Want to be on TV?
Check out "Model Search TV," a new entertainment show that seeks to put the spotlight on Hawai'i's professional models and gives exposure to young aspiring ones. They insist they'll take the camera straight into the middle of crowded places and shine light on potential models while also covering modeling events, contests, and fashion shows.
The show began almost three years ago in Seattle and moved to Honolulu in October 2002, operating on public access with Olelo Community Television.
"Model Search TV" moves to cable television and will air three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. on Oceanic Cable's channel 78, beginning tonight.
Segundo, DeLima star
What do Jordan Segundo and Frank DeLima have in common?
Jordan Segundo
Nothing, actually, but they'll share the spotlight as stars of the Lions Club of Honolulu's 26th Cavalcade of Stars, in two performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Aug. 30, in the Ronald E. Bright Theatre at Castle High School.
The cavalcade is geared to families, with a variety of entertainment planned. DeLima will emcee, and offer his irreverent wisecracks. Segundo, Hawai'i's "American Idol" finalist, will perform. There will be magic and dancing, and other acts.
Admission is free. Seniors, nursing-home residents and disabled people who can assemble groups of 15 from one pickup point will be provided free shuttle bus service to and from the event,if they get their requests in by Aug. 27. For tickets and bus service, call Dodee at 923-5973
Loving the language
The Bishop Museum Press recently reprinted two rare, century-old Hawaiian-language texts: "Ka Buke Mele o na Himeni Hawai'i" (The Lyric Book of Hawaiian Choral Songs) and "Buke 'Oihana Lapa'au me na 'Apu La'au Hawai'i" (Book of Medicinal Practices and Hawaiian Prescriptions).
The song book, originally published in 1897, is a collection of love ballads, tributes, playful mele and compositions sung in Hawai'i during the second half of the 19th century. The reprints cost less than $15 each and can be purchased at the Bishop Museum.
