That clears things up because I wasn't able to locate you anywhere! Haha :)
So - for my project I am including parts of Kirsten's 'Book of Tiki' as an Introduction, the article called "Paradise Lost" written by Boyd Rice in 'Taboo: The Art of Tiki', and two articles about Hawaiian shirts and Polynesian food written by Jane and Michael Stern in 'The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste'. I am also writing an essay about the topic in general.
It's supposed to be a catalog to go along with an exhibition, so just think of the books you can buy in a museum store after you see an exhibition. The exhibition is divided into the following subjects which are covered in the catalog:
Introduction
Brief history (up to approx. 1935)
Kon-Tiki Expedition
Advertising
Tiki mugs/ceramics
Hula dolls
Major tiki establishments
• Trader Vic’s
• Don the Beachcomber
• Mai Kai
Architecture, Interiors, Googie
Hotels
Menus
Napkins
Swizzle sticks
Clothing
Jewelry
Pin-ups
Music
Photos
Postcards
There will also be a bar serving tropical cocktails at the exhibition, and I have included about a dozen tiki drink recipes in the back of the catalog. So basically, any essays, articles or writings on any of these subjects would be great for inclusion in the catalog!
Let me know of any other questions, concerns, etc.
