You've probably seen a woman dressed up as the Stanley Cup at Edmonton Oilers games, but how much work goes into becoming "Mama Stanley?"

Every game day, Edmonton grandma Mary Loewen covers her skin in silver paint, dons a shiny wig held in place with what she estimates is 200 bobby pins, before putting on her outfit: two sequin silver blazers, opera-length satin gloves, and a bedazzled Stanley Cup top hat that she said took six hours to make.

"To get it on, it's 30 minutes. To get it off is longer — probably about an hour, with all this stuff," Loewen said, gesturing to her elaborate outfit.

To say she stands out in a crowd is an understatement: Loewen estimates she's posed for about 10,000 photos with other fans and is often spotted in crowd shots during the hockey game broadcast.

Morgan Black joined the Edmonton grandma as she got ready to see the process.
