About Me

Makeup artist/costume designer, living in Manhattan since 1990. I love to sew, paint, interior decorate, make hats,style wigs, create puppets,and apply lots and lots of makeup to myself and others when I can. I love creating new costumes to go out in, especially Victorian and 18th century inspired ones. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
