Who was Hilo Hattie? Hilo Hattie, whose real name was Clarissa Haili, was a Hawaiian entertainer and businesswoman. She gained fame for her performances in Hawaii during the mid-20th century and later became known for her role in promoting Hawaiian culture through her retail stores, which sold Hawaiian-themed goods and clothing.
Hilo Hattie was born in 1901 and began her career as a singer and hula dancer in the 1930s. She became a popular figure in Hawaiian entertainment, earning the nickname "Hawaii's Ambassador of Aloha." In the 1950s, she expanded her influence by opening a chain of souvenir shops named "Hilo Hattie," selling a variety of Hawaiian products. Her legacy continues through these stores and her contributions to promoting Hawaiian culture and tourism. Hilo Hattie passed away in 1979, but her impact on Hawaiian tourism and cultural representation endures. Checkout a tribute to Hilo Hattie from PBS, Hawaii @ https://bit.ly/3T3VLp4.

I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
