Introduction	Hi, I'm Courtney Zepeda-Hawkes. I have been doing make-up for 17 years. I started out in salons and retail, but decided I needed more creative work and started freelancing , doing make-up and hair, in 1999. I worked for the first Sephora in the States in NYC and I have trained with over 35 cosmetic companies. I am also trained as a henna tattoo artist and have 10 years of experience under my belt. I dabble in all things crafty when I am not busy being Mom to my two super-hip and happening kids, Tate and Jack.
Interests	I am very interested in fashion and style, it goes with the profession. I am a fine artist too, so I still enjoy drawing, painting or sculpting from time to time. Sewing is just another extension of that. And last but not least, I make sterling silver jewelry. I adore almost all things Japanese. I love all of the super-cute Kawaii stuff and I can't get enough of Japanese candy! I love illustration. Some of my favorite illustrators are Jeffrey Fulvimari, Shag, Tokidoki and Kirsten Ulve. I highly suggest you check them out for some amazing eye candy!
Favorite Movies	Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Garden State, The Usual Suspects, Clerks, Young Frankenstein, The Fifth Element, Strange Days, Go, Ghost World, Rushmore, Manhunter, Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Pandemonium, Hysterical, The Private Eyes, The Color Purple, The Who's Tommy, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Better Off Dead, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Porky's II, What's Up Doc?, Stealing Beauty, American Beauty, The Goodbye Girl, Mr. Holland's Opus, Tootsie...the list goes on.
Favorite Music	SPOON (I've been listening to "Gimme Fiction" for about 2 years straight now...only to be usurped by their latest "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga"), Sea Wolf, Nada Surf, Jason Mraz, Ben Lee, Franz Ferdinand, White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Beastie Boys, The Killers, Morcheeba, PJ Harvey, Graham Coxon, Placebo, Quarashi, Tori Amos, World Party, Michael Penn, Happy Mondays, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, U2, Midnight Oil, Garbage, REM, pre-Gwyneth Coldplay, The Beatles, The Monkees, Depeche Mode, The Verve, Hooverphonic, The Gorillaz, Keane, The Vines, Starflyer 59, The Shins...and so much more.
Favorite Books	My Japanese crafting books, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris, The Cell by Stephen King (the ending was totally disappointing), any make-up book by Kevyn Aucoin...

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?

I felt the choo-choos made my caboose look big! Ba-dum-bump.
