Sing along with me...It's Aloha Friday, no work till Monday (Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!)
Here in Hawaii, Fridays are called Aloha Friday.
A colorful manifestation of the aloha spirit is the aloha shirt, a short-sleeved work of art distinguished by its bold print and worn untucked. Derived from the simple worker's shirt of a century ago, the aloha shirt became popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Frustrated that the shirt was not considered proper business attire, the Hawaii Fashion Guild in 1966 began a successful campaign to designate every Friday as "aloha Friday," a day to wear aloha shirts to work. Aloha Friday may have been the inspiration for the "casual Friday" instigated on the mainland a few decades later. Here are links for more information ~
There's an ongoing exhibit featuring current and vintage aloha wear and the world's largest aloha shirt at the Honolulu Hale now and it runs until June 29, 2006. Below are pictures from the exhibit!
and...I do mean Welcome! Selamat Datang! Aloha! I extend a warm welcome and am glad that you could stop by and read my blog. It simply contains general musings and ramblings about things that concern and/or interest me.
So kick back, click away and don't forget...enjoy your visit!
"So you want to know me? Romantic and logical ~ Loyal and always true ~ Funloving crazy and very quiet when needed ~
Sensible and down to earth...to sum it up, I guess I'm pretty much a "nice girl", hopefully in a good way, who's also a bit of a geek"
Here I am as perfect as I'm ever going to be.
You'll see, love me for me.
Stick around, I'm not the kind of girl you wanna leave.
You'll see, love me for me.
"With a birthday on the 5th of the month you are inclined to work well with people and enjoy them. You are talented and versatile, very good at presenting ideas. You may have a tendency to get itchy feet at times and need change and travel. You tend to be very progressive, imaginative and adaptable. Your mind is quick, clever and analytical. A restlessness in your nature may make you a bit impatient and easily bored with routine. You may have a tendency to shirk responsibility".
