spy-tiki that looks like Virginia Bell - though I'm not certain.

The model is Joyce Gibson who was quite prolific throughout the late 60's 70's and making comebacks in the 80's, 90's up to probably 2000. She was in playboy with Arnold Schwarzenegger and on tv in Mork & Mindy and Night Court.

And she posed with a tiki.

And some hula girls spotted on ebay...

I think that Hula Girl #1 (3rd pic down) from martian-tiki was the inspiration for Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl haltime "performance"!

Stare
Feb 1953

I suppose if I owned this I would think the pictorial of Mara Corday Oct 1958 playboy playmate / actress in Tarantula 1955 giant spider science fiction film would be notable.

The hula girl cover image will have to do.

Al, those remind me of these beauties, which I have been meaning to post since some time:

(not Tiki, but who cares :D )

They are done by an animation artist named Bill Presing:

I found a book with his girlie art in -of all places- Paris:

Reuploaded a previously scanned Lewis Vandercar article

This issue has a republished photo from the above.
Additional notable content: Actress Nadejda Dobrev on the cover and throughout the issue. The model with the leis is also an actress in sexploitation film Mondo Freudo I think.

Oh and the cup pattern was why this particular issue got scanned now...given the thread on taco cups currently at the top of the discussion...

Jaybird Color Spectacular
Number 3 October 1966

Thank you for continuously contributing some fine eye candy here. Somehow I had missed the "Naked Island" spread - what classic text, hilarious!

That "Made in Western Germany" writing on that equipment case I believe refers to the Arriflex camera in an old sound blimp they used.

After our TC eyes have been sensitized by the extensive Frank Bowers research on this site:

http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=34053&forum=1&start=0

...we could not fail but notice his characteristic brush work in the background, and did not hesitate to identify the true location as being the Zamboanga, home to Bowers' most famous mural of them all:

(also found on page 144 of Tiki Modern)

It looks like Dee's cymbals...

...are replacing the gong that hung on the left side of the stage:

And it seems she is striking a similar pose than the three native basket bearers behind her.
Nice work, Dee!

Cabaret
volume 2 number 11
march 1957
http://martiantiki.com/cabaret-v2n11/

The reason I bought this issue was for the cover model Judy Bamber. She is best known for her film career in such classic movies as "the Atomic Brain" and "a Bucket of Blood."
She was also in the tv series "Hawaiian Eye"

This is an article on the Zamboanga club and its lead dancer Dee Evil. Obviously the photos are from the same source as the posts a few pages back - though clearly the Cabaret article is vastly more factual.

Great find! This supports what I said earlier here in another thread:

On top of a new generation with different musical tastes growing up, I believe the entertainment genre of the supper club where music and meals went together was gradually killed by the growing numbers and use of color television. More people stayed home more often. With a dwindling audience the venues could not support the cost, and the entertainers who could switched to appearances on the tube themselves.

The final devolution happened when TV-sets started appearing in bars....it now continues with invasion of the internet in the form of the I-phone, and Facebooking in bars.

And though we might think that to start having strip acts in supper clubs was a sign of devolution into a "seedier" genre of entertainment, it makes sense: WHAT was the only thing that TV could not offer to the adult audience?: Nudity and sex! That's the one thing where it could NOT compete with the nightclubs.

I'd love to get a better scan of that article.

I second that request for better scans. I'd love to "flesh" out some of the finer details of the decor of.......uhhhh......ehhhhh......Yeeeaaaaahhhhh.....what place were we talking about?

Martian-tiki provides all of his content in much higher-resolution...

http://martiantiki.com/cabaret-v2n11/

Yes, this was a significant find in documenting the history of the Zamboanga. Thanks Martian-tiki !!

It also shows that Martian-tiki's earlier related post in this thread wasn't just a one-off photo shoot.

Kind of puts Fantasy Island on Pico in a more relevant light from a historical devolution perspective, no? :)

(I don't know the issue information - spy-tiki do you?)
That's an interesting fish pattern mug in my opinion.

Nice stuff as always, martian-tiki. That tiki in the shadows of the "Pleasure Cruise" cover might be a Witco. Bigbro would know for sure.

Found another Zamboanga photo. This time the dancer is Libby Jones, and the photo is dated January 1956:

Nice find Sabu. Was that a press photo or out of an issue, or other, I'm curious how other people look for things?

Cabaret Queens Quarterly
Volume 13 Spring 1967
http://www.martiantiki.com/cabaret-queens-spr1967/

This issue has actresses Jayne Mansfield on cover and Mickey Jines as centerfold (why I bought it). Also a rehash of the article on the topless Tiki Kai from Modern Man July 1966. There are some differences between the two. (Both magazines were by the same publisher)

Also a profile of a Stardust Casino showgirl - considering "stardust" has 200 hits on tiki central it doesn't strike me as inappropriate to include. Also an article with a go-go dancer in a hula outfit.

The thread on the Tiki Kai which just got bumped due to the tragic lack of images - prompted me to scan this issue.

Lately I've been finding stuff on library, museum, and newspaper archive sites. That Zamboanga photo was from the Los Angeles Library archive, if I remember right.

Here's a recent piece by Ben Newman I found on the usenets:

Thanks Sabu...it's a painstaking siege, but all worth the hunt when you find photo or two
Like a mask in Rendezvous # 4

Or a Julie London LP in the Vixen 1961 Special Edition :wink:

All from this one mag, seems like it moved from a desert oasis theme to nautical/polynesian very quickly!

nice, is there year of issue on the last posted A frame?

Komohana, it's dated 1959.

Found a few more background items...

May 1962 - is it a Tiki or some other idol?

Sensation 1959 - shows great taste in the popular music of the time...

Martin Denny of course!

Looks like a maori tourist tiki, with one hand on it's belly and the other raised by it's head.

The elongated elipse shape of the Tiki in question looks kind of Balinese.

The original poly-cultural Tiki?

He's Back!

The “LUCKY TIKI” was clearly booked out in the 60's. Shown here before with other models in front of the same fireplace, he's a centerfold again. Oh the stories he could tell…

Modern Man Aug 66

This issue also includes Iris Bristol (BOT p.22)

and a Van Dercar article, touting his ability to "remain focused" on his work...must have been tough!

Wow - I've had that issue of modern man for a long time because an actress was in it and must not have opened it again since I've been posting here...Elizbeth Blake featured in that issue is actually Pat Barringer (or Pat Barrington) one of the most notable sexploitation actresses of the 1960s. Which just goes to show that an article that may not seem interesting at the time may turn out very interesting as one's interests evolve.
