Is that vintage ?? Yes, somewhere along the way, the Tiki Revival seems to have lost touch with its lounge roots and shifted more towards beach culture (or was Tiki ever part of the mid-1990's "Cocktail Nation"?) At this point you could almost write a book on the different phases of the Tiki Revival. And if you think about it, the Revival has lasted almost as long as the original classic Tiki-style period. That's kind of weird. Almost like when "MASH" ran longer on TV than the entire Korean War lasted. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-08-25 18:17 ]
