It's bizarre, because there were actually more Tiki Palaces in existance in the 1980s than today. But everybody seems to think the 80s were the Tiki low point????

And there's a sliding scale going on here. Mugs from the 1940s are more vintage than those from the 1970s. Is 'vintage' just another designer word for 'old'? Are 1920s Hawaiiana cups and mugs more 'vintage'?

I just think it's a nice name for strange old stuff. It's not a science. It's an art.
