She was the one with the fabulous Hawaiiana and the great big smile!!!! Annette was also the high bidder for Bamboo Ben's sensational tiki bar commemorating Hukilau (hey Ben, am I still on your list???). I got to know Ms. Hula Hula at one of her antique shows last year at the Gulfport Casino. I was so impressed that I had to participate. The casino is incredibly cool with its deco facade and pier foundation, and Gulfport is "the town that time forgot." Please say "Hi!" if any of you sweet TC-ers come by......
