Tipsy, thanks for bringing that up, though I am surprised it's coming from you. I am NOT postulating that there should only be "purist" vintage Tiki lounge Tiki as you described above. My point of view is sometimes twisted to being un-appreciative of the Tiki revival as a whole, and I have to repeat again, nothing could be further from my mind. I am thrilled and inspired by the Tiki revival and its horn of plenty of new creative talent, as many of the artists and friends in it can attest. Hotrod and Beatnik elements are unique and legit side genres of the Tiki revival....AS LONG AS THE TIKI ELEMENT IN THEM IS RELATED TO TRUE TIKI.

I just don't get what is so hard to understand about what I am saying here?

PS.: Sorry, Dave, your work is certainly well informed by classic mid-century Tiki, and ....it's late (midnight here) and I'm tired, I have a long shooting day tomorrow, good night. :)
