Is there any way you can allow us to just SEE the material, and not automatically download it when clicking on the link, without warning? I didn't want to do that really, but once started, I let it go, but now I can't find it on my desktop. :(

Firstly - Thank you "Chip and Andy" for the post and Sven for the books...

Sorry - it's a tradeoff I guess trying to balance saving someone the trouble of multiple clicks with the effort of making preview images and also images will automatically download every time someone comes back to this thread - which seems an unnecessary use of bandwidth. Of course there are worse ways for an electron to go out than making an image of a 1960's Tahitian beauty.

In the future I will try to make any shared material less "all or nothing."

An introduction of me: As a hobby - I'm mostly working on Ed Wood Jr. / cult movie related material - so I've come across plenty of semi-tiki material in the 60's magazines and sometimes they are both in the same image - Like that photo of Margo Sweet from Beach Girls and the Monster with a "Richard Croft / Decor Accent Moai mosaic" a few posts back.

Another example of a two for one is in Ed Wood's ORGY OF THE DEAD there is a Hawaiian Dancer (who worshipped hawaiian rattlesnakes!! and comitted suicide in a volcano) who does the only non-tedious dance much to the enjoyment of Criswell, the Mummy, and the Wolfman.
