Crosswalk subs
for catwalkDID ANYONE else notice the high concentration of models roaming the crosswalks of downtown Friday morning?
A dozen ladies from the Central Island Agency and More Models transformed the corner of King and Bishop Streets into a fashion runway to help promote the upcoming film "Legally Blonde 2," starring Reese Witherspoon.
1043 XME's Hawaiian Ryan and Tanisha were on hand to broadcast live from the area, and a dozen Chihuahuas accompanied the models as they crossed the street in clothes provided by Neiman Marcus ...
SATURDAY NIGHTS at Dave & Buster's continue to be a good choice for people looking for variety when they go out.

Local openers No Bare Feet turned in an entertaining set to start the show ...
AND THE start of a new month brings the opening of a new business that's worth a visit. Sushi Supreme opens today at 1150 Bishop St. and features all-you-can-eat sushi at lunch for $12.95 (includes Asian greens, miso soup and a bottomless drink). They offer the same deal at dinner for $20.95. After building a strong following with their catering business, it's good to see these guys moving on to bigger and better things ...
