Aloha Tiki Tribe:
Still work to be done, but these are the first "roughs" of our first Set of FOUR Tiki-Culture Beach Towels with our new Partners KC HAwaii!
1.) "Tiki Cat"

2) "Forbidden Island"

3) "The Moon of Manakoora"

4.) "Beyond The Reef"

I think perhaps I am leaning towards Kai-Koa's thoughts on Pirates vs Tikis more. Maybe we should use a more "Tiki-Culture word than a Pirate word "YoHo!" - heck, we love Pirates here in Da' Island too...but folks do come here more for Tikis of the Hawaiiana then "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Any other thoughts, my ohana? Any four letter words you like to throw my way. (he he he - I know I'm really wearing that one out, but I think it's funny every time!) Laters, and thanks for the input! I would have felt funny not having thought that one all the way through before it hit the shelfs... really, no one here on the island caught it! Weird! Just shows you how Tiki-culture is not centered around Hawaii at all... and what does that mean? I keep thinking back when I lectured at the U of M to Hawaiian students who didn't know there are Tiki-Bars all over the world. (!)

A-YO-HO-LO-HA!
