Quick, to the Tikicom!
Markus Rothkranz is an artist/filmaker who's shopping around a very cool television concept called Atomic City, a show set in the mythical town of Lost Vegas that contains just about every imaginable retro-fetish from the '50s and '60s including googie architecture, space-age bachelor pads, pin-up girls, spy movies, UFO-ology, kustom-kar kulture, and tiki. The show is also awash in celebrity impersonators like Tom Jones lookalike Harmik, and the show's star, Matt Lewis, who passes himself off nightly as Elvis at the Imperial Palace Casino in the real Las Vegas. I sure hope Markus finds some financial backing, 'cuz I definitely want to watch this show.
Check out the official Atomic City webpage for more images and a sample video clip.

Yeah, that Pamela Anderson clone looks really retro, if overdone 90s-era plasticized women are considered retro.

swanky: and she's got cherry-glazed donuts!
brittanie: I agree. The Pam clone is the weakest link in the show. They at least could have made her look like Jeanne Shrimpton or Tura Satana.
