After being curious about polynesian pop for a few months, I decided one day that I was going to collect tiki mugs, and for some reason I thought it would be super easy to find them.

So that day I went to the local Value Village (or the V.V. Boutique as we like to call it), and there on the shelf for a buck each were 2 'Leilani' mugs. Also, there was a Disney Polynesian mug for 6 bucks, but I pooh-poohed it, thinking 'well, if they're this easy to find, I'll just get another for a quarrter somewhere!'

Of course, I have never found tiki mugs in a Toronto thrift store since, and I've been looking diligently for 3 years.

Weird, huh?
