Yesterdays sunset

It was actually raining on me while I was snapping that shot.

Benzart: Was feeling a little fatigued yesterday so I didn't carve anything. I'll probably give it a shot again tonight. Have to wait and see.
TDuddy: That tiki is a mere 30 inches high, or almost 80cm in unamerican length.
Marcus: Always a pleasure having you stop by the House of Buzz. Thanks for the praise. Come again soon!

Back before I took my little hurt break, I finished up that skiny armed Ku bling pendant.
Here he is after I put about 6 coats of clear on him

Even though he is a pendant, he can still stand up.

I wanted to go to Trader Joe's to get the new Tiki bags before they run out. But, I didn't know what to wear. I mean, to me, this is an official Tiki Event, and I must dress accordingly. I also have to stand out from the Hawaiian shirted "full timers", or managers of Trader Joes, and the old surf dudes who always wear Hawaiian shirts every day. I wanted to go a little casual, so I didn't want to wear my really big pendant. I decided that I should wear the casual Friday Tiki ensemble, which includes a tiki event tshirt, an unbuttoned Hawaiiam shirt which has already been worn to two previous tiki events, and the international symbol of a tiki guy-the tiki pendant.
Here is how it looks all together:

I put a fake mexican silver necklace that I bought for $5 and a pepsi at San Miguel in '92. Glad I held on to it for so long. Now I can call it a " vintage tiki necklace." The word vintage always adds to the credibility of the piece, regardless of its individual merits.

I'm going to win the tiki oasis costume contest this year when I dress as a Trader Joe's Tiki Bag.
