Kahiki, Marion?s Tiki Celebration, is Back
For Immediate Release:(ContentDesk) July 29, 2005 -- The leis are back along with our famous Pu-pu platters, exotic drinks and Asian Pacific influenced dishes. Of course Marion's will be decorated to the rafters with a colorful and flowery display that we'll call ?tasteful tiki'.Right smack in the middle of Kahiki, The World Famous Pontani Sisters will be performing on Friday, August 26th. The Pontani Sisters are known for their glamorous Las Vegas style showgirl dance numbers with a downtown twist. They have been performing at Marion's regularly for close to five years.Marion's annual celebration has an interesting reference. Marion Nagy, the original Marion, and her husband Harry were flying to Los Angeles to attend Harry's brother's wedding at then baseball star, Sandy Kovac's house.
It was in the early 1960s and their plane got diverted to Columbus, Ohio. Well, to make a long story short, they met friends there who took them to the newly opened million dollar Polynesian extravaganza, Kahiki.There were the ?Mystery girls" serving volcano drinks and classic Polynesian fare. Marion and Harry had a hoot of time. Unfortunately, the Kahiki was torn down a couple of years ago and is now a Walgreen's. Marion's son, Richard Bach, remembering the story, went to the original Kahiki with his partner in the restaurant, Michael Howett, and they agreed that Kahiki needed to be at Marion's.
That is how the tradition started.Kahiki at Marion's is a fun filled event. The staff is dressed in Hawaiian shirts, sarongs and grass skirts. The bartenders create tasty summer cocktails like ?The Volcano' think L.I. Ice tea gone exotic, ?Hawaiian Punch' and the 'Sex Trip to S.E. Asia' a mango cosmopolitan.
On the menu, the Pu-pu platters are piled with delights like hoisin rubbed ribs, spring rolls, vegetable dumplings and coconut shrimp. Entrees spotlight classic and modern Asian infused creations. Mahi-mahi with assorted tropical fruit chutneys, Five Spiced Filet Mignon skewers and Roasted Pig with green apple and pineapple salsa.Desserts will take you over the top. Caramelized Banana Tartlets, Fresh Strawberry ?Soup" with lime, ginger and mint sorbet and ?Oh my Goddess!' a chocolate cappuccino pot au cr?me with a whiskey granite.

Tiffany Celebrates 150 Years of Stylish Jewellery
Copyright 2006 Tatstar
You've seen the images of Audrey Hepburn in Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's, epitomising diamond allure and American chic. Well, Tiffany's stylish jewellery has stood the test of changing times and this year celebrates 150 years of its journey through jewellery design and craftsmanship with a special exhibition at Somerset House.
From the early 1830s, Tiffany's had a humble existence as a souvenir and fancy goods store. In one its first catalogues, the range of French jewellery was tucked behind a host of goods; fine stationery, French perfumes and French sugar plums.
Right from the very start, Tiffany's creator, Charles Lewis Tiffany was an innovator not just in jewellery design but the way it was sold and made sure that there was something for everyone, whether it was a parasol for $10 or a diamond brooch for $1000. Tiffanys started off keeping it simple; silver jewellery in understated styles.
By the 1830s,...

Plaid Skirts
The old phrase 'Mad about Plaid' seems to sum up the fashion forecast for this upcoming season. It seems plaid skirts are here to stay. In fact, it is quite interesting to observe how plaid hovers lightly over emerging trends season after season without losing its identity. What is it about this perennial style that gives it such resilience? Most women chalk it up to its versatility. Plaid skirts can be dressed either up or down, making them a valuable wardrobe staple.
Plaid is a classic pattern with a wide scope for incessant variations. While hip clubbers choose to accessorize dark-hued plaid skirts with studded belts or lace-up stilettos, the preppy chick prefers to team flirty, pleated plaid skirts-often in vibrant combinations with sneakers or basic pumps, a pair of matching tights and perhaps a brightly colored Polo shirt. These patterned pieces call out for the season's winning hues-teal, purple, pink, electric blue, orange and moss green-most often mixed...

Luau! Decorating with a Hawaiian Theme
Hawaii is a first choice travel destination with millions of people - and for good reason. Bring a little of that island feeling into your home, either indoors or in your outdoor living space. You can apply this theme to an elegant dinner party, a fun and funky luau, or anything in between. 1. First, look at the space itself, including floors, walls, roof or ceiling.
TextureThink natural materials. Try bamboo matting on the floor. It's fairly inexpensive, very durable and easy on the feet. For a roof or large patio umbrella, consider palm leaf thatch. ColorChoose rich vibrant colors inspired by island vegetation: hibiscus red, bird of paradise orange or palm tree green.
Use pineapple and mango colored accents. Bright navy or marine blue makes an effective background. 2. Next, add the furniture. Again, natural materials are best.
For example, raffia table skirts and rattan or bamboo furniture are a fast way to create that island atmosphere. If you're using indoor...

Russian cyber-romance seem too good to be true? Ten clues: You could be the target of a scam.
October 2, 2004 - A quick investigation revealed hundreds of American and Canadian men being scammed by this similartechnique.
An initial search revealed that this woman was on a Russian 'flower shop' blacklist as havingprovided a phony address to her suitors.
Further searches led to literally hundreds of similar stories where men had been seriously hooked, sending money for visas, airfare, a parent's operation... yet never ending up meeting their young foreign goddesses.Wading through pages of reports from hundreds of marked men, I began to wonder if Eastern European women were all scamming us lonely guys in North America.That is certainly not the case, in fact just the opposite is true.
I read many reports of happily married intercontinental couples.
I have a close friend who is married to a wonderful Ukrainian woman whom he met while doing a photo shoot there.
In fact, I consulted with both of them after receiving only a couple of e-mailed...
