...and I thought I was the only one who collected tiki mugs! Actually my whole house is done in a style best described as danish modern tiki lounge voodoo alter. I understand pure tiki but am not afraid to mix in anything complimentary. Buffet is not my bag but I have some close parrot-head friends, I don't get it, but it's a free country. Buffet is air-brushed and tiki is carved. I don't even think Buffet is tiki complimentary but that's just my opinion. I enjoy bossa nova and don't feel it clashes with the tiki feel of my home. But I realize it is not tiki. How do other tiki people feel about bossa nova? I would recommend the 1958 Brazilian movie "Black Orpheus" as the ultimate bossa nova intro. It makes me as happy as a 50 cent Goodwill tiki mug. Can anyone recommend a good tiki movie? I don't think I've ever seen one. If anyone has run across any good tiki noir (film or novel) I would love to know where to find it.
