Premiere Monday

As Monday befalls us and we get ourselves ready for a new season, new characters, and new plot lines. I know many of you are as excited as I am to see what roller coaster ride is waiting for us.  


 
Some very lucky fans were able to grace the red carpet last evening with our favorite cast and wish them well on the season ahead. As for us we offer support the best way we know how and celebrate as ohana know best.



I suppose today how about a simple premiere party plan. Invite your friends over catch the season premiere, show them what style we #H50 fans have. This is great for any get together, but thought this would just give you you a kick start.
