Nice! The Tiki-detail in the Al Kocab drawings is particularly good, I count three different Tiki table lamps - and I can make out a Derby Daiquiri glass! I wonder if these drawing were made from photographs, and if so, where are those photographs? But then again, Kocab must have been so familiar with the place, he probably could draw every inch of it in his sleep :)

And it looks like they reused some pics from the session for the 1967 Calendar, at least in the case of Carol:

BTW, I have talked to Carol. She was on the Tonight Show twice as Mystery Girl and was very close with Johnny Carson. Also a Ford Model, etc. Wonderful lady. I hope to meet her and get some images one of these days.

Al Kocab designed those table lamps, but the detail makes me think that on some level it is a photo base. If there is an actual photo with that Molokai Girl pouring the Kona Coffee Grog, I'd love to see it!
