As I have mentioned to Sabu before, the hardest images to come by are those of Tikis AND contemporay folk in one picture. There are tons of postcards of empty restaurants, or 50s Luau partyers having fun sans Tikis, but such a combination is precious! To me they are among the most memorable in the BOT: The three graces at the Tropics with the hairdo Tiki, the In crowd at the Pompano Beach Luau bar, Hefner with the Witco masks...the human element/scale really sells the absurdity of it all. The only thing harder to come by is images of 50s/60s Americans holding Tiki mugs! Needless to say, I would be absolutely thrilled to borrow that pool pic for my upcoming book, and also the night shot of the A-frame.
