When Hallie is piercing Annie's ear, you can see that her ear is already pierced and Hallie is just sticking a pin through it. Yeah, I know she wasn't actually going to pierce her ear, but they could have made it look more real.
Yeah they could have put make up on to cover the hole but that wouldn't have been very smart. She stuck a pin through someone's ear, and if it would have been covered with make up there is a likely chance of her putting the pin in the wrong place.
sounds like a desperate attempt to be smart. why in gods name would they actually pierce an 11 year olds ear on screen? about it being a big production and using make up, if they were actually stupid enough to do it, the make up could have hindered the ability to see an existing hole and turned out messy. a good point, but no need to have posted it.
