Jennifer James is an uber-talented makeup artist and super cool diva.  I was introduced to Ms. James via Specktra.  I did not realize that she was a local lady until a fellow Specktrette mentioned that she worked at one of the premier malls in the area.   I find her to be a generous artist, sharing tips and giving encouragement.
