"Glam", which in my world on Sunday walking around Waikiki's stores--oops, sorry, EMPORIUMS and GALLERIAS--is short for "glamorous" which the dictionery defines as "an air of compelling charm, romance, and excitement, especially when delusively alluring." YOU GET THE PICTURE, OR SEE MINE BELOW It...

Shopping at the Kahala Mall is always fun, but this time I discovered something I had not seen before: A BUST OF JACK LORD OF HAWAII 5-0 FAME OF THE ORIGINAL TV SERIES.

Branding? A hat? Who knew? The first thing I did when I came here to Hawaii earlier in June, is to buy THAT HAT at Nordstrom's. It was love at first sight. In the beginning, I wore that hat because: 1. Strong Tradewinds mussing up my hair. 2. Sun in eyes. 3. Sun very hot on my poor untanned head...
