Regarding Pucci's: It might never have been Tiki. When I fell in love with A-frame architecture in the wake of my Tiki obsession, I naturally assumed that all true A-frame restaurants must initially have been Polynesian restaurants, but now I believe that some establishments just adopted the style as it was en vogue. Hey Sabu, I think I photographed the remnants of that Outrigger Motel porte cochere when shooting Witco Hotels in Florida for Tiki Modern: (it's on page 107 in the Tiki post collage) And here, that Mauritus stamp of Tiki matchbooks, the rare golden "Kon Tiki"-style Tiki Ti matchbook: ..with that handy drink list to mark which ones you already tried!: WHAT "is the key"? : ......... :)
