New VH07V Designs!
Thanks for posting your input on our latest poll for the next ladies racerback design. Based on the votes, we'll probably start with these three first. Which do you like da bes?
Wowzas! Third week in a row with double digit comments. Could it be that we've broken out of our new year funk? Hard to say, but let's keep it going gang! Here are three semi easy ones served up on a silver platter for ya.
Kelly Boy De Lima of Kapena "slayed" it (as usual) at the Ukulele Picnic this past Sunday, and, following his performance, walked by all the vendor booths, showing his Aloha, waving and greeting everyone on his way out. As he came by our VH07V booth, he pointed at my dad and said "I like your shirt!" so right dea... I just HAD to chase him down and give him a shirt for himself. He was as genuine and as real as they get. Not only talented and a true professional, but super humble and a class act. Mahalos Kelly Boy!
* Not counting what I sold at the Ukulele Picnic, I am finally fully loaded with stock, including the three new designs/styles below. Whatchu tink? She go?

How awesome is this!? This week's "Spotted" shot for VH07V is of Jesse Sapolu sporting his San Francisco 49ers inspired VH07V with local boy Isaac Sopoaga prior to this past Sunday's Super Bowl! Hard luck to Isaac and the Niners, but WOW what a game!
Sorry peeps, still trying to catch up with everything, so no "Where In Hawaii" post this week, but here's a sneak peek at Part I of my Aloha Brisbane series. Hope you enjoy it!
Traveling to Australia has always been a dream of mine. I mean, let's face it, they've got so many interesting and unique things going for them...
It was a whirlwind 3 day, 2-night tour, but we definitely got to experience Brisbane the only way Hawaiian Airlines knows how: with Aloha. Here are some of the sights and sounds that we were fortunate enough to experience.
