Your mile – four minutes.
Your breakfast – a perfect three-minute egg.

You move fast. So sometimes 200 words, even in an unbelievably clever and witty article, is just a little too much.

To help you get back up to speed, here is a synopsis of the Lei Chics you may have missed this month – accidentally of course.

Safari Leader: Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the urban jungle.

Today we are searching for one of the city’s most common but elusive creatures - The Homeo and Cars Keyus. These metal critters usually travel in packs, often in a ring formation, and are known for their jagged teeth, jangling noise, and their ability to disappear without warning.

Many natives spend hours every day tracking down the cagey Keyus, fishing into seemingly bottomless hobo bags or hunting through the wild clutter of city homes.

Dear Teeny Bikini,

You know I never wanted to get tied down. Sure we had great times this summer with playtimes on the sand, lazy lunches and sunset cruises. But lately, I’ve gotten tired of your lines – the white tan lines criss crossing my back and creeping up my neck.

Earhart has Landed
What: Lost aviator Amelia Earhart's time in the islands is captured in a new photo exhibit at the Pacific Aviation Museum. The 40 photographs were taken as publicity stills when she spent a few weeks in the islands in 1934, then touched down for three days in 1937 before disappearing during her round-the-world flight.  Matson had it stashed away until just recently and now you can take a look. 
When: The exhibit opens tomorrow with... Read more »

Don’t deny it. We saw it. Your windows were rolled up, but we’re pretty you had a little Monica in your life as you rocked out to Mambo Number 5 in your car.

We could be mistaken – it was hard to hear anything through our own dance mix of Party in the USA.

Bad pop music is a great guilty pleasure when you’re alone. But when you party, you need to kick it a little old cool. We asked... Read more »

Shop
A Piece of Cupcake
What: The Ward Warehouse location closed, but this weekend Cupcake Boutique sets up shop in Waikiki.
