| Parade Commemorates the Birth of
Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Monday, January 16, Mayor Martin O'Malley will lead the city in a parade while the nation pauses to
celebrate the birth of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Approximately 30,000 to 45,000 families who reside in the city of Baltimore, the state of Maryland, and
visiting communities are expected to attend Baltimore's sixth annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration Parade.
When the clock strikes noon, vibrant marching bands from schools in the community, prideful floats, equestrian units, boisterous church
choirs, and special guests will begin to travel the parade route from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Eutaw Street.

| Hello Gorgeous!
Before you head out the door for work, to shop, or to grace the next social shindig with your presence, stop! Look in the mirror and say, "Hello Gorgeous!"
That's what Barbra Streisand said as Fanny Brice in a scene from 1968's "Funny Girl" while admiring herself and all of her Jewish uniqueness in the mirror. We
will never know how many ladies of Jewish decent have been uplifted while watching Barbra's declaration in the mirror, but we can get a glimpse of the construction of Jewish
identity and ideals by visiting the Jewish Museum of Maryland's new exhibit, "Hello Gorgeous! Fashion, Beauty and the Jewish American Ideal."
Debuting January 15 at noon, the exhibit's vintage clothes and accessories will help viewers examine the construction of Jewish identity and the impact of Jews on the
fashion industry. This exhibition will feature vintage clothing and accessories, a tailor's pressing table, an electric permanent-wave machine for hair styling, a flapper-era dress,
wigs and head scarves, an Orthodox-appropriate pink satin dress handmade for a Barbie doll, and a sculpted bust of Baltimore garment manufacturer Henry Sonneborn.
