MAKENA on cover of the LN, Lesbian News! ~READ IT HERE~ TO BUY MAKENA'S CD, VISIT ~HOT STUFF~ Celebrating 28years serving the community, offering Funny, Loving & Exotic Gifts & Greetings

Watch MAKENA (pronounced mah-keh-nah) in concert on Logo, the latest network from MTV! MAKENA stars in "L.A. Women's Fest," a concert documentary premiering Thursday, 1/25/07, at 8:00 p.m. Pacific! To see the 90 min. TV special featured on the Logo website click here.

MAKENA is the acoustic partnership of two girls born and raised in Hawaii, who took a chance on "the mainland" 5 years ago, and are now beginning to see it pay off.

Their homemade recordings and growing name caught the attention of Grammy-winning label (Best Hawaiian Album, 2006), which signed them to a record deal in mid-2006; their first album with the label is self-titled. As a featured act at L.A. Women's Fest in Hollywood, they star in a special on LOGO TV, the latest MTV network, premiering 1/25/07 at 8:00pm Pacific; and, MAKENA was also one of five acts from around the nation chosen for The '06 Emerging Artist Showcase presented by Olivia, the premier vacation company for women.

MAKENA means "abundance" in Hawaiian, and it's the reason Siena Lee & Toast Tajiri chose it as their name. Nurturing an outlook and energy that is optimistic, yet realistic, compassionate, and respectful of humanity's collective deeper wisdom, is their main hallmark in both music and on their podcast. The Girl Meets Girl podcast is where Siena & Toast have fun talking about their experiences and lessons learned as indie music artists, helping animals, being Asian-Pacific-Islanders, and the occasional rant or amusing observation on social/cultural issues.

Siena & Toast focus on gentle harmonies in their music and relationship. Concerts4Cats is their labor of love helping abandoned adult and senior cats in need of medical care. MAKENA is sponsored by Sam Ash Music. Visit them at MAKENAmusic.com. Visit them at www.MAKENAmusic.com

Review of SECRETS KEPT sent to me by a celebrity. Respectful to her privacy, I will not name drop or give out her information. If you have SECRETS KEPT, share it with your friends. I like reviews from my fans. DON'T ASK ME TO SEND 'SECRETS KEPT' TO YOU BECAUSE I CAN'T.

Chau,
I've started reading SECRETS KEPT and I can't put it down until I got to the end. Your dialogues are incredible. The scenes are frightening. The love is believable. Is it okay if I send SECRETS KEPT to a friend of mine and my agent as well? If you haven't cast it, I like to audition.
Thanks,
Jenny...


SECRETS KEPT movie written by author/filmmaker CHAU VAN TRUONG of THE NAISA MAFIA is building hype and hustling for one fan at a time by word of mouth. SECRETS KEPT is the people's movie so watch the trailer on my page. Spread the word and the hype, promote and plug it to your families and friends, and announce the love story of WILLIAM and CASS to the stage of your life and keep your romance alive in SECRETS KEPT. Post THE NAISA MAFIA and CHAU VAN TRUONG on your comment section and you might work and collaborate with me on my next book deals, film projects, video games, comic books, and many other ventures. DO THE RIGHT THING AND NETWORK WITH ME HERE, if not then it's OK too. SECRETS KEPT movie will be shooting in SOUTH FLORIDA. Other states in the U.S.A. and countries globally will be considered for other projects. Getting exposure is a must if my fans want me to shoot my movie at their location. Have a love so deep and true it bring tears to your eyes and shine in your heart ---> SECRETS KEPT movie is about eternal love that death cannot defeat. Coming soon is A KILLING STAR movie


Watch SECRETS KEPT movie trailer --> Believe in LOVE again <-- written by author/filmmaker CHAU VAN TRUONG of THE NAISA MAFIA by clicking on link.

BLAZIN STEAKS-OUTRIGGER REEF WAIKIKI. HAWAII'S BEST STEAK SAUCE.

My son Rocco & I found this great local steak place called BLAZIN STEAKS-OUTRIGGER REEF WAIKIKI with great steaks and delicious secret sauce. We enjoyed our dinner at sunset (beautiful city lights) and the usual fireworks in Waikiki. It was delicisioso and my boy Rocco loved it, yes so did the wife and I. So, if you are around Waikiki area, check out BLAZIN STEAKS-OUTRIGGER REEF WAIKIKI for awesome steaks at excellent prices $6.00 yes $6.00 yes believe it. It was onolicious and broke da mouth. See you there at BLAZIN STEAKS-Outrigger Reef Waikiki. Aloha and happy 4th of JULY celebrations dear friends. Manuia and aloha.
