Like any other. There are people who are into a huge variety of very specific things, from tiki to even subsets of tiki like exotica. And there are sci-fi and Harlequin Romance people. Also astrophysics and asian porn devotees. It's just a sub-culture that also dovetails for many of us, into vintage and polynesian or musical or preservationist ideas. Hell, I don't understand people who collect Coke ads or glass electrical insulators or creepy porcelin dolls or Beeney Babies. Now those people are freaks! The Swank Pad Broadcast - If it's Swank...
