You must be kidding me, that must be a photoshop job! That is like everybody's favorite Burlesque queen there is, plus Calypso, at a TIKI MODERN venue? Only Betty Page is missing (if she would have performed). How much more perfect dream-come-true can you get!? That must be fake, that's like Martin Denny would have a performed at THE TIKI RESTAURANT.... ...wait a minute, he did! The above poster (to be seen in my Sound of Tiki booklet) is real, the place existed, and he played there. When I saw this at my friend Jordan's house for the first time, I could not believe it! It seemed like such a cliche. So does the above ad, but I do thing it is real too. I just love it when all the elements of our genres come together to form a sort of hyper-reality! I only wish that this ad would exist in better quality somewhere...
