Dang, Jim, I bet if you would have known you could have had the centerfold with the SAME Tiki, but with ME instead of the babe...

Now you tell me! Where were you when I was looking for the perfect pin-up? Thanks for posting the photo it just goes to show the importance of lighting in a shot! I think you're showing a little too much leg for Dave's liking and I know he prefers 'Girls, Cars 'n' Tikis'! You just haven't lived until you've seen him lick the rusty chrome off a old Chevy bumper or the cold paint detail off an old Butlin's Beachcomber mug...Mighty impressive I can tell ya! He's a great guy, I mean it, I'm proud to have him as a friend!! I'm sure he'd say the same about me right now, ha, ha!

Must just add, thanks for the previous posting, I really appreciated it. I read it after a particularly tough time with the mag and it was very uplifting and emotional too!!

I hope it is obvious to any one who reads POCKETIKI that I just love this stuff, I'm certainly no expert, but again, I hope my passion more than makes up for that. It is great fun (hard work, but great fun), researching material for the magazine, I'm a keen learner and I have got some cracking subjects lined up for the next issue. One or two were meant to be in this one but I had to pull them to make way for extra information I had for the PACIFIC ENCOUNTERS article. The thorough research I did on Adriana (Adrianna amongst other spellings and a.k.a.s) sadly didn't make the magazine, but I think was a necessary part of understanding the whole culture. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! You can keep YOUR dirty little secret quiet my friend!!

Finally, encouraging to see some action on the first POCKETIKI #2s up for sale, maybe I'll be able to pay off some of the print bill and get some more done when I go back to work on Thursday. Until then....Pass the sun lounger and make mine a Mai-Tai!
