BUFFY'S VAMP

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.

Michiko 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.

Michiko 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.
