Hawaii “Polaroids”

As they appear in this slideshow:

1. What’s Hawaii without Elvis? Inside Bailey’s Antiques and Aloha Shirts. At Bailey’s, you can buy, among other things, a pale yellow aloha shirt with a ukulele on the back for a mere 3000 dollars.
2. On Kalakaua, Duke Kahanamoku perpetually raises your faded leis like an offering to the high rise hotels of Waikiki.
3. The educated person’s source for Hawaiiana and history, Tin Can Mailman. The vintage aloha and swimwear ads alone are worth the visit.
4. Ladies with leis in the “Boat Days” collection of photos documenting the golden age of cruise ship arrival to Waikiki. In the hallway of the Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk.
5. My white ginger and yellow plumeria leis, in the hands of Princess Ka’iulani, in condolence for that crappy movie. Sorry, your highness, you deserved better.
6. The second in a series of ambulatory wedding cakes, also known as Japanese brides, in the lobby of the Moana Surfrider.
