Last night I went to the mall and bought two Moai items at Spencer Gifts{they misspelled it..uggh!They spelled it Moia anyways}I got fluorescent incense burner and a weird bunchy plastic material shaped into a Moai lamp.I got both for under twenty dollars.See,I love the image of the Moai...It is what brought me to my tiki induced path...I lay in bed last night thinking of all the plastic and paint and polluting crap it took to make these mall Moai's,but whats a poor girl to do....I've checked prices to Easter Island and I still have a ways [couple years] yet 'til I see the real thing.And ya can't get mugs off ebay for what ya used to...remember those days...Maybe if I didn't spend that twenty...but it is the here and now that counts.Plus,one day these won't be made,and they will be vintage...I was inspired last night...I have a 3 bedroom house,w/den,liv room,and dining room.I collect many things but the tiki's and moai's are creeping into and upon everything.I thought about a
vintage room and a new room of tiki's.Now my big idea is to have a tiki room and now a Moai room.As an artist,my house seems to be the biggest project I have evertaken....What do you think...I love the mystery of the Moais and I love tikis but they are totally different ...aren't they....
