If I were in NYC, I'd TOTALLY apply.
/female, 25, and 5'9", wooooo!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Lucky you! I'd have wear 5 inch heels, and the glasses, well, that would spell my doom. Take 'em off and it would like "is that Joe Flanigan over there or is that coatrack?" ;)

I wish I was in New York, cuz I could so do this!! I'm 29, and 5'10".

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to feel like a shrimp ;)

[busaikko]

So cool! I'd do that! (Well, if I were in NYC, and tall, and could wear my glasses.... I suppose I could do it all by myself, sort of a Wraith-force of One invasion of Osaka, but. Getting arrested, not so cool....)

[pavaneofstars.livejournal.com]

Well, that would leave me out because I'm not tall enough and I also wear glasses. But that is cool! Watch out for the wraith on new year's eve, lol!

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Don't feel like a shrimp! They don't make shoes tall enough to make me 5'9! But I like to think that I'm very nearly Rachel Luttrell's height--and you must really be her height, if you just need five inches.

Katy Manning (Jo Grant on Doctor Who) apparently wore coke-bottle-thick glasses whenever not actively on camera and was constantly running into things when she was on camera because she couldn't see a freaking thing.

You're in good company.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm about Rachel's height, and the glasses, well, take 'em off and I'm sure I'd walk into something. Tried contacts but they kept getting stuck to the eyeballs. Unpleasant.

I just hope this wraith in Times Square actually makes it to TV. ANd to think I wasn't going to watch. Now I must!

[mf_luder_xf]

Oh, to be tall. And near NYC. lol

Thanks for the info! Hopefully someone will be there and capture photos.

Ooh, that sounds like so much fun! I'm not very tall, but I have some 4'' heels that could put me at the right height. And you get paid to do it! I'm only between 5'4'' and 5'5'', so I'd be a short Wraith.

The lady who played Leela (Louise Jamison) was also blind as a bat and she was the one that liked to throw knives too... ;)

[ladyniko.livejournal.com]

I'm too short, don't have the platform boots required (Not even 5'4" in my sneakers) to make me that tall and don't live in the NYC region.

(I can fudge on the glasses/contacts thing - I can wear the lenses, just normally don't because I'm lazy. :p)

I totally hope that they manage to pull this off....

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

I too am a 5'2" pixie on the blindish side. Can't wear contacts because of the risk of eye infections and add the fact that Melbourne is a leetle bit far away but it's stinking hot 33°C and I don't want to go to cold weather. :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wouldn't look good on a resume ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping SciFi will do some promo on it.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I wouldn't mind warm weather at this point.

[faekitty71.livejournal.com]

Not tall enough and if I didn't despise Time Square on New Years, I would love to watch.

[missatralissa.livejournal.com]

5’9”-6’5”... they discriminate against short Wraith!! ;~;

this is such a cool idea though, and now i too will have to watch some of the new Year's Eve shows. ^^

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hopefully she didn't throw the knives at people ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, think I will too :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Can you imagine all the short wraiths running around Times Square if they didn't have the height requirement? ;)

[agentcat47.livejournal.com]

Heh, that would be really funny. At least we'd be promoting the show though! I'd love to go down to Manhattan and do this, but I have no idea if they'd be willing since I'm a bit short. Would have to show up in my 4-5'' heels, I guess!

FRICKIN' AUGH, DUDE

[krysalys.livejournal.com]

Just... AUGH.
*headkeyboardsmash*
*whimper*
I'd have to wear what... seven inch platform shoes to make that requirement.
AUGH.
Just... *whimpers more*
Couldn't I play a short female breeder Wraith?
*pouts* I could totally do that. Even got the fat thing down, though no actual baby in there... ;p

SO CONSUMED WITH A WRAITH MIDGET ARMY OVERTAKING NEW YORK. *snigger*
Or some really twisted Wizard of Oz remake with the Wraith as the Little People.
"We represent, the Lollipop Kids!"
*falls over laughing*
