Art says he's going to start charging me for post ideas when I run dry. Therefore, I'm giving him full credit for this one:One of the big news around Hawaii is the new American Doll of the Year (aside from President Obama enjoying shave ice on the other side of the island). Her name is Kanani and she is supposed to be from Hawaii.
I don't know.
Art says she looks more like a California girl than a Hawaiian girl. I guess I envisioned a Hawaiian doll to look more like this doll I found on YouTube.
Still, I keep in mind that my nephews all look like California dudes if you saw them since they're half Irish on their mother's side. However, they are born and raised in Hawaii. My nephew, Shawn on the right is a professional entertainer in Waikiki (mainland and Japan as well) and sings beautiful Hawaiian songs while playing the ukulele or guitar.
Still, I think I would have liked the Hawaiian American doll to have looked a bit more like a native Hawaiian with black hair and brown eyes rather than light brown hair and hazel eyes.
But that's just me. (umm... and Art, too.)
