Ah, Sven... Mincing your words again, eh? :wink:

Well, guess what? I happen to agree with every word you said!

Yep! No argument.

And I think your words apply especially to most of the stuff I photographed but did not BUY. As for the two items I DID get, I'm a sucker for just about any depiction of a tiki bar, no matter how corny. Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know myself. Heck, I even picked up a couple of those tiki-shack style BIRDHOUSES over the years and customized the heck outta 'em!

And as for the little happy sorta-Ku-like tiki with the two torches, yep, it's pretty cutesy and 80's cartoony, but for some reason I just think he looks appealing in the spot I have him.

And I guess I was just so pleasantly surprised to see so many tiki themed items -- NON Polynesian/Oceanic though they may be -- in a place where I little expected to see them, that I let my critical faculties take a back seat.

But hey -- I'm under no delusion that these constitute legitimate contempo tiki ART. AND I still have the receipts, Sven. So if you think they clash with or lower the overall integrity of my lounge, I might give some thought to returning them.

Make no mistake -- in the matter of things I passionately like, I let NO ONE influence me. If someone else doesn't like it, too damn bad. But in this particular instance...we'll see.

(By the way, it was great visiting with you and Naomi last night!)
