Halloween might be the only time you put on makeup and a wig, but for Christine Gambito, AKA Happy Slip, makeup and a wig are a part of her job--and what a job it is.  Two years since she first started posting her hysterical impersonations of her parents and relatives on YouTube, Gambito has been interviewed or mentioned on various media outlets like The New York Times, ABS-CBN, Businessweek.com, and The Asia Sentinel.com.  Gambito has 16, 317 fans on Facebook, and her YouTube channel has over 200,000 subscribers.  Her legendary video, “Mixed Nuts”, which won second place in the 2006 YouTube Awards for best comedy, has over four million views on YouTube. She has over 47 million total video views on YouTube alone.  Not bad for something that started out “only” as a hobby.
