Well, there's a reason why I have a Go-Go cage in my Tiki Room. It all started when we decided to be some of the planners for an event with a 60's theme, called Kiddlepalooza. We tend to be a bit extravagant with our ideas and quickly decided we wanted Go-Go cages and a Laugh-In Wall.

Since the Laugh-In wall was my idea, I had to come up with the design and paint it (don't ask about the hours of my life that I lost working on that thing!) while some other friends worked on the cages. There are 6 openings hidden in the wall and it was a great place for photo ops.

Since I was one of the two main dancers for the event, they gave me a cage after it ended. It sat in the garage for quite awhile until I finally got the Tiki Room space cleared. THAT is why my room has a Go-Go cage. Pretty much everyone who has been in the Tiki Room has to at least step inside of it and feel its mojo.

This is one of the many pics from our photo session before the event:

We were trying to get the right shot so I could use it for the cover of this CD, which was later auctioned off to raise money for the New Beginnings Women's Shelter in Seattle. It contained the music that was played during our dance portion of the event.

We even had our own Goldie Hawn:

Lastly, I designed a sign for the event and based it on an actual place that existed in the 60's called the Pussycat a' Go-Go. I couldn't find out much info on it, but I did buy a casino coin on eBay and recreated the design from that. I made the cat's head out black light reactive tubing that I bent on wire, then painted the logo in acrylics. I photographed the sign then made it into an animated gif:

Email me with your qualifications if you want to be my private dancer in the Go-Go Cage.... I'm kidding.
