O-H-A-N-A!

I'm finally able to sit down and share some photos of the fun we had at Ohana: Luau at the Lake at The Tiki Resort in Lake George, NY.

I'll put this warning right here....lots of photos!

We arrived Friday, checked in, got settled into our hotel rooms and changed into our Tiki attire. We did the traditional 'take photos of everything around the grounds', before the first room crawl of the evening.

Julie Ann and myself

Andrew, Julie Ann, (moai)myself and Derek. We're all holding a mai tai...naturally.

Hahahaha!!!

Derek found a his twin! Hehehe!

We retired back to our room for more cocktails. Julie Ann snapped this photo and you can 

see the pattern of my barkcloth wrap dress.

And then we went poolside to listen to some bands and hang out. Julie Ann's dress is awesome!

And the room crawls happened *cough...drunk..cough*

(view from our room)

Saturday morning I woke up slightly hungover, but refreshed and ready for a giant breakfast.

Saturday's outfit. 

Derek's directional senses are correct, breakfast was that way. Hahaha!

I never quite realized how awesome the glass windows on the side of the hotel  were until this trip!

Derek gifted me with some items from Fancy Fruits, like this hair clip. 

The vendor tent was the next on the agenda. We had been saving our loose change (literally), so we could blow it all on Tiki art, mugs, etc. Like purchasing a ceramic piece from Greg Rebis!

Gus from Zombie Oasis. We didn't get any of his amazing carvings, but a custom piece was discussed.

*Wink wink*

Gus and the oh-so-lovely Steph

Then we grilled lunch. Andrew was the SPAM grill master.

Made another drink. 

And watched Jim's band, The Men is Grey Suits....which they were in shorts for the luau. Hehe!

Then is it was luau dinner time! The rest of the night was a blur with drinks, friends and fun.

Sunday was a recovery day, then we packed up shop (we still had booze left over!?) and made the six hour trip home. 

Our plunderings!

Shrunken Head Circle Skirt

I'm finally getting a chance to wear and talk about the Shrunken Head Circle Skirt by The Oblong Box Shop which I wore during my trip to NYC. Though I still like the skirt, I've had some issues arise after washing it.

The polyester threads pulled out of the skirt! I have never had a polyester garment do this and I took great care while washing. I always wash on cold/delicate cycle and I never put anything like this skirt in the dryer. Machine's can do unruly things to garments, so I'm not blaming the company. I am just bummed, but it's not going to stop me from wearing the skirt.

Alright, enough of that. Let's get to the fun part of this blog!

Playing in the wind!!!

It's been so windy here in Buffalo, so I'm just going to (as Tim Gunn would say) "Make it work!". Weeee!!
