Viva Glam at W
The W will be the site of the first MAC Viva Glam Night in Hawaii, a benefit for the Hawaii Aids Walk and Life Foundation.
The red-carpet event takes place 9 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. with pupus, guest deejays and raffle drawings all night long as MAC has donated thousands of dollars' worth of makeup. Flipside and Bamboo Sky will also be donating some of their top-selling merchandise for the raffle drawing.
A highlight will be the appearance of four male models wearing custom-designed white suits that guests will be invited to turn into a billboard for messages. These costumes will be traveling around the world to other VG events, passing your messages on to Japan, Paris and New York. Guests will also be welcome to take photographs with the models at $1 for a Polaroid including a Viva Glam pin souvenir.
Pre-sale tickets, at $20, are available at all MAC locations and at Flipside. Cover at the door will be $25. Funds raised will be matched by the MAC Aids Fund. MAC Cosmetics has raised more than $85 million for its AIDS Fund since 1994.

HCC show set
If you ever doubted the impact of Fashion Television and "Project Runway," Honolulu Community College's annual fashion show will be bigger than ever, with more than 130 original designs to be presented onstage at 12:30 p.m. April 28 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel Molokai Ballroom. The event will begin with boutique sales from 10:30 a.m. and lunch at 11.
The students have divided their show, "Cover Shot," into three categories -- "Aqua Diva," "Urban Euphoria" and "Reinvention" -- with an additional segment highlighting the work of senior class members.
Tickets are $32 per person, available by calling the HCC fashion department at 845-9203.
Meanwhile, the results are in on the students' paper dress showcase at Kahala Mall's Viva la Diva informal fashion show on March 24. The first-place winner was Meghan Matsumoto, whose green-and-blue paper creation featured a fitted fringe bodice and miniskirt with circular cuts inspired by a family Christmas ornament. All the garments were made using a variety of papers, such as doilies, tissue, paper towels and rice paper.
Matsumoto won a trip for two to San Francisco courtesy of Hawaiian Airlines. Second place was awarded to Melissa Li, and Kim Fukuzono-Kajiwara was the third-place winner.
The paper dresses will get an encore during the "Cover Shot" show.
