T TabooDan Tiki Socialite Coast of BC now in Crowsnest, AB., Canada Joined: Jul 18, 2004 Posts: 691	T TabooDan Posted posted on Sat, Jun 16, 2007 1:32 AM The Lost Paradise event at the fabulous Waldorf Hotel is one event you wont want to miss!!! This may be one of the last chances to see this great Tiki establishment!! It sure isnt getting any younger and you all know how quickly places can change. One of the best examples of Polynesian Restaurants/Bars in North America! It's also quite amazing that it is still mostly untouched from it's original splendor of 1955! Three great rooms (and a few other areas) all completly different from each other and all with there own decor. Rare original handcarved masks, 6 original Leeteg paintings, (Yes, I said 6!!! Most people only know of the four in the Tahitian Twilite Lounge but there are also two tucked away for you to find downstairs!) breathtaking architecture, plenty of tropical decor and lots of bamboo! This place is a must to see for all the Tiki/Hawaiian/Polynesian enthusiasts out there. Here's a little taste for yah!! Part of the Eugene Savage wall to wall mural in the Polynesian Room. A corner of the Tahitian Lounge Bar with those great drum stools based off the famous Edgar Leeteg velvet painting "Tahitian Drummer" which is also hanging on the wall opposite the bar! The rarely seen Leeteg velvet painting tucked away in the Menehune Room. This one is also hard to see because it is recessed in the wall and the bulbs that give it a light glow have been burnt out for quite some time. This room is also one of the rooms that is only open for special events. Nows your chance!! Gotta show you this one of the cool Waldorf Hotel sign at night. It's pretty cool to see it when it's all lit up. Hopefully I've managed to get some of you considering coming out to the event. It will be worth the trip!!
