Hey Stuff-o- Rama ( I am sorry I do not know your name!)my Wal-Mart rant was nothing against you. As you can tell I feel very passionate about my hate towards that chain and I was all fired up! (could you tell?!?!?)

Regarding the tiki items you pictured I think there is a place to use said items --like at parties --but I would never purchase them from Wal-Mart.

I am also not sure whose artwork those pics copy or look similar to since I am not that good at identifying by a quick glance.

Don't take the "we hate Wal-mart" comments personally because its about loathing that chain not negative vibes towards you :wink:

Thanks leleliz, my name is Teri. As a small businesswoman I am very aware of the evil of WalMart vs Small Biz. I live it everyday!

For the record, I am not taking anyone's rant personal. I just wanted to know who's art they might be using. If the artist was being ripped off, then I thought they should know.

In the past people have always posted things they've run across in chain stores to let the Tiki Central ohana know what's out there. Not everyone on Tiki Central lives in California or Florida where there are many choices of stores and varieties of merch when it comes to tiki. I was just keeping to the tradition. Sorry to upset anyone.
