I have to give credit where credit is due. The late Michael Jackson is responsible for my choice in career. Upon multiple viewings of the video (movie really) Thriller, I was hooked. Awed by the transformative power of makeup. “Mom, what do you mean they’re not real zombies? LOOK at them?!” My propensity for lipstick and MJ’s video forever altered my makeup destiny. So, thank you Michael. For Thriller, (both a song and a dance) the Moonwalk, and the use of cha’mone in my everyday life.
