I recommend anyone with a concern, or personal incentive about how this write-up ultimately characterizes tiki and/or accurately captures the aesthetic to call or email Liz. Don't rest this solely on the back of PTD. I got the same email and so did probably dozens of other people if not more, but we all can just as easily comment as everyone here has a vested interest (of sorts) to ensure the article delivers a sound expose regardless of where you're from. In fact I think it would be ideal if she received email from people all over. Forget whether you got a formal invitation to respond. PTD posted her contact information so it can't get any easier and I'm assuming he did so for a reason. Thanks PTD.

Consider this. If we are providing the history, photos, perspective and personal stories how could she possibly drift off course headed straight for the island of Jimmy Buffet, or whatever other disturbing misrepresentation that we have all grown to loathe. If she does anyway, well, it wasn't due to a lack of effort on our part to steer the story and give mid-century/tiki/PolyPop the respect you know it deserves. In short write the dang thing for her as she'll love you for doing all research for her. The depth of expertise here is phenomenal. Bury her inbox. (PTD - you are what you is)
