The cultural offerings of the South Pacific (not to mention those of Africa, Carribean, and the Americas) are a testament to the inspirational power of art. I also love the Lounge, and Traditional Hawaiian music. I may add that I've long been facinated with Mid-century pop culture in many forms. There are many facets to Tiki and there's always something new. Keep in mind, Tiki isn't limited to Polynesia. Your quest is bound to turn up idols from throughout the South Pacific. For example, New Guinea (Melanesia) artifacts are some of my favorite and have greatly contributed to Tiki Pop-culture. -FB [ Edited by: FREAKBEAR on 2004-11-10 22:24 ]
