Kökua for COCOA!

Aloha Swerkers!

You know, SJW is truly blessed, so whenever we can, we like to PAY IT FORWARD.

So, we're about to embark on Mini-Fundraiser #2!

Last week, we announced that all walk-in fees at UFC Gym-BJ Penn would be donated to The Life Foundation to support their mission of AIDS advocacy in Hawai`i.  With your support, a check for $145 is on its way to The Life Foundation.  Mahalo nui!

Now, it's time to help out a LOCAL GURL!  Yes, our very own, Miss Cocoa Chandelier, will be flying to NORWAY to present her paper on dance, Unveiling the Art of Drag.  She is a PhD candidate at the University of Hawai`i and we need to get her there! So proud of you, Miss Cocoa!

As you may also know, she's currently vying for a spot on RuPaul's Drag Race (Season 6), so on her way back from Norway, she's stopping in L.A. to HUNT Ru down until she's chosen... Hahahaha!

And all of this costs money, y`all.  So join us Monday, April 22 and Wednesday, April 24th @ UFC Gym-BJ Penn in Kaka`ako (7pm).  Your $5 walk-in fee and any donations you'd like to make will truly be appreciated!

Let's get the 808 repped on Logo TV and get another Hawaiian with her doctorate!  Cheeeehuu!!!

LIVE IT!

Support Hawai`i's OWN!

ALOHA, Swerkaholics!

It's no secret:  SJW luvs all and supports all... ESPECIALLY when it's HOMEGROWN, LOCAL talent!

So in the spirit of kökua, we'd like to send a big SHOUT OUT to our friend, the incomparable COCOA CHANDELIER!

Cocoa is currently waiting to hear back from the producers of Ru Paul's DRAG RACE on Logo TV.  She's vying for a coveted spot for the upcoming Season 6. Video, pics and resume have been submitted... But we can still HELP by:

1.  Liking her FB page (click:  HERE)

2.  Following her on Instagram and Twitter (Name:  Cocoa Chandelier)

And if you know her... Heck, even if you DON'T know her but would like to see the 808 represented... you can submit a video of support right onto her fanpage (click:  HERE).

Annual Honolulu AIDS Walk (2012)

Cocoa has been a staple in Hawai`i's entertainment industry for YEARS!  Her accomplishments are numerous... from The Iona Pear Dance Company to countless club shows/appearances.  And have you heard her emcee an event?  TO DIE FOR!  We were fortunate to have her host last year's "Back to School Boogie", a fundraiser for Boogie Down Productions.  Remember Principal Chandelier issuing detention slips?

In our humble opinion, her talent, personality and looks are versatile enough to not only earn a spot, but take this competition all the way!  The producers would be BRAIN DEAD to not choose her. So, don't forget...

- Like her FB page, add comments, and show some love and support for one of our OWN

- Follow her on IG and Twitter

Also, Ru has been known to "snoop around" applicants social media, so a comment or any show of support could help!

Mahalo for your time, SWERKERS... and GOOD LUCK, COCOA!

REPRESENT!

LIVE IT!!!
