Please send snapshots of you wearing the outfits you wish to model. We would like to present as many fashions as possible. The photographs do not have to be professional shots, just a full-length image that shows the lines and colors of each garment.

• DESIGNERS: We want retro-inspired clothing or accessories, the flashier the better. Please submit snapshots of your designs for consideration, as we will show a lot of styles. Plan on providing your own models for the event. ACCESSORY DESIGNERS/ARTISTS can pair their items with other outfits being modeled or you may also provide your own models.

Please write to us if you are interested, experience is a plus but not a must.

• WARDROBE MANAGER: Can you keep us organized? Keeping each model’s garments organized on the racks and dispensing the next outfit in the lineup is one of the main duties of the wardrobe manager. Please write to us if you’re interested, experience is a plus but not a must.

• DRESSERS: Male and female dressers are needed to assist models with their lightning fast changes during the show. Please write to us if you are interested, experience is a plus but not a must.

I'm receiving a lot of inquiries about positions in the show & am excited by the response. If you would like to be a model but do not have photos to submit at this time, please write to me and let me know about your interest in being a Hukilau model. You can send your pics later as long as they arrive before the April deadline. I want to make sure that everyone has a chance to be considered as a model.

Same goes for designers and vendors. I am happy to answer all of your questions about the fashion show and about how many ensembles you can feature in the Sarong-O-Rama.

Here's a taste of what you can expect during this year's Sarong-O-Rama fashion show! Watch guys and gals sashay vintage tiki/Polynesian clothing at this year's Hukilau! Be a part of the fun! Send us a photo of you wearing your fave tiki threads by April 18, 2010. Professional photos aren't required. Just a full-length image that shows the lines and colors of the garment that you would like to wear during the Sarong-O-Rama. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Sarong-O-Rama is definitley a highlight of the weekend. Here is a shot from 2008 as I search from some more.

It is with great pleasure that I am announcing our Stage Manager for the Sarong-O-Rama this year. This integral position is going to...(drum roll)...johnpingpong aka John Matheson!

Me and Tiki Bree are excited about this year's Sarong-O-Rama! Congrats, John (stage manager)! I look forward to meeting and working with you this year! We're also looking for men and women models, a wardrobe manager, dressers and professional makeup artists to volunteer their time for the fashion show!

I am so very proud of everybody who made this year's Sarong-O-Rama such a huge success. This fantastic presentation wouldn't have happened without each & every one of you.
Models, what can I say??? You WORKED it!!!
Vendors thank you for the beautiful merch.
John and Lono what would I have done without you? Mega thanx for keeping the show running smoothly.
Tristan, Thank you for your patience during all the hours I was at the computer working on the show (and sewing, you pin a mean hem) and thanks for the fantastic music & script.
David, we loved your sparkle at the podium.
Otto, thanks for your expert escort services.
Cosmix, Career College & Art Institute, the stylists & dressers were superb this year. And I must include Madame Madeline Eyelashes for donating our flirty lashes!!
My deepest thanks goes to Sandra for her untiring work in the months leading up to the show and during the production.

with love & pride,
Tiki Bree
