Are you ready for UNIQLO in full effect? Airism and Hawaii-exclusive LifeWear!
eBay Peeve: Real?
Okay, not an eBay tip but a pet peeve. Just how are you supposed to answer questions asking if your items for sale are real or authentic? Um, yes… What kind of question is that? If fake, would I admit to that? And how am I supposed to determine the authenticity either? Yeah, I’ve been around the kicks game for awhile but I’ve never seen every shoe model.
So is this Under Armour Curry 1 “Candy Reign” All Star edition legit?
Simulated Funfire
I guess street signs like this don’t faze residents who live near frequent Hawaii Five-O filming sites.
So it’s not surprising when I drove by and saw (real) police monitoring as set workers walked around with pistols.
BAIT in Hawaii
Didn’t even know BAIT was considering coming to Hawaii, but the apparel and footwear retailer is open on Oahu. I haven’t been there and don’t know the parking situation, but they are at 1500 S. King St.
Bonus – they have the Yeezy Wave Runners available (for now).
A Secret Source for Madagascar Bourbon
So aparently there’s a global shortage of Madagascar Bourbon aka Vanilla Extract. Because of this scarity, price is exceptionally high at the stores. But… next time you’re shopping, check out the clearance, price-reduced section. You may score yourself some cheap but still good Madagascar Bourbon.
Smeg Dolce & Gabbana Toaster
While walking around Williams Sonama, I came across this Smeg toaster featuring visual designs by Dolce & Gabbana. Truly an eye catcher from the Sicily Is My Love collection, but then I saw the price tag of $650. $650 for a two-slice toaster!
Okay, okay, the slots are extra-wide, and at 12″x7″x7″, this appliance is big so that $650 is well justified. Although a WordPress blog theme based on the Sicily Is My Love collection would be kinda cool.
Hello Kitty-man
Can’t get any more Asian than this – Kikkoman soy sauce in a Hello Kitty themed bottle!
Get your Kitty x Kikkoman collab at a local Longs/CVS. Be sure they check the backstock too.
Ross Windward Mall…Almost
The forthcoming Ross location in Windward Mall, Kaneohe is seemingly almost ready to go. The signage is up, and the receiving area in the back is ready.
Once open, this location will complete the Thanos-like collection of Infinity Gems aka Ross Stores in the major Oahu shopping venues of:
Pearlridge- Waikiki
- Ward
- Kahala
- Ala Moana
- Windward Mall
From Lane to Lovesick
Fortunately for those on Oahu, Hurricane Lane spared this island from significant harm. But what Lane did provide was extra time. After preparing for the worst, what’s one to do? Watch Netflix is what, and that’s where Lovesick comes in.
A great three-season romantic comedy about the lives of Dylan, Evie, and Luke, oh and chlamydia. This show about love is simply great and the episodes just go by too easily. One season done then two and finally the third is binged.
You gotta watch then hope for a fourth season.
AT&T Assistance During Hurricane Lane
Got this text message from AT&T informing customers that the company is not charging overage fees for impacted areas of Hawaii.
According to att.com/hurricanelane, AT&T mobile customers have access to unlimited talk, text, and data from August 24-28. This applies to all AT&T wireless customers with billing addresses in the state of Hawaii.
Thanks AT&T! And I gotta say their Disaster Preparation page is very informative letting customers know what actions AT&T has taken and what customers can do for themselves. I just hope AT&T won’t have to activate their National Disaster Recovery program for us.
No Trash Pickup Due to Lane
J
ust had to double check, but yes, regularly scheduled trash pickup for today (Friday) has been cancelled due to Hurricane Lane. The Opala web site provides more details.
The challenge is dealing with one more week of trash while waiting a week until the next pickup.
Mamba Day and Hurricane Lane
Wait… Just when is Mamba Day? Supposedly it’s tomorrow, Friday, August 24 that marks the release of the new Kobe A.D. But then again, the Internet says Mamba Day is April 13 (the date of Kobe’s last game).
In any case, the Kobe A.D. release will probably coincide with the Oahu landfall of Hurricane Lane. While I personally like this new design and all the potential color combinations possible with the shoe’s components, I’ll have to pass (for now).
But if I try them on and they actually fit well then I may have found my next badminton court shoes.
