About Us

DFW Cosplay Gallifrey was born in Dallas, Texas in March of 2009 at ALL-CON. We wanted to be a group of not just of fans, but a group focused on the COSPLAY aspect of Doctor Who.

We pride ourselves in having excellent cosplayers, having knowledgeable officers and members, and helping to our members to learn and improve in the world of Whovian cosplay. We encourage everyone to have fun and grow with us!

Since then, we have expanded our group from DFW to chapters under the Cosplay Gallifrey moniker in several states. Do you want to rep our group in your city or state? Or take us us international in your country? Feel free to talk to us about starting your own local chapter!



National High Council


The following people comprise the National High Council of Cosplay Gallifrey and oversee the management of all chapters. The President and Vice President from each local chapter are responsible for influencing the direction and rules governing all chapters.


DFW Chapter

Lord High President James Enelow


James Enelow is the current president of the DFW chapter and an original “founder” of Cosplay Gallifrey.  He goes under the Con name 'Glitchmatic' and has been cosplaying since 2009.  The majority of his cosplays are Doctor Who cosplay, but he has also been trying to break out of that mold.  James is also a writer, blogger and he teaches English at several colleges in the DFW area.  He promotes the use of science fiction film and imagery in his classes to keep students interested.  Every Halloween he comes into class dressed as the 4th doctor.


 He is a currently published writer, and has several blogs, including Truth and Cosplay,  DFW Cosplay Gallifrey: the Blog and Juxtaposition Collision all of which deal with the wisdom and wonder of  Nerd Fandom.

His job is to run the general day-to-day of Cosplay Gallifrey and he takes pride in being connected directly with every cosplayer in the group.









Queen Den Mother & Vice President Debbie Redfern


Debbie Redfern, aka 'Queen Den Mother', has been a creative person her whole life, working in almost every medium at some point. After receiving a BA in Fine Arts with a minor in Art History, she now works in the IT world but spends most evenings on fun projects. Her creative talents are currently focused on sewing, but who knows what she'll get up to next!

She's best known for her cosplay of Queen Elizabeth I from 'Day of the Doctor' and has won a few awards for it and other cosplays she has made. She really enjoys throwing femme spins on male characters and taking thrift-store finds and breathing new life into them for herself and others. She feels that cosplay should be accessible & fun to everyone, no matter their size, gender, color, or body shape, and she attempts to foster confidence and encourage all cosplayers, no matter the fandom.



CC Chapter

Lady High President April C.

ICT Chapter

Lord High President Derek Ledford 

Derek Ledford is a driven new member out of Kansas whose contributions to DFW-CG and ICT-CG are numerous and structured. His vision for his individual chapter is a welcome spring of information to and for Cosplay Gallifrey's future.

Lady Chancellor & Vice President Alicia Nielson

Alicia Nielson's early work with the Whovians of Wichita made her the perfect choice for Vice-President.  Specializing  in both T.A.R.D.I.S. dresses and her Rose Tyler cosplay, she is one of the very talented new members of the rising  ICT-CG.

HOU Chapter

Lord High President Pete C.

Pete is the president of CGHOU and serves on the National High Council. You may have seen him cosplay as The Fourth Doctor (seasons 13-14) at various cons in Houston and DFW and may have even been lucky enough to be offered a Jelly Baby. His future cosplays include the Eighth and Twelfth Doctors. Pete’s love of Doctor Who started when his mother allowed him to stay up late on Saturday nights to watch Tom Baker’s episodes on PBS. This eventually led to the creation of his cosplay name ‘Scarves Are Cool’. In addition to his role as our president, his insane eye for detail has made him one of our prop building/ modding specialists. You can find pictures of some of the props he has created in the Who Fest album on our group page.

Outside of cosplay, Pete is a happy family man who loves to watch sci-fi and fantasy television shows/ movies (start talking about Game of Thrones!). We would describe him as friendly and dependable. Also, once he sets his mind on something he’ll follow through with it (and basically crush it like nobody’s business).



Lady Chancellor & Vice President  Nicki V.

Nicole (a.k.a. Nicki) is the Vice-President of CGHOU. Your feed has probably been bombarded by her PSAs and random comments. Nicki’s Doctor Who cosplays include (movie version) Femme 8, Romana (‘Destiny of the Daleks’), and Ace (‘Survival’). For Gallifrey One, she’s working on Lucie Miller (‘To the Death’) and another Femme 8 (‘Night of the Doctor’). If you have ever come into contact with Nicki, she has more than likely gushed about how wonderful the Big Finish Audios are and may try to force you to listen to at least ‘Blood of the Daleks (part one and two)’. Her first exposure to Doctor Who was Sylvester McCoy regenerating into Paul McGann (a grown up Disney Prince). On a totally non-Doctor Who related note, her cosplay name ‘Wind-Up Bird’ originates from the Haruki Murakami novel ‘The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle’. In addition to her responsibilities as our Vice-President, Nicki uses her background in dance and theater to assist in skit/character adaptations in photographs/ performances and to help build confidence of those around her.

NC Chapter

Lady High President Jane Willer

Jane Willer is the current President of NC-CG.  She's currently a Second Grade teacher in Goldsboro, which is about 60 miles outside the capital city of Raleigh and has been costuming/cosplaying for 13 years now with various groups, including the 501st and the Rebel Legion respectively.  In addition, she is working on a Doctoral in Educational Leadership as well as becoming a Children’s author.

She's been a Doctor Who fan since 2007 when her roommate first introduced an episode to her. Her first venture into cosplay was in 2012 as an original-creation companion, and by 2014 she was cosplaying as River Song at Dragon Con. She is looking forward to someday cosplaying as Missy (The Mistress/Master) and Queen Elizabeth from the 50th Special.




SEA Chapter

Lord High President Paxton P. 




TOK Chapter

Lord High President Eric Downs

Eric Downs resides in Tulsa Oklahoma and has been a regular cosplayer to All-Con, Dallas Comicon Fan Days and other conventions for several years. Eric’s costumes include Barney Stenson, The 10th Doctor, Deadpool, Batman, Stormtroopers, Ghostbusters, Doctor Horrible and Dexter Morgan. Eric is the president of TOK Cosplay Gallifrey and also a regular exhibitor of movie and television cars around the Oklahoma, Texas, and other areas. TOK-CG was the first chapter formed when Cosplay Gallifrey went national.














Lady Chancellor & Vice President Demi Gray 

Demi Gray is known for her many creative cosplays and eclectic style. As a regular to TOK-CG she was one of the more succinct choices for leadership.  Her most recent cosplay is 'The Moment/Bad Wolf Girl' from the 50th Anniversary Special, 'Day of the Doctor.'
