Here I thought Windward Mall was on its way to financial solvency, beating its reputation as a financial deathtrap. The renovation plans to go upscale are done, and new tenants have occupied empty spaces. Heck, a brand new Aeropostale is on the premises.
But just when things are looking up, this travesty happens!
And the bad news of the Footlocker closure is announced and delivered by an email no less!
So the new Calvin Klein billboard is causing a stir in New York, but is this gigantic Victoria’s Secrets poster any less racy?
This image facades the construction site of the new Victoria’s Secrets at Ala Moana. Anyways, this location is now hiring.
It was one month ago and the Disney Store at Ala Moana was under construction. Now, the new location is open for business.
It’s quite a bit smaller than the previous location taking over the former location of Sharper Image.
Who knew Lakers Kobe Bryant was a local boy at heart?
Must be all those Lakers training sessions in Hawaii.
Thanks to @valdezign for the tip.
Now in stores, new soda from Mountain Dew and Aloha Maid?!
Mountain Dew’s Game Fuel Horde Red and Alliance Blue are now in Hawaii. Here’s a review of Horde Red from Bevreview.com.
I didn’t know popular juice maker, Aloha Maid, produces soda as well. Iced tea and guava soda? Umm, I’ll pass.
Congratulations to Natalie Ai Kamauu for winning best female artist at the 2009 Na Hoku Hanohano awards.
She must have gotten a boost from all the texting/tweeting fans at her table. 😉
You can sample Natalie’s music on her MySpace music page.
Men and their toys are going to get a boost when the new Lego store opens at Ala Moana on July 29. Hawaii reportedly has a big Lego fan base represented by the Lego Enthusiasts Association of Hawaii (LEAHI), hence the logical choice of opening a Honolulu location.
On August 15, the first 300 customers who spend $35 at the store will receive a special Lego set of a humuhumunukunukuapua’a and coral. That’s definitely a collector’s item!
I got to check this store out and perhaps, bring in some of my vintage stuff.
Thanks to @hawaii for the picture.
So you thought the Inside 939 question and answer sessions were done? Not quite. Here’s a question that came in via Twitter asking about the salaries of go-go dancers. Just for some background, but Club 939 at times has changed their venue into a night club.
I want to know how much go-go dancers get paid. I’m seriously in the wrong profession. Heh.
The response:
Easy answer is… Depends. There seems to be two tiers of Gogo dancers. If they are ‘established’ then they usually won’t dance for less than $100-150. Established means they have been dancing at big clubs (pipeline, level 4, w, etc) as house gogos, ie every week.
The second tier is girls who are newer and unproven and will dance for $50-$100. Usually younger.
The established gogos do a much better job of promoting their events and actually have a fan base. So some promoters prefer these girls.
Other promoters will use cheaper girls because the promoters can’t get the established girls or can’t afford them.
If u need to get in touch with any gogos let me know- I know pretty much all of them.
Case closed.
With the announcement of the new iPhone 3GS, I had to take a stroll down memory lane and reminisce the day I bought my iPhone 3G, 11 months ago!
Come with me back to July 11, 2008 as I waited outside the Windward AT&T store under sunshine and drizzle to become part of the iPhone ohana.
Kanye West designed Air Yeezy’s came out with a new colorway today, and like that, they were gone. Kicks Hawaii was fortunate to have 15 pairs of the Yeezy’s, and kick fiends waited in line since Wednesday to cop a pair for $300. No, I wasn’t in line to get one of only 3000 Yeezys made.
Watch the KGMB9 coverage of the Air Yeezy release.
