I have read a number of threads with this very attitude. Did anyone stop to think that if tikis became more mainstream, people would naturally be drawn to the "original" Sending business to Polynesian restaurants, retail shops, hotels, bars, artists,and gasp, may help save some of the googy arcitecture we all love. I also see new and affordable tikis from garden companys (there was a tread about these a while ago)
I know you all are waiting to bite my head off but keep an open mind. The more people interested the better. I love new tiki things but treasure my old ones. I have several witco pieces but think it's great that people like bosco are carving new things. I also love tiki cheese. At Spencers gifts in the mall-I got some Moai incense holders for candles on my patio. I say live it up, who knows how long this will last!
