You definitely seem uncomfortable in that picture. It’s hard to imagine how Gigi Edgley, the rest of the costumed Farscapees, or anybody who has worked in elaborate creature costumes have managed to tolerate the process of make-up day in and day out.
Yeah. Having done that makeup and costume five times now, I have some idea of what the actors must go through. With me, it's a one day affair. But day in and day out, it could do you in. Which is one reason that Virginia Hey left Farscape — the demands of the makeup. The makeup in the photo required almost four hours of airbrushing, plus constant touch ups.
In the photo, I think I'm probably most hot and wishing I could sweat.
