Ha ha ha! I am sorry Fez-lovers, but I have to admit I never like the darn things - worn by Tiki tipplers, that is. I appreciate them as art objects, they are great artifacts from a cult that naively engaged in Middle-Eastern exoticism just like Tiki culture engaged in South Seas exotics, yes- but you wouldn't catch me dead wearing one. I apologize, this is just my (and apparently John-O's) personal taste. But now that I have historic precedence, I am coming out as a fez dis-liker. :)

Sorry to say, but you have to add Lucas Vigor into the anti-fez movement as well! I never liked them. They have more in common with the neo-tiki movement then classical poly-pop, INMHO.
