glass moustache takes kailua by storm

because really, ladies night should always include a glass moustache!

hood up stache up

electrical storms are so rare out here in hawaii, but lately it's been all thunder and lightening, waterspouting and hailing, tornado watching and flash flood warning, but don't worry. we decided to brave the elements and ladies night actually left the building to check out the kailua nightlife.
it was good!
i might even say crazy storms = crazy fun! fun seems like the word i am using the most these days...no complaints :)

Extra thanks to this random gentleman, Denise Hevicon, Sharon Suzuki, and always to Mabby McDiarmid for sharing the stache love!

Kailua's Next Top Model!!!

A special thank you to Marissa Mackay who lives in Kailua, originally from upstate New York! This girl has got it going on...

I am 100% in love with the straw fedora / glass moustache / haute look combination, so much in fact that the ball is now rolling for my first ever fashion photo shoot! Marissa mentioned that she modeled and might be interested in trading some shots for glass jewelry and suddenly the wheels start turning in my head...I sure do know some talented folks!
Thanks Marissa, for being such an inspiration. I will be in touch about this photo shoot soon.
And may I just say that the Lanikai Craft Faire was a wonderful success...and the cheeseburger from Kailua Pub afterwards was the best reward!

if you've ever lost faith in humanity, this blog post might restore it

every once in a while i come across a kind of magic with what i do, connecting with people about art, and witnessing as others connect too. it's the best!


Nora (pictured on the left) is such a sweet girl, who i met at the I Love Kailua Town Party where i was selling my artwork. it was a very busy day but i noticed her and her family because they seemed quite taken with my artwork. she absolutely adored the glass moustache!

Jan Drake (pictured on the right), a visitor from Seattle, was waiting patiently for my attention as i helped the adults who were with Nora to make their selections. can you believe that he bought her that moustache? and one for himself! what a generous and random act of kindness. her smile was from ear to ear and i felt so lucky to see two people grow from strangers into friends within a matter of minutes.

thank you Jan! your generous spirit just shines.

i call it BLUE STEEL

I'm thinking this is it, I made it...finally there is a local celebrity rockin the glass moustache!

Meet Steven Parker.

Not only is he doing a fabulous job as a male model as evidenced by the above photo, but he is in film too! You absolutely should not miss 'One Kine Day,' and if you don't believe me then check out the trailer here. Steven Parker that mustache you're sporting around 1:51 minutes in is to die for! I might have to hit pause and make a whole new design based on it.

In the meantime though Kailua people should get very excited starting now. The glass moustache is available right here in town! Steve's family owns an amazing shop right on Hamakua Drive, Lanikai Home + Style. They have a fabulous collection of everything I want so please keep this in mind if you want to buy me presents. Oh and probably you might like it too :)

FYI, just updated my website with two other new galleries...
Ann Arbor Art Center Gallery Shop in Michigan and Pele Signatures in Waikiki.
Look out, world!
