To DC & Big Bro

First, thank you guys for the recognition.

I searched "tiki" in the website this morning and I found a lot more tiki titles than I thought. I remembered I did update the site last year. But I have more to do. We are finding more titles, & more tiki all the time. We get some info from TC and it's members - thanks! Again I have over 15 pages worth of stuff to add in and I will take a break and do it this week. Probably take a week to input it all in.

The Poly Pop list is tricky because hopefully we will do a book maybe a year from now and we don't want to give things away yet and again it is my paper for my master's degree of which I'll start next fall. Looking for a part time job though. The tentative reference book title: "WIKITIKIPEDIA: Encyclopedia of Polynesia in the Media" an exhaustive book on not only Pacific Island images in films and TV but also in Animations, commercials, print ads, the music industry and posters. Of course Poly Pop will have a chapter and tiki will be all over the book's pages. It would be a very visual book. Not just a boring list book because one of the keys to this subject are the visuals these industries created for our escape imagination. Wish us luck. Oh and for you Big Brother yes there will be stuff on sensuality from this genre, this would be the "The Taboo" or "Tropic Exotic Erotic" chapter. Here are some teasers for that chapter:
