#PrayForBoston
What happened on Monday in Boston is sad and angering. It goes without saying. I really hope they find and punish the person/people involved with this terrible, terrible act. Please help me pray for those families going through hurt and loss right now…

Blogger turned “Actress” Cat Toth?
I recently solicited friend and former Advertiser blogger Cat Toth to be in a future Oceanic Time Warner Cable commercial spot so look for that in the coming weeks. It was fun. Sistah always cracks me up. Here’s a group shot from that day.
Visit VH07V at SPAM Jam next week! VH07V has been selected as one of only 10 crafters to get into this year’s SPAM Jam festival in Waikiki taking place NEXT WEEK (Saturday, April 27 @ 4pm-10pm). Come on down and visit us at da booth k?
VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot features Melissa back when she lived in Chicago. Buy the Black/Blue VH07V colorway she’s wearing here: shop.vh07v.com.
Halfway through January folks. How’s da new year treating you? Good I hope! For me, it’s been shmall kine hectic, but always fun to interact with you guys here. Well, whoever is left these days at least. LOL! Much mahalos for continuing to read after all these years and being so supportive of everything! Here’s this week’s pics!
This week’s “Spotted” shot for VH07V is a random one of Bruddah Travis. Not quite sure what he’s doing, but all that matters is that he’s wearing his VH07V tee right? 😛
* HUGE re-fill order has been placed (the holidays wiped me out)! Hopefully it doesn’t take too long to get re-stocked.
* All order processing and fulfillment for online orders is now going completely through a professional fulfillment house. Thankful to get that load off my chest because I was getting a little burnt out from staying at storage til the wee hours of the night pulling orders. LOL!
* Also working on new styles like a wicker type polo, new styles for women, and new designs. I have at least two ready to go to print and a bunch of concepts in the works (see below).
Our friends’ cat Hachi is still missing! 😦 PLEASE HELP! He has been missing for 20 days now and I need your help finding him. Please Share this blog with all of your Mililani friends so that we can bring him safely home to his owners. Here’s a personal note from them:
Our cat Hachi, has been missing since December 27th. We recently moved back to the Mililani Uka area and we think that he might have gotten disoriented. He is 4 years old, black and white with a pink nose, and is medium/large (14 lbs) in size. His back is more black than white. If he is seen, please text or call 808-542-9385 or 808-469-6960.
The folks at Hawaii Self Storage are back with another exciting storage auction, this time at their Kapolei West location (2009 Lauwiliwili Street). The action starts at 10am on Tuesday, January 22 with registration at 9am. For more information, please call 808-682-0333!
Chad contacted me (VH07V) through Instagram complimenting the brand. We chatted a bit through email and I eventually asked for his address so that I could send him some apparel as a Mahalo! He was nothing but nice with CHOKE aloha so it makes me soooooo happy that all this success is coming to him. I wish I could take credit for his success this season (like the “power of VH07V” gave him good luck or something… LOL!), but it was all him! Hard work pays off!
Here he is supporting VH07V during a press conference earlier this season.
I’ll likely miss posting this Wednesday’s “Where in Hawaii” blog, but there will still be posts galore being made during the two night trip to Queensland. If you’re interested, you can follow along with all the Brisbane merriment through the following links. Rumor has it that Melissa Chang and Catherine Toth will be going on this trip as well! Awesomeness!

The following photo is not exactly in Brisbane, but it’s at the nearby Tangalooma Resort. I figgah it’s 1) close enough and 2) a good excuse for another eye candy shot. 😛
This week’s “Spotted” shot for VH07V features a nicely edited video from the fellas at 130 Plus 0. They documented what it took for all of us to come together at this year’s Rice Fest to break the Guinness World Record for the “The World’s Largest Spam Musubi“! You’ll see VH07V sprinkled throughout since we were the official clothing sponsor of the event.
Guinness World Record for “World’s Largest SPAM Musubi”
* Yay! We finally broke 1,000 Likes for VH07V on Facebook! Not bad for just 6 months of being in business (if I do say so myself! 😛 )… As such, we drew the name for our $100 Shopping Spree contest and and randomly selected San Diego personal trainer Palani Mak! Congrats Bruddah Palani.
