A Piranha Room Christmas
|
BAD SANTA, BAD, BAD SANTA!: Ocean Club manager Dan
"Bad Santa" Punch dressed in character as the club's
monthly Piranha Room party went off on the last Saturday
night of the month as usual -- even though that meant the
party was on Christmas night. Bad Santa's helpers --
Alaine Akau, left, Colleen Lee and Rachel Graham -- had a
busy night behind the bar.

CONGRATULATIONS, SHARON!: Junior Mika and longtime
girlfriend Sharon Sanchez had more to celebrate on
Saturday than Christmas: She graduated from college last
week. Mika said that he wouldn't normally wear a
pink-and-white striped shirt, but the color combination
matched Sanchez's white sweater top and pink slacks.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS NIGHT: Piranha Room creator
Russell Tanoue, second from left, celebrated with guest
performers Jordan Segundo, left, Emi Hart and Shane Lani.
Segundo capped the Christmas-themed performances with his
spirited rendition of George Michael's seasonal hit, "Last
Christmas." The Piranha Room parties help fund Tanoue's
Project Shine.

MEN WITH HATS: Lance Rae, left, and Gerard Elmore
clowned around by the buffet table. Elmore, who got lots
of compliments on his choice of headwear, confessed that
it belonged to his brother and that he had "borrowed" it
for the party.

a tasteful hot-pink bustier,
white
lace sarong skirt and heels.

Santa-theme jacket covered a similar
high-fashion clubwear ensemble.
