This was the second time in my life a best friend had announced to me that they were sorry to tell me but they were suddenly moving to Hawaii. Oh hell, no. Bradley and I had developed a friendship which was way too pure for this goddamn world and its …weather. So I invited myself to visit him and his exceedingly blue-eyed boyfriend, Jonathan in their heavenly studio loft in Chinatown, Honolulu.
For 2 months.
They didn’t say no.
Friendship! We swam with sea turtles, rope-swung, hiked towering watertrickles, drank mai tais on premature afternoons, crashed infinity hot tubs at sunset, buoyed ourselves in the warm and silvering dusklit Pacific, and turned a bottle of wine and a dirty concrete slab overlooking moonlit freighters into our own personal loveseat… And we were so good-looking!
But mostly, we opened a vintage boutique (rather, Bradley and Jonathan opened it while I pretended to be right about everything), Barrio Vintage, a concept pop-up. What a dream! Leather, cashmere, Gucci, Dior, preposterous prices….
Quite literally speaking, it was paradise.
Then Rian Flynn came and shit got real:

Your very sexy in that outfit. Hawaii is amazing. Try Philippines too. But I suspected you already visited my country. Or are you a Filipina?
I love this style, especially outfit number 2. When I see all the pictures with the great weather I wish it could be summer in Europe now

These are some amazing photos to be sure! I am sure they will send more than one person to Hawaii, I know I certainly want to go more than ever after seeing these photos. The tourism department, not that they need any help, should thank you.
Chinatown in Hawaii is amazing. Such as great place for a photo shoot as these pictures attest to that fact. Sweet post, keep up the great work.
