Michelle Trachtenberg has revealed a secret that will change the way you will view Buffy forever.

The actress revealed to the About.com web site that rather than wear the latest in vamp-kicking boots, most scenes saw them in rather less threatening footwear.

"We would always wear boots or we'd have to be doing stunts," she said. "But every time you didn't see [our] feet, we were wearing slippers!"

The revelation comes shortly after fellow cast members revealed at the End of Days Convention that Alexis Denisof often plays scenes behind the hotel counter on Angel without his trousers. Joss Whedon had previously claimed Tony Head preferred trouser-free acting too. Must be the mild Los Angeles weather.

Michelle also confirmed that whilst no Dawn the Vampire Slayer series was forthcoming, she's still be happy to work on a new show for Joss - if the script is right.

"I think Dawn is a very interesting character and there are many different parts to her that I have yet to discover. I don't know what Joss has in store, but it could possibly be something that I would revisit.

"I feel as long as I can do something with the character, then I'll go right back in. But if I don't, then it's not worth it."
