That article about Angelique Trouvere brought back some way old memories for me. She was around years and years ago when I first got into Trek fandom. I'd never heard the story about Heidi Saha, though. Very sad.
Honestly, the scantily dressed women in the costume competition have been around forever at SF cons. I think it is an attention-getting thing on occasion, because you can be moderately good-looking at a con and still have every guy following you around. LOL sad but true. I'm not Heidi Klum by a long shot, but back in the day when I was I better shape than I am now, I hall-costumed as the chick from the Heavy Metal movie (can't remember now if she even had a name), costume borrowed from a friend, and yeah it was kind of fun to turn heads.
