As "naughtytikivixen," I too was one of those shadowy, lurking figures back in the Yahoo days. But now, feeling rather overworked, impecunious and generally weary of spirit, (and therefore slightly less naughty, unfortunately) I've decided it's time to join in the refreshing Tiki fun here at Tiki Central! I've loved old things all my life, particularly vintage clothing. I am now a full-time online clothing seller and spend much of my spare time traveling about, searching for my latest collection of treasures. There's nothing like the call of the open road, particularly when you know there's thrift stores and estate sales just waiting to be pillaged! My cats and I live in part of a big old Victorian by the waterfront in old Vallejo, CA. My big, drafty kitchen is a bizarre but (I think) charming blend of deco kitchen furniture and dishes, film noir posters, and a well-stocked vintage tiki bar. I already know some Tiki Centralites from other social scenes (hi to thejab and mrsmiley!) and am looking forward to meeting the rest of you. The Palm Springs Tiki Oasis was a fabulous weekend of pure escapism--can't wait for the next one. And er, I did have one naughty moment, as I dimly recall being among the tipsy miscreants thrown out of the pool area at 2 am. By the way, I like this site far better than Yahoo already. Thanks and congratulations! And--one question--am I the only one who dreams wistfully of getting some backers together and one day opening the ultimate, ULTIMATE tiki bar? Surely not...
