Amanda Tapping’s Wardrobe Distraction

Jan 21st, 2010

When my husband and I have exhausted our pet alligator’s patience with the mocking of his ancestors, dressing up in dinosaur costumes and “evolving”, we plop our butts down on the couch in front of the boob tube.

There’s this chick, Amanda Tapping, who hosts this unsatisfying paranormal TV mini-show called Proof Positive where each episode describes some phenomena, shows some lame “evidence”, and concludes that the proof is inconclusive. You know, like Ghost Hunters, only it’s about fourteen minutes long instead of sixty. You might be able to find it on onDemand. Apparently, it used to be a one-hour show back in 2004 on the Sci-Fi (now dubiously renamed SyFy) channel, so I’m guessing they edited it down to the “good parts”.

Anyway this chick, whom you might recognize from such TV shows as Stargate SG-1 and Sanctuary:

Hey, I just realized: our TV kinda looks like an iPhone, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I was watching this show and instead of listening to what she was saying I kept staring at her shirt/top/sweater/whatever.

She’s blabbing about some UFO sighting in Illinois and I’m thinking, What is up with that sweater?

Amanda: Four police officers throughout the state witnessed something in the sky that night and…

Me: I mean, what kind of bra do you wear with that?

Amanda: The 911 dispatcher explains what she heard from each of the…

Me: Did she just tuck her bra strap back and hold it tight against her side? Is that a bra strap or just a shadow?

Amanda: …a triangle shaped object with blinking red and blue lights. The noiseless flying object was the size of a football field…

Me: Or maybe she’s wearing one of those with just one strap. Do they even make those?

Amanda: …investigators examine the evidence and interview the police officers who then submit to polygraph tests…

Me: She can’t be braless, her boobies are too smooth.

Amanda: …tests reveal they were telling the truth…

Me: Maybe it’s one of those strapless bras.

Amanda: …What did those men see that night? Were they extraterrestrial?

Me: I know! The sweater must have one of those built-in support devices. Like a bathing suit!

Amanda: Proof Positive has decided it’s inconclusive. I’m Amanda Tapping and we’ll see you next time.

Me: Wait – what happened? Was this about UFOs? What did I miss?

great – just what I do with the weather channel girl but my thoughts are hmm similar but focused on a different agenda.

I love Amanda Tapping and I am a huge, huge fan of the Stargate SG-1 series. (I watched all ten seasons of the show at Hulu.com last year. Sanctuary is okay but I like her best without her British accent. Yeah, the sweater is a mystery.

She used an American accent on this show. Why would she do that for a non-acting type gig I wonder?

I could barely read the text…that is rather distracting but my guess is only tape and pasties…lol

I wonder if my dad knows about this program. He loved her from Stargate. I had to hear about her all the time. He could not listen to what she was saying for hours.

And you're right– bizarre sweater.

LOL I do the same thing with people like that. I do that in meetings at work too, much to my detriment because I miss what my action items are.

I got very bored with Stargate, but I loved Sanctuary when it first came out. Now we still watch it, but it's losing the baseline…too many core characters are changing and being weeded out. The mother/daughter thing was the best, and that's gone so it's not the same.

That's one strange sweater there, angora maybe????

Have a terrific day!!!

Ahahaha HAHAHAHA ahhahahah HAHAAHHAa h ahahahha

I would have been just as distracted by her sweater too!
http://tattytiara.blogspot.com/ tattytiara

At first I wasn't sure if it was a knock off of a Star Trek uniform or not until you clued me in that it was her own clothes. I would have been surprised a costume department would let something on the air that didn't fit more smoothly if it was supposed to be futuristic, but otherwise it seemed unlikely that somebody would wear something that looked so much like a stylized Star Trek uniform that wasn't supposed to actually be a sci fi uniform on a sci fi channel.

Summary: Wow. That was weird.

Dang, guess I'm going to have to reread this article for a fourth time. I keep getting as far as the TV that looks like an iPhone, then there's first and second pictures and…well…the text seems to get fuzzy, then there's that third picture…Nice sweater…now what was my point again?
http://wwwsueann.blogspot.com SueAnn

ROFL!! I totally do things like that too!! I vote strapless!!

She could be wearing “Blossoms” those stick-on nipple covers you get from Victoria's Secret… but I, personally, wouldn't know anything about such things.

I'm thinking about the meeting where the producers sign off on each taping. Writer: You guys gonna let her wear that thing? Dang, her lung's gonna fall out! Nobody's gonna take my work on this piece seriously, guys! Director: AssClown, nobody's taken your work seriously since Sixty Minutes turned you down. I don't wannna be associated with all you flesh-peddling fifth-rates. Imma be talking to AMC for the fifth season of Mad Men. Producer: I think we'll finally land that Cialis account tonight. Somebody call make-up to touch up that age spot under her right collarbone.

I know what you mean. I just want to rip one arm off of it or get a needle and thread and slap a patch on it.

