Oahu, HI (PRUnderground) November 5th, 2018

Breast cancer is a very real issue that affects many women. Voluptuary Media is helping the cause by donating the net proceeds of their new 2019 “Empowered” Bikini Calendar in Hawaii to the Susan G. Komen Hawaii Breast Cancer Organization. The calendar features locals models in bikinis from sponsors KO Swim Hawaii and Sable Rose Bikinis. Happy Nail Shop, owned by local Oahu resident Kim Tottori, sponsored the bright pink Breast Cancer Awareness nails that all models wore in the calendar. Voluptuary Media chose a number of exotic locations on the island of Oahu for the breathtaking shoot. The company is filled with enthusiasm with the chance to give back to the important cause through their high-quality work.

“Getting up at 3:45 am in the morning each day to catch the morning light, for six days, I’ll admit sucked,” commented Michael Laudini, Owner and Photographer of Los Angeles-based Voluptuary Media, LLC. “However, knowing the end result would be this premium calendar product and that we would be donating all the net funds to an amazing cause, made it so worth it.”

A big part of selecting the cause came from input from the models themselves who were all quite passionate about helping a breast cancer-focused non-profit. Research led to the Susan G. Komen Hawaii Breast Cancer Organization being chosen, based on their spotless reputation for doing good work.

In an interesting piece of synchronicity, all of the local models chosen for the calendar ended up revealing they all knew someone close to them who had gone through the experience of having breast cancer, helping give them the motivation to perform their best during the photo shoots.

Over 100 locals tried out for the calendar with in-person interviews from the Voluptuary Media team cutting the number to 30 through an interview process, and then all variables were considered and a final 12 chosen. The company values the beauty of women with a natural look and attitude and found themselves lucky to work with twelve individuals who were easy going, enthusiastic, and inspired by the project.

The cover model of the calendar, Chloe Aquino, will be competing in the highly regarded Miss Hawaii USA 2019 Pageant.

The four exotic Oahu spots chosen for the shoots ended up being Waiʻalae Beach Park, Halona Beach Cove, Lanikai Beach, and Waimanalo Beach, all of which were near as stunning as the local models themselves.

The release date of the calendar is November 6, 2018, and it is a premium quality production for the 2019 Calendar Year, in Poster Format at 11 x 17-inch dimensions, with no middle fold.

Orders can be placed through Voluptuary Media’s dedicated calendar website: www.2019BikiniCalendar.com and stay part of the conversation on Instagram: voluptuary.media.
