TIKIYAKI ORCHESTRA and the Art of Gilligan's Island !

Here by the way is the OTHER Tiki used in the series.... one of the mysterious GOLDEN kind. Beware, as he turns people into VOODOO PUPPETS!

...not really:

The plot of this 0ctober 1966 "VooDoo" episode is full of Tiki buzz words, but I remember this script to be a little too inane - if that is possible for a Gilligan episode!

However, the Tiki is easily identified by the seasoned Tiki collector as Paul Marshall Products' "Easter Island Bust":

...whose black lava surface has been shiny-ed up with a coat of gold late 60s -style, much like I was referring to in my "Golden Tiki" theory in this thread:
http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33775&forum=2

I still have yet to see "High Man on the Totem Pole":

The "Kupa Kai" (a play on the Kapu Kai?) sound promising, but a search for an image reveals that the prop department did a pretty lame job in 1967:

My money is still on Kona as THE best Gilligan Tiki of the few.

Great post...I guess we have to have someone make a "VooDoo" tiki now too !

The Mayflower is a great venue to see TO. check out this site to get your Gilligan fix until the show.

Here's a random fact for you; the Christmas song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" can be sung to the tune of the Gilliagan's Island theme song.

Several years ago at our annual Christmas talent show, my sister-in-law tried it. But was unsuccessful after several attempts because she kept reverting to the original tune :lol:

Ijust saw you last night and you didnt mention it . But I thought we talked before . You asked me if I wanted to vend and I believe I replied YES ! Can I still get in please ?

Sorry, Ray, I forgot to mention..... YES ,TIKI RAY is vending at this show as well.

Get those last minute cocktail names into the hat now.... We are just about ready to concoct new cocktails for the big show!

can this guy and his band play either night?
:wink:

I am also gonna be vending, like last year (...or was it before?). Since my Christmas movie got cancelled, I will be A.) in town, and B.) broke, so besides the usual signed Tiki Mod book and Tiki Archeology DVD offerings I am gonna bring lotsa Tiki goodies from my coffers, some Tiki revival art, some shirts --all priced to sell, like last time.

The things that push up bras and body posture can accomplish! :D

She modeled for Playboy in the late 50s, so she must have had something up there:

http://www.fanpix.net/picture-gallery/477/1818477-tina-louise-picture.htm

Wikipedia:
"At the age of 17, Louise began studying acting, singing and dancing. During her early acting years, she was offered modeling jobs and appeared on the cover of several pinup magazines such as Adam, Sir! and Modern Man. Her later pictorials for Playboy (May 1958, April 1959) were arranged by Columbia Pictures studio in an effort to further promote the young actress."

exotica girl!

Its so cool to be part of this show . Not only will I be vending at the Mayflower but my personal contribution to the Gilligan art will be at the Mayflower and the Tonga show as well .
I was inspired by season 1 (Waiting for Watubi)episode where the Skipper digs up a buried Kona Idol which brings bad luck to him . The only way to break the curse is if Watubi himself shakes his beads at him . Of course we all know that it is just Gilligan dressed up as Watubi .
Cindy went to Arizona to see her kids and she took the camera so my cell phone pics make the piece look a little squashed . But the real piece is way more proportional .Im just not that great at stretching pictures .Maybe Jim can fix it for me . Anyways, I hope you like it and see ya at the show .

Ray, That's badass !!!! How much for that guy ?

I havent even thought of that yet but it will be very affordable .Its pissing me off looking at these pics though . IT looks so short and fat and Im not that great on the computer . You can se looking at both pics and comparing them that even those dont look the same . Somebody help stretch them or get over here with a real camera . Wait , let me try this...

This is better .

[ Edited by: TIKI-RAY 2010-11-05 11:47 ]

Better ?

Whateverrrrr. Im a carver , not a computer geek . Friggin' cell phone pics . I gotta get back to making art for your damn show now ....hahaha .

Do that thing you do so well, Ray.

Drink name winners coming up. I like so many names they are all so great so, we will go with at least 2 new cocktails for the event. Stay tuned, " Dont touch that dial!"

Kelly, can you make the drinks at the Mayflower club too?
just sayin'
;-0

Jeff(btd)

The mayflower usually does a great job on the drinks , they make some premixes, spot on with the recipe and they have alot of great beers as well!!!

Guess I am drinking beers then.
;-/

Jeff, you're the only person I've ever heard complain about the drinks at the Mayflower....but why does that not surprise me ? :-/

well, I have to say that there might have been a problem for the first time you played there.
I mean, common, Pineapple Juice in a Mai Tai?
tasted nothing like a Trader Vics, or Dons Mai Tai.

but I was not there the 2nd time you played at the Mayflower,
I had a wedding to go to, so it could have been better that time.

but what do I know?
not busting yer ballz, just saying.
Jeff(btd)

why do i want to swat someone with the captain's hat!

show is almost here.... little buddy.

By the way, the inward-bent knee, hands in lap "I've-got-to-go-peepee" posture is not just a joke, but based on Vanuatu fern wood carvings.

Here's one at the Bowers Museum:

LOVE THE BIG BRO! i never like that pee stance and blamed Milan for starting it up... but now i know better!...

I chose Milan Guanko to be the one of 'Queens' for my chess set since he carved female tikis... looks almost the exact same as the Gilligan star... go figure

Jeff, The Mayflower bartenders have NEVER used Pineapple juice in a the Mai Tais. They followed the Trader Vics recipe I gave them TO THE LETTER. They made sure to check with us, and we did a taste test the first time, and they haven't changed it. They were really careful to follow the recipe that we gave them.
There IS pineapple Juice in a Jungle Jetsetter, and they follow that recipe to the letter too.

"SWAT!!" goes the Captain's Hat!!

I believe that it's very important to remember those who have supported us. The Mayflower as opened their venue and as supported the Tikiyaki Orch. and the vendor sales for a couple of years now. The Mayflower Club has made it possible to enjoy all this for a very reasonable cost all around. Therefore, please support Mayflowers concessions, eat a Banger have a Vic's Style Mai Tai or a lovely pint of Ale or Beer and have a great time everyone. Please join me at the Tonga Hut Sunday The 21st for a great show and some Hip Cocktails!

Well put, Kelly. It's a great group of people who run the shows there. So, on to more positive things, like...ARTISTS, WHERE ARE YOUR GILLIGAN PIECES ?
