RAISING THE LOVE: Justin Yoshino of Partymasters Hawaii, left, veteran emcee Kimo Kahoano and Alan Arato of Tom Moffatt Productions joined Miss Hawaii USA 2004 Justine Michioka at her "Raise the Love" fund-raiser for the Friends of Missing Child Center in the Esprit Lounge on Thursday. Dita Holifield and Ells Simeona provided early evening musical entertainment for the party and showed off Ells' sharp new look.
SPA TIME!: KITV News anchor Jill Kuramoto and "Big Beer Dave" Randall relaxed at Aveda Salon & Spa's first-anniversary party at Ala Moana on Thursday. Eileen M. Campbell and Frank B. Shaner were among the VIPs who received custom- mixed shampoo as party favors.
BRAVO!: Christópheren Nomura, left, Yali-Marie Williams, Suzanna Guzmán and Steven Condy were guests of honor at the backstage party that followed Hawaii Opera Theatre's opening of "Cosi Fan Tutte" in the Blaisdell Concert Hall on Friday. Nomura (Guglelmo) was a strong romantic lead, and Condy a powerful Don Alfonso. Guzmán (Despina) added light saucy comic content. An aria by Williams (Fiordiligi) was a highlight in Act II.
