Team Edward vs. Team Jacob...

I'll admit when I first heard about the Twilight Phenomenon I was confused.. A movie about vampires and love? UGH, sounds terrible.. I had no interest... It wasn't until my own brother told me I had to watch it because he knew I would like it.. I gave in, watched it and understood what the hype was all about.. Some actors can just transform themselves completely off the red carpet and onto the big screen into exactly what the character calls for. I'm talking about Rob Pattison.. He was the actor that first got me hooked onto the saga.. Just his overall tensity on film is what is getting all the girls gooey eyed for the star.. I think it helps that he's sparkly in the sun too.. I'm JUST saying...

My friend Alyssa Fung owns Fashionista's Market (as I've probably said in previous posts) and for the last two Twilight movies, New Moon and Eclipse, rented out an entire theater of 500 seats and made a whole event for the movie. The event entails, a movie ticket, t-shirt which states which team you're in (Edward or Jacob), pupu's (appetizers for you mainlanders), contests, and goody bag!

Naturally, all my friends wanted to partake in the fun and make the t-shirts into dresses, rompers, anyway to wear it other than it's intended way of the standard t-shirt..

We had a little fun with the cardboard cutouts of Jacob (the werewolf) and Edward (the vampire):



Post movie poses.. I kept trying to look for the soundtrack information:


We love hanging out at the Fashionista's Market store where the cardboard cutouts were hiding before the movie event... We took advantage of this:


I was asked by Yu Shing Ting of MidWeek if I'd be interested in doing a movie review for Twilight's Eclipse and plug our show Hawaii HI-Lights... She put me in touch with Jessica Goolsby.. To see what me and Nicole had to say about the movie, check out our review on the online version of MidWeek, but you can still pick up a copy until the new edition comes out on Wednesday..

..Team Edward in case you didn't already know...

Fashionista's Market and Deuces Hawaii Fashion Show...

What a whirlwind of fabulous this weekend.. let's start with this past Thursday night.. Pearl Ultralounge transformed into All Dolled Up, which is geared toward girls to come out and try a new salon and get their hair, makeup, eyebrows waxed, massages, etc. all free and for a night of fun right on the dance floor! A friend of mine, Alyssa Fung, owns the fantastic Fashionista's Market; she had a fashion show to present some new finds from her latest buying trip to LA, so me and a bunch of my fabulous friends were models for the show.. She stocks her downtown Honolulu store with the latest designs from Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Romeo and Juliet, Collective Concepts, and many others that make me way happy to even think about. She showcased chunky jewelry, lacey tights, and lots of bows which made me want every outfit the models wore..

Marsha Nadalin Salon and Spa did our hair and makeup.. let's just say that I couldn't have been happier they were going for the Brigitte Bardot (Patton hehe!) big Texas sized hair..



Shoe company, Deuces Hawaii supplied the footwear for the evening.. can I please have one pair of each??


On stage pose!*

In case you were wondering what our fierce faces looked like.. look no further..
