tikijoeusaf,

Here is an example of a thread that discusses the advantages and pitfalls of mainstreaming tiki to the masses.

The story did run a few weeks later and was relatively successful in portraying three different aspects of tiki genre, lifestyle and collecting.

Again, note the reporter wanted to write the story because "Tiki is a hot trend right now".

This story was written almost one year ago and to my knowledge, there has been no subsequent stories or follow-up to the one written. If tiki was such a "hot trend" as the reporter said in her email to me and a few others here, we should have seen more than just one story on the subject. Here is the thread:

I'm not sure how many copies of the Book of Tiki or Tiki Modern were printed and sold? Perhaps bigbro could shed some light on this. Maybe that is a better yardstick of participation from the masses?

Sorry to dig up this old thread, just trying to illustrate a point!
