My Name Is Earl: In ‘The Professor’, Earl sets out to return a laptop computer he stole from Professor Alex Myers, who turns out to be a beautiful woman – at least until she gets stung a swarm of bees: Karma’s a bitch. Peggy Teague was head makeup artist; Michael Mosher, Clinton Wayne and Robert Maverick have all worked on special makeup effects for various episodes but I have no idea who did this makeup other than that Michael Mosher told me that it wasn’t him. If anyone can confirm the credits for this makeup, please email me.
Zhu ba da lian meng / The Irresistible Piggies: Four young women work for the same company: Mo is beautiful but balding, Mei has excessive body hair, Hung (Kelly Lin) has a large red birthmark on her face, and Pao has abnormally small eyes and large teeth. They are teased and discriminated against by their other colleagues, and fired by their beautiful but evil boss. But with some help they become irresistibly beautiful and secretly get rehired under new identities to get their revenge. Chun Sau Ha was credited as makeup artist but I do not know if she was responsible for the special makeup: if anyone can clarify the credits, please email me.
