Does that mean they have actual Tikis (in whatever form) in the print? Just wondering if I should make the trip to the Galleria... (I was not going to repeat my motto, but what the heck, EVERYBODY, just repeat after me: "IF IT SAYS TIKI ON IT, IT SHOULD HAVE TIKI IN IT!")

Hey Bigbro! That would make a great motto for Tiki Condoms.

Slogan: It's not a Woody, it's a Tiki! ...hey, they could double as party balloons! Oh no, what am I saying...somebody might actually do that... :( just what the Tiki revival needed...TIKI CONDOMS! ..but back to my original question:

I bought this beach towel because they only had ONE left in this design. They had at least 6 with the other pattern. Tiki has TIKI IN IT! I failed to mention the pretty hibiscus blossoms too, now didn't I...

In our store they were in two areas. One near bedding, and the one I picked up was draped over a chair with the tropical stuff on display. Bwana...Thanks for the pics. The second photo is the bright towel I mentioned, the first one I didn't see. Maybe there's more designs...who knows.

I got the Tiki Surf Club (with the Tiki from the Trader Vic menu BOT p.90) one, though it's fabric is super thin, just like my fave, the Tiki Mug one (the last one posted), which I think has really cool modern Tiki designs. Can't complain for 9.- bucks! Then I got a thicker one, called Riki Tiki. It cost more, and the Tikis are a little "off" in a naive way, but it has a nice Tiki border... PLUS they had a swimming pool scene with cartoony characters where the girl in the foreground and the whole concept reek of Shag!

Of course there are no Mervyns close to me and the web site has no towels at all for them! :( Oh well. Maybe I could talk the Wahine into the 135mi drive for 3 beach towels? :wink: Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks - Lin Yutang [ Edited by: Dimethios on 2004-04-08 18:47 ]
