Got Tiki?

[Tomasso]

I got an invite to an upcoming rum tasting at the venerable Mai-Kai in Ft.Lauderdale. Sadly, I won't be in town.

So a couple of weeks ago, I thought of hosting a tiki party here in Juneau, and from day one I've had nothing but apathy to the whole thing... apathy! Like all of them couldn't care about a tiki party... the nerve!

Call it a "kegger" and see what the response is.

Lovely ephemera collection FM! I'm not terribly into the torches either, unless a lit cocktail counts as one

Decodoll, I see you're from RI. Have you been to a place called "The Islander" in Warwick? The drink menu seems stardard tiki, but I can't find any interior shots of the place. If I bring my family there and there is no tiki-themed room, they'll be underwhelmed and mopey.

Can anyone report on The Islander? I'm a RHODE Islander, but didn't know the place existed!

Don't know anything about the Islander in Warwick, but last summer I made this screen print of the Stockton, California Islander sign:

The gloss varnish over the black did not photograph well.

Did the Hawaiin thing for the kids' birthday in July. The torches have since become a happy addition to our backyard and garden area.

Love em. Then there is the annual Tiki Torch replacement ritual

I must admit I have some fairly good citronella burning ones now.

I Got Tiki

Love the screen print Modern Life

I been collecting and planning for a Tiki Lounge for a long time I have some vintage mugs as well as some new, I have rattan, I even have a black velvet conch shell player painting. I also have made some of my own pieces mostly birdbaths but have also made some other ceramic ware. Lots of you folks have some fabulous things.

Ah,.. the Mai-Kai in Ft. Lauderdale. Used to live down there. Been to that place a few times. Vague memories of having had wonderful fun.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

HA! Feraud beat me to the button!

Hopefully there will be some lovely parting gifts for me backstage... lol

 

[Feraud]

We have a nice set of vintage luggage as a parting gift HPG. Hope you enjoyed playing "Who is That Avatar!"

Home Tiki Bar

I thought you all might get a kick out of the latest addition to the "Waikiki Womb" my home Tiki Room.
This is the small intimate bar area I built up in what was the original home owner's darkroom from the 1930s that is off from the larger Tiki Room.
The bar is entered through a door disguised as a mug rack recreating a 1930s hidden speakeasy.
As you enter the bar is on the right and to the left is a small cozy booth.
Here is the ʻOna ʻAluʻAlu bar in the Waikiki Womb.

That's some professional grade tiki, Murph. Tiki to the tenth power. I love it!!

Thanks for sharing the photos. Made me smile the whole time I was studying them. :eusa_clap

 

[TheModernLife]

Murph, that is AWESOME. The green chairs/booth really seal the deal. How long did that take to perfect?

The Islander in Warwick, RI

I went the other day expecting a fun place for lunch. It wasn't 'tiki' at all. In fact, it really had NO atmosphere whatsoever!

Hi all,
I've been lurking here for about a month & figured it's finally time to get my feet wet so here's a few pictures of our guest room which my wife has dubbed the enchanted tiki room. We moved to Moscow, Idaho from San Diego seven years ago and set up this room to remind us of warmer climates. With the exception of the upholstery on the rattan chair everything was either inherited or acquired at thrift stores or antique stores with the guiding principle being everything must be CHEAP (we are very thrifty people). My latest find was the desk ($65) and desk lamp ($8). I really like the display shelves on the desk which allow me to display some of my overflow Hawaiiana. I'm new to this picture posting so I hope I can get them to display.
