As usual, Bigbro has succinctly captured the past and current reality we know as tiki in his foreward in the premiere issue of Tiki Magazine.

I'm not sure if all the subscribers have received there edition yet, so I'll keep the suspense at a maximum.

With that said, I'd like to quote Sven as he explains why tiki will never fully go mainstream, and we've nothing to fear but the cyclical nature of fads themselves...

"Because true tiki style is such an individually driven art form, it has so far defied any major attempts of commercialization. Being too complex and multilayered to become a formula, Tiki demands almost obsessive devotion to the theme that perplexes the corporate world."

(this guy needs to write a book or something...)
