O

Vampiress,
Here is another picture of Ema (or is it Edna) taken the day before her wedding.
Her husband didn't approve of her hair either it seems. " He wouldn't look at it, I wonder why?}
She kept the picture , good for her. We take pictures for granted now and they cost almost nothng, especially digital. I wonder how much this one cost her to have made?

Here is a close up showing her name as Edna or Edma Sibley.
She might have eaten at Clifton's in downtown LA. Wasn't this around the same period that many American's were into Hawaiian music? I'd like to thnk she was into tiki and I can imagine how her place looked and what kind of music she played.

This post is another appeal to all of you with your images. I'm not sure why but getting pictures is like hens teeth.
My own brother has been saying he would find some tiki photos of hs art. He did a banner called Typhoon Tiki for the Santa Monica Pier and another photo of his miniature of the Zanzibar Tiki Room. (Come on Bro! Cut loose with the pictures you lurker)
Thanks to the TCer's who have been posting more and making the effort. Locating Tiki is really growing lately. The rest of you, please start using your camera, pull out those albums and use your scanner. If you don't have a scanner, I am going to propose someone bringng a scanner to future TC events.You can bring your photos, postcards,etc. and they will be scanned while you wait.
