i mean, really. is this a "look"?
maybe it's because i grew up in a place too hot to line one's sandal with FUR
and now i live somewhere too cold for sandals regardless of lining.
regardless, this shoe is beyond comprehension.
...and i kind of want a pair...
how is it that this 13 year old girl has a rocking blog?
i've never been nor will i ever be as cool as her.
And finally, this freaking SONG.
My hotel room this week has been situated just above the Waikiki Starlight Luau @ the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This has turned out to mean that every SINGLE night, people pay over $100 to sit on top of a parking garage, eat lau-lau and poi, and listen to traditional Hawaiian music while watching tanned + oiled hotel employees shimmy their way around their dinner tables. And the entire time, streams of the SAME FREAKING SONGS and the SAME FREAKING SCRIPT come blasting through perfectly situated loudspeakers. They penetrate my double-paned windows, relentlessly pile into my room, and so rudely interrupt whatever I'm trying to get accomplished at the time. What is arrogantly advertised as a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" has become ridiculously ingrained in my head to a point of involuntary twitching. This evening, I have caught myself narrating the show FROM MEMORY. Omg.
Despite it all, I still love the hukilau. And I have, on occasion, considered wearing a coconut bra as a form of breast support. Aloha!

1. I once had a pair of those horrendous flip flops that had that weird wiry astroturf-like material on the foot bed. It was oddly uncomfortable and though, grew to like it. The fur looks equally weird but I'm sure will be quite comfy. Just don't want to put these on with wet feet.
2. This blog boggles my mind. I cannot read her and cannot comprehend how she is only 13. I'm just happy she's that young so I'll never have to compare myself to her realistically.
3. Once went to a luau in Maui when i was 13, and the Hukilau is the only song from that I still remember. Thanks for bring back the memories?
4. If you were ever in choir in elementary school, you'll know that they tell you to mouth the word 'watermelon' if you ever forget the words so it looks like you're still singing along. There's a few kiddos on that boat singing the watermelon song, especially the girl at the back sitting next to Chip (or is it Dale?) with the wavy hair. Cutie!
5. yay, you're back!
How is that kid 13?! She's hilarious! I don't love fashion but I think I love her blog!
i love that little girls blog and almost wish i was as stylish as her, but then that would mean i'd be walking around with purple socks and i just don't think i could pull that one off. why didn't i try to be cooler when i was 13?
i am so unstylish that i don't even get that girls style. (i stick with the jeans, t-shirt and occasional fancy shoe.) and i agree with amanda - don't wear those flips with wet feet, ew.
Maybe if I didn't have to wear an ugly school uniform when I was 13 I would have developed a better fashion sense...yeah, I'm blaming poor fashion sense on 9 years of school uniforms!
amanda, i TOTALLY had astroturf-like material flip flops at one point on time, i have no recollection of why or where i got them, but they grew on me as well.
i was def.not as cool as this girl when i was 13. i want to BE her at 13
you crack me up because all i can picture in my mind is you crazily sitting alone in a hotel room performing an entire luau show. it is so befitting that i can't get it out of my head. :)
Ugg flips flops. The girls both have a pair and I secretly want a pair myself. We'll see how they fair with the wet sand. Probably not so great.
i don't know amanda, and i didn't own those wiry astroturfy flip flops, but i know someone that did in college and i remember them being sold in stores. my mom once bought me a pair of flip flop slippers... but they were too weird for me and i'd never have worn them so she returned them. and i can clearly picture you doing the whole program from memory. i think that might have driven me crazy! but then again, you do get to work in hawaii!!!!!
