Hau’oli la hanau is Hawaiian for Happy Birthday.

In the islands the big day is call for a luau, or a potluck buffet, where the whole ohana and extended friends and family hele over for the Kailua pork and trimmings.

Leis are bestowed, pressies made and given. Meles are sung. And everyone makes and takes plate, or the left-overs, with them.

Today is Kikidoll’s friend CC’s birthday.  Let’s celebrate. Pass the Mai Tais!  It’s gonna be a rockin’ night.

Last week, on neighbor island Maui, Letarte Swimwear celebrated its 10 year birthday with stylish liliko’i Cosmos and pupu. Congratulations to another local swimwear company with such a strong showing in Sports Illustrated Swim.

Next week another milestone, another birthday for gorgeous beach girl Kalena.  Let’s go party, girls, in our designer swimwear bikinis!
