Be Jamoka's
Valentine, What to wear to Thursday's Reception, Hear Poetry,

It's
time for a trip to Contempo Casuals mo,
because Thursday
is Dean Nimmer's reception at the famous Taber Gallery
which is run by the famous Amy
"Bannerqueen" Johnquest who last week famously
had her El Camino stolen thanks to the famous hamburgler
and his little pal, OJ. (for our amusement) but this
week famously has a new car thanks to gifts dropping
from helicopters in the sky (as predicted by the famous
Rob
Brezny).
But first, Jamoka wants to wish everyone a belated
Happy Valentine's Day. This is his Valentine's Day
card, shot by Annie Liebowitz.
This week's newsletter seems to have become a lot
about fashion with Dean's reception coming up Thursday.
I notice all the town's best manicure artists are
booked solid and I think I know why.

| Jamoka also
wants to know who sent him the mysterious secret Valentine
with no return address. The curiosity is getting to
him. |

DEAN NIMMER
THIS THURSDAY @ TABER GALLERY @ HCC Special section!
What to wear to the reception February 16 at 5:30 pm.
Naturally you are agonizing over what to wear to Dean's reception
at THE TABER GALLERY AT HOLYOKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
We all are, trust me. Dean is a wreck!
So, to make things easier for everyone I have done your research
for you. Here are some helpful tips I found online. You can
owe me. I found this info on a prom site. Proms are a lot
like receptions:
Put on makeup carefully: You'll want to put on a sheer
foundation and unless you have to, skip the blush. You might
want to go for the smokey eye look and clear lip gloss.
Remember that you can only dramatize the eyes or the lips.
If you can't do your own makeup, go to the local mall or
have a parent/friend do it for you. Another good makeup
idea is a glittery shadow. It will highlight your eyes and
make them the focal point.
Choose the right jewelry: Don't go overboard matching.
Either necklace and bracelet, bracelet and earrings, or necklace
and earrings. Don't match all 3!
Nails: Get a manicure/pedicure or glue on nails. Keep
in mind that if they are too long or too squared off then
it will not be glamourous, it will be tacky. Which is pretty
pointless.
Hair: Style your hair to go with your dress. Experiment
the week before the formal to see what looks best with your
dress, frame, etc.
Shoes: Honey, you want at least 3 inch heels. But,
remember you will be dancing all night, so pick up shoes you're
comfortable in. Either buy cheap shoes you will not wear again
but match the outfit or buy expensive shoes that you will
wear with every outfit.
Grooming: Get ready by shaving, plucking eyebrows,
showering, etc. Its good to get ready with friends! Having
a tan is hot but if you are using a self tanner be sure to
have used it before. You don't want to look orange and blotchy
for your big night. Ick!!!

From Kelsey
Flynn:
Greetings all Your Stories - Northampton posters, contributors,
writers, and readers -
First off, the good news is the Republican article
on Your Stories - Northampton slated for two
weeks ago was pushed back to this Sunday, the 19th.
That means any events, stories, photos, commentary you
post between now and then will reap the benefits of
the increased traffic the article will create. We've got
the makings of a great online community happening at
Your Stories - Northampton with people taking advantage
of a very useful and dynamic tool. Not only are contributors
posting their own events, but they are also writing
more in-depth news stories that are getting readers'
attention. If you haven't yet, click over and try it.

It's easy to login, write, and post your entry. Instead
of waiting for the newspaper to capture your organization,
or event, or adventure, you can write it and have it
available for immediate perusal by an audience that
grows everyday.
The great news is along with the article in the Republican
will be the first Your Stories - Northampton column.
I will be writing a weekly column in the Republican
highlighting the goings-on in Your Stories - Northampton.
The column will spotlight different entries from the
week pulling more readers to the site.
Thank you for all the feedback regarding this project.
Because of your contributions and input, we've been
able to create a more vital destination with more exciting
interactive opportunities ahead. Please don't hesitate
to write or call with your ideas, concerns, or problems
regarding Your Stories - Northampton. I'm passionate
about getting this tool out there to the community,
please also feel free to send me your ideas for community
groups you think may be interested in being more involved
with Your Stories - Northampton.
Cheers,
Kelsey Flynn

Gallery Talk:
Tuesday, Feb 21 at 2 PM
Reception to follow the talk.
See artist's work at www.jackbalas.com
"For years,
my work has focused on painting and photography, with
occasional works in other media fixed in for variety.
Across them all, I have been interested in linking
the visual and the verbal, conceptual and material,
the viewer and history, fact and fiction, abstraction
and representation. Broad territory, granted, but
I have long been interested in maps, and the idea
that you, the viewer, can build bridges between images
and ideas, interpreting a construct where, despite
my intent to have laid out a map in front of you,
I can not guess where you might choose to go, nor
even which route you might take."
