Oh yes, I can see it now: The Tommy Bahama clientele forming a school of belief that is questioning the stylistic authority of the hardcore mid-century Tikiphiles...it will be a bloody confrontation, and ultimately the true Tiki believers will perish like the long ears on Rapa Nui, punished by history for clinging so narrow-mindedly to their iconography.
