Maybe someone here can help. Tiki Bar TV got me hooked into the Tiki lifestyle, and after looking around for a while, I still have the questions "What is Tiki, and what does it mean to you?" On one hand you have your Tiki purists who live the Polynesian island life and then on the other end of the spectrum, you have zombies and werewolves, all somewhat under the Tiki umbrella. Personally, Tiki to me is somewhere in between. I love the vintage clothes the women wear, of course the killer rum drinks, but then I also love the art deco-noir colors and overall look, Cheesy home made Tiki Bars and goofy things like zombies. This is what Tiki means to me. Now, should I hang my head in shame and walk away for being a faux-tiki fan, or, can Tiki be more than one thing, cover many different aspects, and still be called Tiki. I am interested in everyone's answer to this. I would really love to see what Tiki means to Y-O-U. -Baked Pajamas
