Do you think shag is selling out? - General Tiki

I mean, I like some of it...but do not see the originality that others do. Never have. But Rencik, $8.00 for a floaty pen is not all that expensive. In fact some regular pens are far more expensive. We're not talking about a dime-a-dozen advertising pens you give out to clients or swipe from your bank. And, for those of us who have to work, I for one, love incorporating Tiki into my work-world, (when I can). My desk in my office is filled with tiki trinkets: Moai and Hawaii mugs hold my pens, framed postcards of Don the Bechcombers, Kahiki and The Tropics (Dayton, OH). A jar of shells and sand from the Gulf Coast. And I have a Milo hula dancer someone gave me from a Happy Meal or something. Why would someone NOT want to bring their easy going tiki-interest into their work place? Tiki shoudl not be restricted to a home bar...you show him, you wear him, you share him! B-Ben said,"Concerts sell out. Artists make a living doing what they can do!" I could not agree with that more! Hey, if I had the success that Shag has seen, I would be selling anything that people would buy - and there is no limit to what we would buy. Com'on, admit it, if someone made tiki toilet paper, we'd be buying it! And I may not fully appreciate Shags work like many others, but you have to admit, the guy has something that people want and finds all kind of new ways to give it to them! Who knows, I may jump on the Shag-wagon someday and buy something besides the one t-shirt that I own and have never worn. -C. :sheckymug:
