Bad Love Poetry Reading This Saturday at 7:00!!

We hope to see lots of people at The Parlor for some laughs on Saturday! To get you in the mood, take some time to read this wonderful poem written by a former co-worker of mine. It is a work of genius.

The Biology of Love

Girl,
Like carbohydrates I store up my love for you
My love for you is void of any fat impurities
Your pains are as hard as a solid solute
But give me a chance and I will dissolve your pains
In the solvent of my love

Girl,
Our love was at the point of cohesion
We had our differences but don't fight our adhesion
I have a cell theory of how our love began
It might be a little feeble but not to worry
We'll build it up with more protein
I promise to keep our love fresh and healthy
I will nourish it with organic food

Girl,
I remember the old days when I would drown in worries
But by osmosis your warm smile got to me
You've grown distant to me lately, if I didn't know better
I'd say your personal bubble is like a cell wall
With its pourous cell membrane. It allows respiration
But when we fight it seems your respiration breaks.
Your nucleus starts to ache making your nucleic acid go wild

Girl,
I'm not like other organelles who are simply looking to jump
On the next active transport to cause fermentation in the relationship
But I'm here to practice diffusion in the matter
I promise to change my ways
Our love will be self contained
Like the process of photosynthesis
And I will make your nucleus happy.

And that is your update! Also, we are debating whether or not to have an ugly sweater party. White people love them. What do you guys think? Please respond to the survey. And also, should it be a dance party or a grand Christmas celebration with pizza, Christmas music by Sufjan Stevens, Provo Bakery treats, and hot chocolate? Maybe some Karaoke? Please, feedback is wanted.

Thanks guy!!

Artist of the Month

October and November’s featured artist is Tiffani Herpel. Tiffani grew up in St George and has been interested in photography since she was young. She explains the reason behind her art and passion in the following biography.

My mother has always been a photographer. We've been captured my whole life. She's inspired me a great deal. Always seeing her with a camera made me want to take pictures too. I've always had some kind of camera, whether it was disposable film camera, or my first digital camera which was a Kodak DC120. I've taken pictures for as long as I can remember. Photography has just always been a part of my life.
I prefer taking pictures of people. People in their own world. For instance, the picture I took of the woman feeding the pigeon is my absolute favorite capture. She is in her own world with her pigeon friends, just being. Living. I think moments like that which can be captured are perfect. I also enjoy taking pictures of people in love, such as engagements and family portraits, but I really prefer taking genuine candid captures.
I had a bunch of pictures printed for The Parlor. I wasn't sure which ones to use, but I knew I'd use "Tuppence a Bag" and "NYC Collage" because Tuppence one is my favorite images, as stated before, and NYC is actually a favorite among many of my friends and my family. The other ones are photos that I always go back to; they make me think and they make my heart happy. I wanted to share that with everyone. They also show my eyes quite well in that they show how my eyes portray things. Captured.
Many people have the opportunity and ability to grab a camera and take pictures. I may just be another one of those people. Either way, I love it. I love being able to freeze time and remember how I felt the very moment I was taking the picture. Feeling the way I did in that very moment will always be with me. It's magic.
