Sorry, my faux cousin, Marisa, isn’t getting a vote. I’ll go one vote for Stephanie Lum. Second vote goes to no_chance’s faux cousin, Tasha Kobashigawa, and my last vote goes to none other than weather man Ben Gutierrez who looks like he’s always sweating.
Here’s my vain picks…. Cool eye candy while watch local news.
Diane Ako
Tasha Kobashigawa
Mahealani richardson
My three votes (no particular order):
-Stephanie Lum
-Tasha Kobashigawa
-Trini Kaopuiki
Honorable Mention:
-Diane Ako (would have made the list if it wasn’t for WW’s poor review of her)
-Cindy Paliracio
Saw Trini at Kakaako Kitchen in Ward and almost didn’t recognize her without the heavy makeup.
Saw Cindy Paliracio at Starbucks by Circuit City and she looked the same as on camera.
Stephanie Lum in triplicate, pls… Wayne’s World should have ran slower in last year’s marathon
:-O
i’m casting all three of my votes for shari shima (from 10 years ago)… i guess it’s a good thing that we never got married back then! ;P
-stew
- Shawn Ching (3 votes) =)
In off-line talks, everyone got a lot to say about this topic. Everyone has stories to tell, so feel free to post anonymously shallow comments. What’s this about how Stephanie Lum is in person? The real Kim G. and Guy H.? The accomplishments of Reid Shimizu. The legs of Tasha K.? The appeal of newcomer Dave Erickson.
Don’t be shy, vote/post away. You’ll feel better!
Tasha Kobashigawa is leaving the biz to pursue her piloting career. Actually, I think she is pissed off that she is not #1 on this list.
OK, we were the ones with the sideline comments. First, let me cast my vote for Joanne Shin and another vote for Dave Erickson since I was advised to properly document my comments.
You have to admit though that Reid Shimizu has come far since he frist started and looked like he was wearing his Dad’s suit, at least he can make keep up the banter with Diane Ako. He gets my vote for most improved.
Here are my 3 votes:
Mahealani Richardson
Paula Akana
Robert Kekaula
Did Tasha Kobashigawa really date Hackbarth?? (Rubber Man) Just wondering because he is my classmate.
I think so. Is this a picture of them? Kinda lousy picture but oh well…
Liz Chun - she’s quick and to the point, just the way I like it for Sports.
3 votes for Dave Erickson!
I’ll go with Steph Lum, Kuualoha Taylor, and Marisol Boromeo…think second two are long gone, but never forgotten
Joann Shin
Tanya Joaquin
Tasha Kobashigawa
Far as I know Tasha is still with Hackbarth who imo is an idiot firefighter with mean whitehead zits.
Stan says that there are a lot of uninformed people out there. Tasha left the station mainly because of a situation stemming from her time in Thailand covering the tsunami disaster. She has a boyfriend(fireman) so she’s happy. A very nice person beyond her good looks….
Jerry and Anon, thanks for the recent comments and insights. Sorry to say that I closed this poll awhile back. The results can be seen here.
Also, if you want to see poor footage of Tasha Kobashigawa’s last night on TV, I have that available.
