore ever dress up, ya gotta post a picture. And dernit, it's your bagel, don't let other people tell you how to eat it! ;)
