I was all complete crap, like Coach hats and fois gras and other ritzy rich people stuff, when I thought "Jesus, I feel even less connected to stuff like this than I did than when I was a teenage punkrocker, oh so many years ago". $500 shoes cool, $5 tiki mug not cool? I don't think so.... Let me hear your TIKI CENTRAL "Hot,Not" stuff. Here's mine... Hot: ITUNES, I have all my (legally) downloaded exotica, lounge, and soundtrack stuff in the shuffle mode. True bliss. Not: The "San Francisco" look. Clothes that look like the only things left from a thrift store that's about to go under, but cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
