"Atmosphere and vibe are very important, and to me, this means having kitschy / idealized / stylized island decor to create a feeling of escapism, and I think Bamboo Ben nails it."

Many times it is just a idea of the meaning of words, like I would not call Bens work kitschy but would use that as a word for Party City stuff.
Would not really want that word tied to my work.

But it was said in line with he does great work so we know it's just a difference of word definition's.

Was once thinking of opening a tiki Restaurant bar myself (aren't we all)and did talk to Ben about a build out long ago.
So I do agree he does great work.
Again I have not sold lights to Ben and have no reason to support him other than fact.

Remember the person looking at this may not be as knowledgeable on this whole tiki thing as a long time TC person might be.
