Nadia Ribeiro has expanded her Brazilian Show Room, moving to a new space at 3588 Wai'alae Ave., just two doors away from her original boutique. In true Brazilian style, she's throwing a street party to celebrate, with capoeira, live Brazilian music, cocktails and pupu.
Events begin with a blessing at 5:30 tonight, followed by Brazilian madness at 6. Information: 735-7537.

NO-CALORIE CAKE
From afar, it looks like a real cake; up close, it's white mums with a band of carnations, festooned with a bow. This no-calorie way to say happy birthday, happy anniversary, or get well is available for $35.50 with one day's notice at Flowers by JR Lou & T, at 2652 S. King St. Call 941-2022.

FINAL WORD
"Award shows were invented to anger celebrities. People with fantastic lives need something to be irritated about."
