What happened to all that bad Tiki art? Oh, here's a nice one: "Unique cast of an Easter Island head in concrete" Trader Woody

I guess all the people selling Shag ripoffs got bored and moved on to selling something else. Or maybe not... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=360&item=3758834923&rd=1

It's like when you go out to rent a movie, and you get a terrible movie on purpose JUST BECAUSE! Or when you drink old milk, or smell your fingers after picking your toe cheese or.... Nice thread TW! If that clay Maoi was made by a 4 year old than it might be good, but... is someone actually trying to sell it? "Hey, at least I'm housebroken." [ Edited by: Polynesiac on 2004-11-08 21:11 ]

So this woman is clearly an advanced being from the 4th dimension. Who knew? Hint: when one has to state 'I have developed my own style', chances are they haven't.
