I don't like the overly liberal use of the word TIKI as some sort of marketing ploy, nor do I like any Island Style being passed off as Tiki. And I mean Island style as any island, pick an island, resort kinda way of a vacation Island Style. Most of the Target stuff is cheap crap that is produced in some factory, and I haven't been in a Tommy Bahama's ever so I wont comment on their stuff. All of it serves as a sort of lighthouse to those out there that feel the pull of the Ohana. If some thing they pick up at Target gets them to look past the Cheesecake Factory for just a moment, then it is good. If looking at some carving or shirt in Tommy Bahama's gets them to look for just a bit more of something they saw out of the corner of they eye, this it is good. Stand as the example and guide others. Think, too, on what led you to where you are now. Most importantly, Keep the torches burning.
