I just wanted to rant a bit (more) about the fact that everywhere you see "tiki" in retail today, it is nearly always also crazy tacky. But, I see faux African and Asian art and it is designed to look like the real thing! If the tiki stuff looked like the African stuff at home decor and craft stores, I'd probably buy a lot of it. Why are they hating Polynesian Culture this way! |
