About Me

My name is Charlotte Cross (more commonly known as Skaii) and I am currently studying my second year of a Make-up Artistry and Special Make-up Effects Foundation Degree course at Bradford College. I have a keen eye for detail, am very creative and have a great interest in Japanese culture. Travelling is a passion of mine and I would like to explore different countries throughout the world – most importantly Japan. I adore performing and exploring different characters.

Interests & Hobbies

I study Japanese time permitting. The Japanese language and culture fascinates me and I like the challenge of learning new languages.

Acting and singing are a big passion of mine and so I perform when I can. My most recent show was ‘RENT’ in July 2010 where I played ‘Mimi’ a principle part. I thoroughly enjoy becoming a different person and creating a character.

I love to cook and experiment with recipes and ingredients. Whilst I like preparing food, I seldom eat my own cooking. My guest’s/family member/friend’s reaction and enjoyment is enough to satisfy me.

I am very artistic and am very creative. I draw and create art where and when I can.

When they money is available, I like to travel to new and interesting places. I hope to visit Japan and Hong Kong at some point in the not too distant future to experience the complete change in culture and to also practice some of the Japanese language I have learned!
