I think both, if that is not having my Ray's Mistake, my Tiki Gold and my Tiki Tahitian in the same Tiki Ti order. Burlesque is "Classic Tiki Style" because it would be consistent with Tiki as a phallic symbol. (BOT p 22) I think Tiki architecture was, in fact, worshipped, as evidenced by the Tiki Meccas which were in their "heyday" then, but are with us no longer: Kahiki, Hawaiian Hut, etc. Also, Burleseque is consistent with the Burlesque entertainment of the 60s, with Tempest Storm, Betty Paige, etc. However, Burlesque certainly is a revival Tiki Culture, just as wearing old skool bark cloth Hawaiian shirts, as opposed to the contemporary silk Tommy Bahama versions are the preference, and favoring Martin Denny as opposed to Jimmy Buffet's Tiki Time selections.
