I'm moderating an independent film screening Friday night in Kahala. Tickets are for sale at Consolidated Theatres Kahala 8 for The Big Bend.

This is its theatrical release, following a successful festival run that included three Best Picture awards and the Kau Ka Hoku Nomination.

CLONED WARNING. I'm told my Facebook Messenger has been cloned. I can't find it, but asked the person who figured this out, to report it. Please also report it if you are also getting fake messages from fake me. And just be aware that if the grammar sucks or someone needs money to get out of jail, it's not from me.

Olivia and I will be walking in the Celebrity & Pets Fashion Show 9/23!

THE CELEBRITIES AND THEIR PETS FASHION SHOW
AT THE YOUNG AT HEART EXPO ON SEPTEMBER 23

The Annual Celebrities and Their Pets Fashion Show will be a featured entertainment event at The Young at Heart Expo on Saturday, September 23 at The Blaisdell Exhibition Hall. The Expo will be held from 9:00 a.m. til 5:00 p.m. and the Celebrities and their pets or adoptable dogs and kittens will walk the runway at 12 Noon. The twist to this special event is that the Celebrities are not the ones wearing the fashions; the pets will be the ones dressed in designer outfits by Isle Style. Al Waterson will host this well-organized annual event and admission is free.

The purpose of this unique fashion show is to bring awareness to pet adoption and encourage volunteerism and fostering for dogs and cats.

The Celebrities will proudly carry their own pets or an adoptable dog or kitten on the runway and will show the audience how wonderful it is to have a pet as a member of your family.

This event has grown through the years to be a very popular attraction and we are excited to be a part of the highly-publicized Young at Heart Expo which attracts a large audience. We are happy to say that numerous dogs and kittens have been adopted by wonderful families after their participation in The Celebrities and Their Pets Fashion Show. We are grateful to the Celebrities who participate each year!

I'm a guest on a New Zealand podcast, Newsable NZ, affiliated with Stuff.co.nz. Everyone is asking about the Maui fires. The podcast drops tomorrow morning at 8 am.

Well, this is ironic, given my ex-husband is Danish. I'll be live on Denmark's TV2 in less than an hour to talk about the Lahaina fire. I've actually been to TV2.

Photog: You want anything?
Me: (agonizing) No.
Photog: You sure?
Me: ... yeah.
Photog: Really?
Me: I shouldn't. (*So much angst*) But OK. Order me fries, please.
(30 seconds later)
OK! I'm all poised to eat.

Photog: What? I thought you said you weren't hungry? I'd hate to see you when you actually are hungry?!
