Didn't think it was possible but today was a dark day. They had the Tiki-SPa on Ambush makeover followed up by a client meeting at Tiki-Bar same episode. Both looked lame. Went to the mall and was overwhelmed by the tommy bahama display at nordstroms if I could see one more uncool shirt i could scream. Just saw the tiki inspired commercial for "secret" body spray. Tiki seems to be everywhere right now. Its resurgence is awesome and at times overwhelming.

I guess the more tiki the more good spirits you have. And I really question, can there be good taste to tiki? I like to think so but it's kind of an ironic twist on itself. And really my favorite pieces are all white mans reinterpretation of a fabricated thought of what tiki could be? Kind of like defining america?
