Wow I'm so glad I found this thread. I'm a recent immigrant to HI from SF and been a user of http://www.yelp.com/ for many years. I found a fairly vibrant yelp community in HI and have been using it for its intended purpose. Mr. St. James has been fronting on the talk threads there for a long time and giving me a lot of crap. Now I find out not only is he a crooked white sleaze but possibly not even really from here. On there he acts like the expert of all things Hawaii and fills the talk threads with a lot of smug BS!

I encourage any of you interested in deflating that ego to join yelp.com and participate in the hawaii threads.

Regardless, I'm glad to know his true character.

Here's a taste

Kimo "Kameraman" K. says:

Had... a nice wardrobe. I hadda shop well. I had a limousine service in Cali back in da 80's. Did some modelling then. catwalk stuff. High end clients in the hills of beverly and Montecito. So had to know clothing and how to wear it well. got so I was a regular at ralph lauren's shop on Rodeo. Saw Tom Selleck there. maria Shriver. her hubby, Ahnold. the governator. Long before he knew the word politics. Drank next to him as the upstairs bar at Lauren's shop.

Loved Battaglia. Hermes. MCM.
used to meet clients at da Polo Lounge. fab place.
Drove them all, met them all. Martin Sheen. Burl Ives. Jim Messina from Logins and messina. Calvin Klein. Kathy Ireland. (regularly. I was her nautilus instructor before she made it big)
another lifetime ago.

He also talks pidgin a lot, but now I think he only speaks 'internet' pidgin after watching those youtube vids.

Anyway I just HAD to register to share. I'm not expecting a personal army. I'll leave you fine tikifolk to your business.
