Nicole’s Niche The double standard of dressing up “Ho, ho, ho” isn’t just a phrase reserved for the winter holidays. It seems to me that it starts getting thrown around quite a bit in October, just as soon as female Halloween costumes hit store shelves. From the time us women […]
Pocatello’s third annual Dia de los Muertos celebration has moved to Old Town, and the community is invited to participate! Dia de los Muertos, a celebration of the circle of life, is rooted in the pre-Hispanic indigenous traditions of Mexico. It is a way to honor the dead and to […]
Still time to catch up on issues In my apartment, it’s not unusual to see my roommates and me tuning in to some sort of fluff television. Lately this includes Halloween classics like “Hocus Pocus” or “The Addams Family.” But recently we can also be found viewing something ever-so-slightly more […]
