The
Contact Sheet Since we’re in the business of helping people find love, we can never resist sending out a newsletter for Valentine’s Day to keep encouraging people to get out there and meet people, whether online or off. Yes, Valentine’s Day is overly commercialized, and can be potentially awkward if you’re only up to date number two, but for whatever reason there’s something in the air this time of year, so take advantage of it! Be bold, and introduce yourself to someone you’ve noticed at your bus stop, or at the bookstore. What do you have to lose? Best, Before and After of the Month:
What’s wrong with this “before”? It was smart to take a photo in flattering open shade, in front of a nice green background, but the photographer didn’t compensate and underexposed the shot. It’s way too dark and you can’t really see his face clearly. Even if you can make out his face, he looks a little scared. In the ‘after’ shot his confidence really comes through, especially in his eyes. For more before and afters, check out our gallery or past newsletters. Promotions: Power of Love Yes, it’s a curious thing, but why let a bad photo stop you from going out and finding it? In honor of Valentine’s Day, all photo shoots booked in February will receive $50 any package. Take advantage of this deep discount to update your photo online! What They're Saying:
“You won't believe the response I've received! I've had people contact me on Jdate who never wrote before, those that wrote before can't believe how good I look, etc.! Have received about 75 emails from Jdate! And on Observer men are writing and telling me how beautiful I am. I owe it all to you!” Off You Go: Looking for something to do on the big V-day, with or without a date? If you’re into live music, check out the following event. I’ve always found The Baggot Inn to be a friendly, easy place to meet music lovers of all ages. If you like bluegrass, they have an amazing casual jam there every Wednesday night too. Smoochdown Rocking
the Northeast since 1999, New York City's Old Nationals have a sound
"...steeped in the vernacular of American roots music, offering
a fresh take on rock and roll, country, blues, R&B, and bluegrass..."
and have drawn comparison to such artists as Neil Young, The Rolling
Stones, The Band, Uncle Tupelo, and R&B greats Otis Redding
and Van Morrison. http://www.oldnationals.com Coach Notes: Fashion coach Susan Sommers shows men and women how to look fabulous for any occasion through in person or phone styling sessions.

Year, New Hue Looking for a color that makes every woman look sensational (and every man look stylish) in photos—and in person? It’s pink. But not the bright, hot pink of last spring and summer, rather a softer, sweeter and subtler version. One of the ways I’m currently wearing this versatile shade is on my cheeks—a rosy blush, high on the apples of my cheek. This placement, according to the experts, is the flush of the moment, although if you like a less girlish look, wear blush slightly lower on the cheeks. Although pink eyeshadow is also highly touted, it makes me look like I have pink eye, so I prefer a soft toast tint. According to makeup maven Bobbi Brown, choose pink lipsticks and glosses according to your hair color: blondes look best in opaque pastel pinks and brunettes in sheer pink or lip colors with a slight brown cast. I’m a redhead and find that a beigey pink lipstick looks pretty with my complexion. A blush sweater or blouse is an obvious choice for softness around the face, but I much prefer multistrands of pale pink pearls. They look newer and fresher and create an appealing focal point. And it doesn’t matter if they’re real or just really great imposters. Pink is also a wonderful shade for men. A crisp pink shirt, whether solid or patterned or a pink paisley or geometric tie works with brown, gray, navy and black. For those guys who live in jeans, try wearing them with a T-shirt, sports jacket and pink patterned square in your pocket. The total effect is effortless and original. Pink socks with a staid suit is another option. Because they’re concealed under your trousers, they can be your personal style secret.
