Miss Kauai and the Mysterious Tiki

And a Video of Ms. Elithe Kahn!

OK, that was too quick after the other pics. I am inclined to react as some folks did after the recent Sandy Warner updates.

Getting old really sucks !

It still beats the alternative!

Back to the original postcard, can anyone say for certain whether this Tiki is or isn't in Lilo & Stitch?

The movie and sequels show a number of purportedly Kawai-based Tikis, and I've never been able to find out for certain whether they're based on real Tikis or not (I've even written emails to the Writer/Director/Stitch Chris Sanders).

No answer to Freddie's question above yet.

But I did find a few more photos of Elithe Aguiar from an ad promoting tourism to the Island of Kauai:

Amazing collection of postcards, pictures, screen grabs, everyone!

Bravo Sabu for enlightening us once again to a little peice of history.

Might not make a bad idea for a biopic...

Thanks, Nancy!

Now I'm afraid I'm going to have to burst a few bubbles:

The following woman, though adorable, is not Elithe Aguiar

She appears in this Hawaii Vistor's Bureau ad from a magazine dated 1953:

But Elithe Aguiar didn't become Miss Kauai until 1964 and didn't start appearing on promotional materials until 1965.

But if anyone wants to research who the other woman is, I certainly wouldn't mind knowing.

I wonder why this type of classic marketing photo is no longer used?
