The Air-Conditioned Eden

Thursday, January 25, 2018

Not feeling well at all so I took a sick day today. Found a short yet overall comprehensive documentary on youTube titled The Air-Conditioned Eden - a British show from 1996 documenting the rise, fall, and beginnings of the resurrection  of tiki culture in the U.S. A lot has happened in the 20+ years since.

Clips of interviews with author James Michener, musician and exotica guru Martin Denny, a young Sven Kirsten, and artist/anthropologist Jeffrey Vallance make this make this essential viewing for the tiki aficionado. Would love for there to be an expanded version of this.

Shag - Wahine Wednesday

Shag is one of my favorite tiki artists. Oh hell, he's just one of my favorite artists in general. Whimsical and fun, he helps keep the spirit of mid-century America alive.
