...entry I've ever made. Like, ever. Serious. I don't even think you should look. Save yourself some time and just google "Black Tie And Blue Jeans" and wait for the American Heart Association's shots to pop up. They had a lot of photogs there.
Just saying.
You CAN look at mine.... but don't say I didn't warn you.

As in the days of the Hawaiian Monarchy, parties at `Iolani Palace are eagerly anticipated events. Our goal is to provide a once in a lifetime experience for our guests by recreating a special occasion from the past. The Royal Garden Party is this year's major fund raising event for the Palace, and affords a special opportunity for those who wish to support this unique historic landmark. Attendees are encouraged to contribute to the ambiance of the occasion by wearing attire that evokes the past. Guests will be serenaded by Hawaiian music as they stroll the garden, take part in genteel lawn games and enjoy an elegant supper under lantern-lit trees. There will be carriage rides, dancing by starlight, and a small but unique selection of auction items. "
WHAT! Not, like, our jobs. I'm talking about Molly Watanabe and myself. She has quit smoking and I have quit Kyle. Actually, I'm quitting all bad things. Why not? If she can quit sucking on those delicious stress relieving candy like sticks of pure bliss then why can't I quit everything bad EXCEPT for that. Smoking is just too hard right now. Let me work on my bad things first. Starting with my soul and working outwards. A choice. That's all it is really.
Moving on [forever] HEY! Tonight we're going out to the water park for the Twentyby3 Fashion Extravaganza. Don't not go. March of DIMES people. There's also going to be a lot of very hot clothing at very nice trunk-show prices. Get there. There's music and shows and and and. Well. I'm going anyway. It's from 7-9pm
...starting Saturday. Give back, people! Saturday morning, after Fashionista's Market, check out The Contemporary Museum's Art Spree. It's free but you can certainly donate like I do. The gift that keeps on giving! Last year was pretty fun. This year the schedule is even fuller... if that's possible. Don't not go!
I already told you about Ten's fundraiser for Quadmag.com for Saturday night. TEN dollars for TEN years of TEN and friends making Honolulu happen in terms of the internet. Don't not go.
SUNDAY there is the first ever ever like ever FRESH Benefit from 5 - 7 p.m. Benefit as in Dress for Success. FRESH as in food from Phuket Thai [yummy!] and some chain Chinese bistro type place AND a wine bar [gasp!] and shopping...this is all going to the folks at Dress for Success, which is a charity that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. KIND OF a big deal people. You already saved out a $10 spot for Ten's party... go ahead and tack on an extra $25 for Valerie Joseph's FRESH and there you go... a better world for all of us.
