While I agree that the tiki monkey in and of itself it NOT tiki, it does seem to have found its self a place in today's version of whatever Tiki has evolved into. Inauspicious and worthy of the title of tiki art, he should take his rightful place among skulls, puffer fish lamps and of course the ubiquitous colored glass globe. While I don't think of them as tiki in the usual sense, they do convey a certain mystique that tiki offers and thus fit wel. . . as long as we don't get carried away with the spectacle. else before you know it, some bloke has tried to throw disco music into the frey. Not to mention there is only so much you can do with enchanted beaches, long silent moia, jungle food and life, real life gilligan style huts and lifestyle that work and thousands of differrenting bottles of rum! Ah the call of the distant screaming maiden about to be sacrificed at sundown. The hula dance and of course the old style Lu ale. Yes, any new diversion to all things tiki are good and just. It is kind of funny that the millennials seem as totally clueless on the tastes of our fathers as everything it is if they have no inherent mechanism to internal quiet their soul which seems deemed to search eternally for peace and serenity, having rejected the models of their forefathers.
