Happy Birthday X 3!
BIRTHDAY GIRLS: It was like old times at the Hawaiian Hut as Donna Chun, left, Leslie Takata and Stephanie L.C. Ching celebrated with a couple hundred of their closest friends on Saturday. The three have been friends since Chun and Ching met during the 1999 Miss Chinatown pageant, and Ching introduced Chun to Takata. None of them were born on Oct. 18, but they're all "fall babies" and picked a midseason date.
THERAPY, PLEASE?: Los Angeles resident Raymond Noh attended with an arm in a cast. A thoroughbred horse he'd been training kicked him. With occupational therapist Brooke Nakamura on his other arm, Noh said it was "kinda cool" to be back at a local party.
THE FASHIONISTA CHECKS IN: Fashionista Danny Munoz dropped by to congratulate birthday girls Leslie Takata, left, Stephanie L.C. Ching and Donna Chun after the party got rolling. Other friends and well-wishers included Alan Arato, representing the Tom Moffatt organization, Joanne Subiaga, Sean McCully, Sharene Fujimoto and Sheila Chimel, a James Ingram fan, who believes in "working and partying full time."
