Seattle Media Tiki Coverage - General Tiki

Links can be found on page 4 of the Jet City Junket thread. Go now if interested as media links seem to expire for non-subscribers. The KUOW page had a well written paragraph... While fans of Tiki Style might border on religious fanaticism in their love for all things Tiki and their obsession for collecting Tiki mugs and menus, the Tikis they worship are wholly American artistic creations. In its heyday the decor, food and music used in Tiki bars was referred to as South Seas, Polynesian, or Exotica and later simply as Tiki. Today, the umbrella term Tiki is used to describe the entire gamut of Pan Polynesian arts that were applied in those restaurants and bars from the late 1930s to the mid 1970s.
