Hawaiian Tropic Embarks on Bold New Chapter with Launch of "Tana Sutra" Campaign Featuring Alix Earle
The brand's new Tana Sutra guide marks the return of Hot Girl Summer, one playfully provocative position at a time.
SHELTON, Conn., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Tropic, renowned for its signature scent and iconic suncare products, announces the launch of its boldest campaign yet: Tana Sutra, a tongue-in-cheek guide of tan-tric positions to achieve the optimal glow. Featuring social media mega star and it-girl Alix Earle, the campaign empowers people to let their flirtiest, most confident selves shine all summer long.
"This is a breakthrough moment for Hawaiian Tropic. 'Tana Sutra' is the largest creative campaign in the history of the brand," said Veronique Mura, SVP/GM at Edgewell Personal Care. "It celebrates Hawaiian Tropic's heritage as the brand which has been inspiring people to unleash their more fun, sexier selves since 1969. This campaign represents a perfect blend of cheekiness, confidence, and glowing skin – and we are thrilled to have partnered with Alix Earle to bring it to life."
Created in partnership with BBH USA, Tana Sutra is a playful Kama Sutra-inspired guide, designed to help you get that even, sun-kissed glow which can only be achieved by lathering up and switching up positions every 15 to 20 minutes. Whether it's arching for the "Selfie Stretch" or posing for the "Miami Mist", Alix elevates the campaign with her own take on getting the perfect glow – channeling the carefree spirit of summer and the feel-good power of radiant skin.
Shot on location in Islamorada by LA-based director Aerin Moreno, the campaign spot seamlessly infuses the brand's heritage with Alix Earle's effortless charm. With every frame comes modern femininity, youthful energy and the sun-kissed confidence that has defined the brand for decades.
"Ask any sun-lover, including Alix Earle, and they'll tell you – the secret to an even glow is switching positions every 15 to 20 minutes," said Erica Roberts, Chief Creative Officer at BBH. "That ritual inspired 'Tana Sutra' – our vibrant and flirty glow-getting guide that nods to the brand's iconic history while speaking directly to the bold, radiant energy of now."
The campaign kicks off with a :60 spot, setting the tone for a tantalizing summer ahead. This launch moment will be amplified across key media channels, including streaming, digital, social and out-of-home placements. The storytelling will continue throughout the season with exciting influencer partnerships, custom mailer deliveries, experiential moments, and a limited-edition release of the brand's illustrated Tana Sutra guidebook.
Get in position. Find your glow. Tana Sutra summer is here.

2 ‘Gilmore Girls' actors to join Brighton's Stars Hollow weekend in September
Fans, dust off your flannels and fast-talk your way to Brighton this fall: Two beloved 'Gilmore Girls' stars are coming to town. Destination Stars Hollow, the immersive fan event that transforms Brighton's Main Street into the cozy, fictional town from the hit early 2000s TV show, returns in September — and this year, it's bringing some familiar faces. Scott Patterson, best known for his role as the grumpy-but-lovable diner owner Luke Danes, will appear at the event on Saturday, Sept. 20. Also joining the festivities that day is Michigan native Rose Abdoo, who played two fan-favorite characters — the quirky mechanic named Gypsy and, in the Netflix revival 'A Year in the Life,' the no-nonsense maid Berta. Abdoo was born in Detroit and raised in Southfield. She is also a Michigan State University alum. Meet-and-greet tickets with the actors will go on sale closer to the event, with an official date to be announced. VIP ticket holders will receive first access to those limited tickets. More: 'Gilmore Girls' fan event returns to Brighton for 3 days this fall The 2024 debut of Destination Stars Hollow drew more than 40,000 fans from across Michigan and as far away as Hawaii, New York and Florida, putting Brighton — a small city in Livingston County — in a national spotlight. Created by Brighton residents and 'Gilmore Girls' superfans Kathleen London and Laura Boote, the event is designed to boost local businesses while offering fans a chance to step into their favorite show. Nearly 40 downtown storefronts will be transformed into Stars Hollow-inspired destinations, complete with themed décor and curated experiences. This year, the festival will stretch over three days instead of one. It kicks off Friday, Sept. 19, with a $150 VIP package that includes early access to Main Street shopping, a themed tote bag filled with show-inspired merchandise, first access to dinner reservations, and priority for meet-and-greet tickets. The free-to-attend festivities run from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, and Sunday, Sept. 21., featuring a wide range of themed shopping stores, photo ops, activities, food and more. According to organizers, weekend events will include easter egg hunts, dance-a-thons, knit-a-thons, Chilton-style fashion shows, a look-alike contest and even a Poe Society homage — all designed to immerse attendees in the 'Gilmore Girls' universe.

