Michiko
had done just about everything while working in Hong Kong. But nothing
really prepared her for this two hour ordeal ordeal in the makeup chair
during her stint on an episode of WB Network's "Buffy". Michiko still carries
a slight scar on her left cheek where the make-up assistant removed the
appliance just a bit two quickly.
Well,
all things considered, the show was obviously fun to do and allowed Michiko
to re-establish some old friendships.
Photo's
in order (top to bottom) are:
Michiko's
final appliance, with and without fangs. The false teeth made it extremely
difficult to close one's mouth.

clowning around with friend (and Sarah Michelle Geller's stunt double SOFIA
CRAWFORD).
Just
a quick aside here. Sofia is without a doubt one of the most beautiful
and tenacious women working in the stunt industry. She has also worked
on several HK films. And just to prove the point of her willingness to
go beyond the point of reason, on one HK production, she broke her ankle
during a chase scene, but continued on to finish her fight scene with Moon
Lee. That my friends is courage and dedication.

with the real (reel) 'BUFFY' - Sarah Michelle Geller. Another really nice
lady. No martial artist though.. but she's learning.
Michiko
once before went under the effects makeup chair on the HK film "MAGIC COP".
She did ware the make-up for all of her close ups in that film, which included
a painful set of contact lenses. The experience was so uncomfortable that
she vowed never to go through that process again.
As
these photo's show.. promises are meant to be broken. |
