Hi Ms. Gainer,
You and I met at the Mac Pro, Pro to Pro party on Friday, January 15th. I mentioned that I am a budding makeup artist and you told me about your website.
I just reviewed the information you posted regarding the Sam Cooke documentary. Like you I became more familiar with his music by creating tapes for my Uncles. I truly love his voice and can't wait to see the documentary.
It was a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to seeing you at the next event!

Hi Shawanda! Yes, I remember you of course and believe me, "Nichelle" is fine.
Since you are a makeup artist, you may enjoy my beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog 55 Secret Street even better. Thanks for stopping by!
