It's as if to say, you people that actually work here are too ugly and fat for our glamourous mag....step aside for a moment while we fake it here with our beautiful people stand-ins.......i felt bad for the employees there. I guess on the upside hala kahiki will get more city business, but on the downside....it's gonna be all squares and pseudo hipsters...just the type of folk that crap up a good bar..... the magazine article comes out mid july...
