Kakau from Kaua'i, O'ahu

Local surfer. His smile. His spirit. Kicking it with his little bro. The Kakau on his arm is a sleeve; goes all the way around. Mean.

More Tees, O'ahu

Aroha in Hawai'i, O'ahu

Competed at the Tahitian Fete in SLC, UT. She's a runner up for Ms. Teen Colorado and will be competing in Dec. for Ms. Teen USA. Let's send lots of good energy her way. (and check out her earpiece)!

Pretty awesome.

Fete Instructor, SLC

She's a pasifik designer too! Cannot wait to display her designs on this site!

Cutest 15yr. old, SLC

What my nephew lacks in pasifik style, he makes up for in dimples.

A Match Made In Heaven

I just decided that "Pasifik Zen" and "A Find in Aotearoa" should consider hooking up.

What do you all think???


Otherwise, still at a conference with no equipment to post. Pics as well as a summary of the "emotion of water" will come asap.

In the meantime, can you see any other matches?

Arohanui.

Blog Action Day, the u.s. continent

It's the 16th of October and I missed Blog Action Day. On October 15th, bloggers around the web united to blog about single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. I'm late posting. Although not intentional, I believe I was meant to forget until this very moment. I just left a lecture on the power of water. More details tonight.

From head to toe. Brilliant.

A Wonder, O'ahu

"Do you mind if I tell your age on the blog?"

"I don't mind at all!"

She is (deep breath) 73 years old. Fabulous Hawaiian/Tongan who raised five children and practices martial arts. She's a beautiful wonder.

Maori Kid, O'ahu

Retro Vans with Maui fish hook. His style is awesome.

Peace. Love. Tatau.

Contemporary Maori Woman, O'ahu

Renowned poet and artist. She's in a class all her own. This is mana.

Asia Unplugged, O'ahu

Rainy, cloudy day on the island. Scouting the local grocery store. Almost gave up. Went to the check out stand and she walks in. Bone dry with no umbrella. Fabulous.

Young Woman from Tonga, O'ahu

Modest. Tongan. Beautiful.

Feel Free to look at the month of SEPTEMBER!

The two photos in September did not get enough exposure! Those pics are two of my favorite.
Check them out. You'll be inspired.

Going Places, O'ahu

Riding by and had to stop her. That's a Roots bag. Love it.
Love the beads, love the flats, love it all.

Off to Work, O'ahu

Caught up with him. So nice. Note the Honu pendant.

Love this student. Similar hue, some pasifika patterns. Fusion Galore!

Male Perspective, O'ahu

Tupenu. Casual school wear.

The Isles Are Drenched

So much rain today. Even more clouds. I'm going for groceries tonight . . . I'm certain there will be a find.

On a Saturday Afternoon, O'ahu

Pretty, petite, and strong. She loves the aqua, loves the surf.

On a Saturday Afternoon, O'ahu

You may be thinking "Halloween theme" but think again. It's a Bird of Paradise-modified. Note the honu print bracelet.
