Nake'u Awai's annual pre-holiday musical fashion show, themed "I'm Late! I'm Late!! For a Very Important Date," will be staged noontime Nov. 29 at the Ko'olau Golf Club Ballroom in Kane'ohe.

It's a gala with a marketplace offering crafts, plants and edibles, from 9:30 a.m.; lunch at 11:15 a.m.; and the fashion to-do at 12:15 p.m. The show will tap music from the Disney songbag, performed by Peter Espiritu, Puanani Higgins, Randy Hongo, Starr Kalahiki, Aaron Mahi, Cathy Foy Mahi, Joe Recca, Debbie Nakanelua and Aaron Sala. Most of these troupers have longtime ties with Awai — so it's kinda like an 'ohana kanikapila.

TICKETS: $45, with tables of eight arrangements. Call Nake'u Awai at 841-1221 for a reservation form or send a check with your reservation to Awai at 1613 Houghtailing St., No. 5, Honolulu, HI 96817. ...

UPDATES: Donna Butterworth, a child star from the Islands best remembered as a Waikiki showroom trouper known then as Little Eleu and then a kiddie sidekick in Elvis Presley's "Paradise Hawaiian Style" flick, has been recuperating at good friend Geoffrey Hansen's home in Las Vegas after a traffic accident. She has undergone therapy and has had stitches removed from her face as recovery continues. She has recorded a CD and is trying to jump-start her entertainment career, with the kokua of Hansen, a magician. Perhaps he can make all that bad luck disappear. It's been quite a transition, from the sunny tropical clime of Hawai'i to the heat and desert of Nevada. Little known fact: Butterworth grew up in Kailua, the neighbor of footballer Russ Francis and his family, and used to swim in their pool. ...

Local residents Glenn Okazaki and Anne Ho placed second in the USA Dance National Championships in 2007, representing America in the World Championships in Belgium last year.
