But TC has a specific vision of Mid Century in mind that I wish to ascribe to. And now it's charter. Overdue but still welcome. Put all the junk in your tiki bar you can stuff in there. Just don't get overly huffy if someone doesn't like it and points out its lack of TC-ish-ness. I actually have a large wooden Bali mask pool side at The Lagoon Lounge. Unpainted. I like it, but I'm not going to defend it when someone points out that it's not Polynesian and lacks the PolyPop bent. Nor will I declare it "Tiki" no matter who says it isn't. It's just a cool piece (no doubt about that) that happens to be at home within the Lagoon Lounge, which is a stellar home Tiki Lounge. My Kauai Coffee Bag hanging from the ceiling? Now THAT I'll fight about. :wink:
