Hey henry i live in oahu hawaii and i have some cousins who have been homeless and i have seen them in chinatown, ala moana, millilani, dole canary, dominis street ect and i just see people looking own on them and since APEC is here they have to take the homeless way from areas that the APEC meetings are, the homeless need support.

I'm homeless. I just happen to occasionally have access to a computer.

I am always amazed at how much effort alot of homeless folks put into their "look:.

I understand hygiene and how hard it is to keep it up w/o regular baths, but I never understood HOW they put so much effort into their dress and hair styles. REALLY, if u have the time dress sexy or look "cool" or "tough", use that energy to better yourself in some way other than your appearance.

My vanity went away when my home did.
