Surely the thread title is written in plain enough english??
Anyone offended needn't visit, though I suppose curiousity will forever kill the cat.

Admittedly, this thread might appear to some to be on the unseemly side compaired to others
but nudity in varying degree appears throughout Tiki Central as a matter of course.
The thought of a forum dedicated to the western interpretation of south sea island idyll
without sex is entirely unfathomable. At times I've wondered to myself how many current Tiki
fans, who remember visiting vintage Tiki establishments with thier parents, were actually concieved
when Ma & Pa got carried away with it all after a night out at thier favourite Dons' or Vics',
maybe it was just the rum after all, who knows?

As far as the contemporary images are concerned, I don't think they should have been included but
that's just my opinion. My personal interest is most definately rooted in vintage and even antique
photography on this topic, whether they include images of actual Tiki or not, the thought that they
might have been taken in someones vintage Tiki bar is interest enough (even though most images appear
to feature professional models), or even featuring accoutrements commonly found in such a place might
lend legitimacy, including western women pretending to be polynesian, even just for one night.

martian-tiki, although the contents of vintage mens magazines aren't really my cup of tea, your posts
are spectacular to say the least and I'd ask you not to stop. The next amazing Tiki find is just the turn
of a page away.
