SG Fan loses weight to fit into costume

[Crewman47]

Found this article on the Daily Records website earlier and I thought it was kind of weird that the motivation to lose weight was so that this fan could fit into an SG costume that was worn by one of the cast on the show.

Here's the link:

As you can see it's listed under weird news.

I've never been the type of fan who'd buy a piece of clothing worn by an actor and then want to wear it, that's what replicas are for, aren't they?

The American is lost here. How much weight is "three stone"? I thought the UK went all metric?

Anyway, it's a bizarre motivation, but whatever works.

42 pounds.

I wore a screen used costume for Halloween a couple of years ago. I didn't buy it to wear it, but I did try it on and found that it fit. Then, at a loss for Halloween one year, decided what the heck, it's just hanging in the back of my closet.

This is the costume, btw: http://kpitalrisk.free.fr/images/stars/14000/s_sci_ironside_seaquest_.jpg

Whatever works.

Yeah, if that's the motivation she needed, good for her for finding it.

she kinda looks like Sam at a glance, or corner of your eye

Not quite all metric, things such as a persons weight and height, and distances say between London and Glasgow woulbe be given in miles.

For things like temapture, buying grocerys it's sold in metric.

But back on topic, if that motivation works, that's a good thing.

Maybe she could have bought one of Amanda Tapping's costumes from a later season.

Great news, whats the problem here?

 

[Kestra]

She owns 70 costumes so I guess she can wear one if she wants!

 

[USS Kongo]

Good for her.

What's more startling to me is that she obtained the costume at an Amanda Tapping convention. There's an entire convention where the only subject is Amanda Tapping?

Wish I could loose 3 stone just by riding an exercise bike...

Probably just her shorthand way of referring to it. I often refer to conventions by who the guests were. E.g., all Vulkons were called Vulkon, but when I say "remember at the Patrick Stewart convention...", my friends know exactly which one I'm talking about.

A part of thinks she cut her hair to look like Tapping...

Good for her!
I plan to buy a Shatner costume from TUC or Gen so I won't have this problem.

Well, it's slightly more exciting than losing it to fit into a prom dress, or a pair of Jordache jeans.
