Bon Weekend!

Ask me anything   The 1960s and sixties style. Just the good bits.

The Polynesian craze swept America in the 1950s. With the 1959 publication of James A. Michener’s “Hawaii,” movies and Broadway musicals like “South Pacific” and “The King & I,” Tiki gods and other South Seas decor were soon found in bamboo bars and Trader Vics, a restaurant franchise still found in Chicago, Los Angeles, and other locations.

Marwal Industries, Inc. offered a wide variety of plaster of Paris statuary, among which were several variations of head and shoulder busts of Polynesian/Hawaiian woman/girls and men/boys until the late 1960s.

Oh hello there!

I can get a little distracted at times, and at other times I just forget to log on to this account because, no lie, I have three. =( 
Tonight I purchased a length of false hair and some hairnets and I’m going to make myself a puffy thing to sneak inside my beehive for MASSIVE GAINS!!!! I will document the process for history and post it up here. I will also try to get my queue up and running again.
