busted!

on june 17th, a bust of jack lord was unveiled at the kahala mall, apparently put there because he liked to take a daily constitutional around the mall, maybe picked up a free sample at see's candies and said hello to the purdy wahines.

i wasn't able to go, but i heard the university of hawaii marching band played the theme song (my first recital piece!), and a special hula was commissioned. (by the way, you can find the 40-pound head near the entrance of macy's)

mr. lord used to come to guam in the seventies, sometimes bringing his vast jade collection to show to the public. i saw him once when i was a kid, wearing a delicate cotton caftan, and looking well-coiffed. my jewelry teacher in university saw him once wearing a burgundy velvet pimp suit and a matching fedora.

way to go, steve-o! next time i'm at macy's i'll stop and say aloha.
