Those European film poster graphics are the best! You don't necessarily recognize the actors :lol: , but I like that they are all painted, not photos:

So now that we have gone from "People-on-the-Walk-of-Fame-that-had-an-impact-on-Tiki" to "Any-Hollwood-Star-that-ever-played-in-a-South Seas-Movie" just to keep this game going...

...just a word of caution: Let's ask ourselves: How far will we go just to "keep things going" because "everything has already been done in Tiki"? Is the only choice to either stay true to the style and face STAGNATION, or opening it to whatever has intersected with it at some point, and thus WATERING DOWN and loosing the essence of the concept? And where is the fine line between the two?

I really do appreciate the DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE from fans of other pop cultures, yet should that lead to posting just anything with a loose connection to the South Seas or Lounge culture as belonging to a TIKI-specific Walk-of-Fame? That "Chuck Tatum is Tiki" thing is a dangerous road to walk down, friends of Tiki (nothing against Chuck, which I am sure is a nice fella!) This message is just something to think about...
