Ookoo Lady:

I love Trader Vic's and am starting to acquire a nice collection. I have the kneeling hula girls Scorpion Bowl. it is so kitschy and cool, and in great shape. not only is it the most dear piece I own, but I love its composition.

My second favorite piece is a ceramic yellow chafing dish with the Senor Pico face. We put candles in it, and the glow and whimsy is priceless. Although, not tiki per se, i love the cheese factor of Trader Vic's Senor Pico Mexican restaurants and have a decent collection of their mugs, as well.

By the way, model your hat for us with a photo. that would be cool.


Before the Revolution, the per capita consumption of RUM in the Colonies was 3.7 gallons PER person. We have become a Neo-temperant nation of wimps and quitters! We must rise, Tiki Nation, and raise our ceramic mugs in resistance to teatotaling!