During Pride Month, Häagen-Dazs® debuts new work from three LGBTQIA2+S artists across New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco inspired by the art of slowing down WALNUT CREEK, Calif., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This June, Häagen-Dazs® proudly continues its multi-year partnership with nonprofit Allies in Arts (AiA), celebrating Pride Month with a new nationwide mural campaign. In collaboration with three LGBTQIA2+S artists, the brand is unveiling large-scale, vibrant artworks in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, each inspired by one of Häagen-Dazs' newest flavor launches: Salted Brown Butter Cookie ice cream and Salted Caramel Macadamia Bar. As part of the brand's larger 2025 campaign focused on celebrating life's slower moments, Häagen-Dazs® tapped three LGBTQIA2+S artists from Allies in Arts' creative network to interpret this ethos through large-scale murals. Each piece reflects the belief that true indulgence, like Häagen-Dazs ice cream, should never be rushed. It's a rich and sensory experience meant to be fully enjoyed. In New York City, Subin Yang reimagines an intimate moment of connection, incorporating soft textures that mirror the creamy, layered richness of the Salted Caramel Macadamia Bar. In San Francisco, Alice Lee captures a peaceful city escape drawn from the colors of the Salted Brown Butter Cookie carton. And in Los Angeles, Loveis Wise brings a vibrant, sun-soaked mural to life, channeling the Salted Caramel Macadamia Bar through warm tones and laid-back energy. These bold public artworks will debut throughout the summer in each artist's home city, offering passersby a chance to pause, indulge, and appreciate the beauty of the everyday. "This partnership with Allies in Arts brings together innovative flavors and creative and bold storytelling," said Rachel Jaiven, Head of Häagen-Dazs® Marketing. "It's exciting to see how each artist designed their mural this year to invite people to slow down, take in their surroundings, and enjoy a moment of creativity and indulgence." Originally launched through #ThätsDazs, Häagen-Dazs®' partnership with Allies in Arts highlights the brand's continued investment in rising creators and is now in its fourth year. Through this collaboration, the brand continues to provide well-paid creative opportunities while connecting art and community through flavor-forward storytelling. Like the careful crafting of its ice cream, Häagen-Dazs® sees mural-making as an intentional process—one that rewards patience, attention to detail, and a celebration of slowing down to create something truly special. "We're so grateful to Häagen-Dazs® for providing life-changing opportunities to our community of LGBTQ+ artists," said Drew Denny, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Allies in Arts. "Partnerships like this make our work possible." Each piece will be featured on a prominent outdoor display, with the following mural locations and flight dates: Los Angeles: W. 3rd St. & S. Orlando Ave: 8401 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90048 - Flight dates: 5/21/25 - 7/20/25 New York City: Everit St. & Vine St: 25 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn NY 11201 - Flight dates: Flight dates: 5/22/25 - 7/20/25 San Francisco: Lombard St. & Buchanan St: 1897 Lombard St. San Francisco, CA 94123 - Flight dates: 5/26/25 - 7/20/25 For more information about Häagen-Dazs® and its ongoing work with nonprofit organizations like Allies in Arts through #Thät'sDazs and beyond, visit and follow @haagendazs_us on Instagram and TikTok.
