Weekend Tiki Round-Up

Disney artists, Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily, curated a cool exhibit at the Anaheim Museum back in 1996 called Tiki: Native Drums in the Orange Grove, a survey of Polynesian Pop-style in Orange County California. Here's a virtual tour:

Swanky posted these cheesecake photos from the 1963 issue of Cavalier Magazine, that feature a blonde mainland secretary loosening up and doin' the Naughty Hula with a bunch of native Hawaiian girls. Hey, watch where you put those lovely hula hands, buddy!

Finally, leave it to my buddy Vern to find both a map of the Pacific made out of SPAM and an adulterous link between Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz, and Tiki.

Do you mean "Bloglines"? No, I don't block images for Bloglines.

Looks like you were using Beta Bloglines, which was blocked in my .htaccess file. Should be fixed now.

I recommend against doing topless hula dancers unless it's a very progressive nursery school...;-)