Ok, yeah, that stupid sweater was the very first thing I noticed about the picture. It's like she accidentally got the neckline stuck in her pit and nobody wanted to tell her and they just let her go on air and look like a dork.
http://www.northernoutpostpa.blogspot.com/ Shieldmaiden1196

The pin is an odd choice. The LOCATION of the pin is downright insane.
http://badgals-radio.com/ Ausetkmt

looks like she's had a boob job, so she doesn't need a bra under a top like that. sad as it may be.. she is just like nene leakes; another attention seeking impossibly perky mawwob (middle aged women with-out brassiers).
they make me “kiss mi teet”

It's inconclusive, but I believe that this sweater was transported to Amanda from the 24th Century. You see fabulous wardrobe like this on Star Trek all the time. (What I've gotta wonder is if she has the same problem that those Trekkies do with it riding up all the time?)
Boy, do I wish we had cable right about now!
lifewithkaishon

Seriously. That is the most bizarre shirt ever! I can't look away. It is a train wreck!

Yes, the sweater is very distracting. And mysterious. It perhaps needs a show of it's own.

Thanks for friending me on goodreads.

Maybe she's flat chested and the sweater came with the boobies. I know for a fact it's all the rage now.

I bought one with really really large droopy boobies. You know, the kind that fall below the belt. I'm a big hit with the 70 and over set. Next week I'm going try ultra pointy and perky.

UFO's yess–BOOBFOs

Falsies need no bras.

xo

p.s. and your 82 comments should blast those baddies right out of your wounded ego. Your popularity speaks for itself.

No, the woman is just perky! Hate em!

I thought it was a Star Trek uniform….
http://joanies-random-rambling.blogspot.com/ Joanie M

I want to know why she's wearing a brooch near her nipple.
http://gramme2006.blogspot.com/ gayle

That's so funny cause I do the same thing and then I tell my husband “rewind that..I didn't hear her/him”
http://www.mindovermullis.blogspot.com/ Amy

I think she's lucky there wasn't another kind of sighting. I'll probably have to joint the Witless Protection Program when I admit this, but I like to watch Wheel of Fortune just to make fun of Vanna's clothes. I know. That's the kind of thing that'll take me straight to the place where you can't buy a vowel.

she is trying out for the star trek series…isn't that one of their old outfits?

That sweater would look so much better on a goat. Just sayin'….

Hubby and I do that too with the local Fox news, weather and sports reporters! It seems like each week the cleavage gets lower and lower (or is it bigger and bigger?).

http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

Is that the channel with the old man and the two younger chicks? One of them
with the raspy voice and one being that chick who does those diet commercial
with a football player or somebody. Julianna something? I got sick of
watching local news in L.A. because they got less and less professional with
their clothes and their anecdotes. It's like they were trying ot be the TV
Morning Zoo or something. Ick.

http://www.thefiftyfactor.com/ Joanna Jenkins

Do you remember Christine Devine, the 10pm news anchor– She's kind of
a stiff and very serious? Now they have her wearing lace teddies and
plunging necklines! And the “sports girls” look like bimbos fromthe
Playboy Mansion. Which leaved Mark Thompson– The younger guy with
the really deep voice– He does a weekly feature on “T&A” nightclub
parties.

You're talking about the Good Day LA which is also on Fox in the
morning and just as nasty.

It's pathetic. The NBC and ABC local news have more normal anchors
but the weather and traffic “girls” are a size 0 with huge boobs. But
I guess that's what “sells” these days.

Hope you are dry and okay up there. It's actually hailing here at the
moment!

So close…yet..so far away.

And did she put that pin/brooch there on purpose, or is it part of the sweater as yet another reason to draw your eye over to that very awkward section of neckline? What a stupid sweater. A Fashion FAIL in my book, for sure.

I know I couldn't pull it off…too much back fat under the arms.

We would love to invite you to a bloggers club where the best blogs gather for fun, learning and more fun. It is new and we are looking for great bloggers and thought of you. http://sexnfries.ning.com/

That just can't be comfortable. Like you, I would have been too distracted to pay attention to anything else.
http://contrariness.blogspot.com/ Grace

Okay, made me laugh!
GladysSpeaks

You know what it is? It's tape. She has duct tape over her nipples. It makes a great make shift bra and does wonders as a push up bra but just be careful when you remove it. Well it does get rid of those bothersome boob hairs.

http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

Ouchie!

Victoria Secret's 100-way bra… Comes in black, white and nude.

Ummm, your welcome.
http://mizdinah.blogspot.com/ Dinah Gogina

I agree. That shirt is way too distracting! Plus she looks like an android. I guess that's why she's perky and braless.
cheekyterrapin

Wow.. I'm distracted too. I wonder when I scrolled down to the last word of your post. I think she wears those strapless stick-on-your-boob type. I think she brought the sweater back through the Stargate – that's why it looked like that..
http://howtobecomeacatladywithoutthecats.blogspot.com CatLadyLarew

Ha! I would have been sitting there thinking the exact same thing!
http://redbirdacres.blogspot.com/ Sparky

It's Hollywood. She has fake boobs to go with her fake personality.
http://wmljshewbridge.blogspot.com/ Lorie Shewbridge

I took forever to post my comment because I kept going back to look at the sweater… What the heck DOES she wear under that? Because I want it… her boobies look fantastic! I want fantastic looking boobies!!
http://www.strokeofliving.blogspot.com Dale Ottley

Um, Nanny G, I don't think they make one sided bras with one a strap on one side. Now pasties yeah, that's it.
http://www.onachickenwingandaprayer.blogspot.com/ Kathy Durrett

Just found this blog. I think these same thoughts about the anchorette babes on Fox. Why must their necklines be so plunging?
Anyway, I'm new to blogging and I'm trying to learn. I also LOVE goats….owned a few in my time. They always bring a smile. Love your blog….great stuff!
