Maria goes old-school

Maria’s suitcase is filled with make-up.

She makes the most of her time and supplies, giving herself a dark-tanned face, simulating plump lips by folding down her lower lip and poking her tongue up to represent her upper lip, messing up her hair, and pulling her shirt down to expose her cleavage. She then says, in a different accent, that she is from Malmö.

Babben guesses that Maria is meant to be “Anita Ekland”, before remembering that the name she is looking for is actually Anita Ekberg.

Babben awards Maria third place, praising her enthusiasm, but saying that the make-up alone wasn’t enough to specifically identify Anita Ekberg.
