The dream of pure freedom in the South Pacific islands has never
died on the mainland; sometimes it's more of an ache than a dream.
Over time and through the mill of popular culture, the dream has
been distilled into two enduring images: the hula dancer and the
tiki god. This book displays over 500 color images of collectible
hula dancers and tiki gods with which readers can have a little
exotic fun and maybe catch a tropical thrill along the way. The
hula dance provided an escape in its original culture, and here the
dancers are shown in sections devoted to flat images,
three-dimensions, crank girls, and Hollywood's versions from the
twentieth century. The tiki gods that 1960s surfers wore for luck
around their necks may have deeper meanings as well, and became the
most important symbol of cool adulthood that mainland youngsters
could imagine. Here lamps, figures, posters, and souvenirs all come
together for entertainment and enjoyment. All dreamers of tropical
pleasures will covet copies of this book to linger over. And the
values guide will bring them quickly and happily back to reality.
