Wehell, you must not have read The Book of Tiki then! :D

This Toscano Tiki is an oldie but a goodie: First Toscano copied the Enchanted Tiki Room totem pole out of the book...

(see on left edge of photo)

....and then the Ku candle on page 184:

That they are now copying my text to hawk their wares is really hillarious! :lol:
It's probably the original Design Toscano catalogue text and Sears just used it. Man I used to love those catalogues, the epitome of bad taste made possible by the miracle of modern resin casting.

By the way, I spent a good part of "Tiki Modern" delineating how Tiki was initially associated with the "artistic bohemian lifestyle", too. :)
