The idea behind ClubCharm is to give girls age 7 to 12 a foundation of both manners and personal responsibility before they hit those teen years. Violet Shimoko was thrust into the “kids’ club” business years ago when her brother asked her to teach his three sons dinner conversation skills. Today, Shimoko has moved to the other end of the spectrum and has opened ClubCharm, a private after-school club for young girls.

Job Title: Executive Chef, Halekulani

Is cooking an art or science? Equally art and science for me, 50/50. You can be a very good cook without any artistic talent, but you do eat with your eyes first, so the art part is important. Beauty and admiration are an essential part of the process.

Michelle Bradley
Instructor, Astronaut Academy, Island Pacific Academy

Overall, what did you think? It was an unexpected movie.I liked the actress Milla Jovovich from before (Fifth Element), but this wasn’t like anything else she has done.

On a scale of one to four stars, what would you rate this movie? As far as a movie goes, it was ★★.
