My last find to share is this incredibly gorgeous Emma Domb black chiffon dress I stumbled upon. It is in incredible condition but sadly won't fit me. I'm still debating if I should sell it or keep it for the possible thinner me. I would love to be able to wear it to the Viva Las Vegas weekender but I'm not sure I could drop 8 inches before then.</div>

We ended up sleeping in as we had waaaayyy too much fun Friday night. We got up, Dave helped Gil work on the shorty van and afterwards we went to a few of our favorite San Diego thrift shops. We had some lunch at home to spare some costs and then headed to Tiki Oasis. The car show was in full swing when we arrived.<br />

I expected there to be more "space" themed vehicles and this one came the closest to that genre. It was built in 2013 and is called a "decopod". It was designed specifically for the current owner by Automotive artist Randy Grubb. The body was entirely scratch built and installed over a modified three-wheeled Piaggio "MP3" 250CC scooter. It is ofter referred to as "Flash Gordon's personal mobility device". In 2014 the decopod appeared in an episode of "Jay Leno's Garage", in which Jay rode the scooter and called it "wonderful" and "stupid fun".</div>

There were so many amazing vendors this year! Sadly because we started our day late we didn't make it to the outside vendors in time before they started closing shop. I was really bummed out I didn't get a chance to view what they had brought. Poor planning on my part. I figured we would be back Sunday......which did not happen after all.</div>

I was so happy I got a chance to say hello to Nancy and Dana! See you two at Tiki Day in a few days! I got distracted as the kiddie costume show started and didn't get a chance to look at their wonderful goods. Nancy did notice I was sporting one of her amazing Fancy Fruits tiki hair flowers which I purchased on my last shopping trip in Burbank, CA. Be sure to visit Nancy's Etsy store <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FancyFruits" target="_blank">here</a> and Dana's Miss Moss Vintage Shops Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/missmostess" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

We went home to eat dinner, cool down, and change before returning to the Hanelei for some more Tiki Oasis fun. Dave wore a terry cloth lined top I thrifted him earlier this year. I wore a recent muumuu I thrifted in San Diego that very weekend. It was nice to relax and change because it was so hot and humid that weekend.</div>

The buttons, tiki earrings, matching tiki drummer brooches and Ouija bracelet were all purchased in the Tiki Marketplace at Tiki Oasis. I thrifted the fish brooch and bought the kitty brooch from Frock You Boutique. I love love love my Litewood Enchanted Tiki Room drummer brooches and have worn them every chance I get. Be sure to check out their website <a href="http://matchaccessories.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. My Ouija bracelet is from Ms. Formaldehyde.

My last souvenir to share is probably the most special one since it was purchased at the same place where David proposed to me, The Bali Hai. Isn't their latest mug the coolest. It's a combination of Mr. Bali Hai and the Goof on the Roof. So pleased with this purchase.</div>

We arrived late Wednesday night and spent our stay there with friends, and most excellent hosts, Gil and Cimmaron. We are so grateful to have such thoughtful and amazing friends. <br />
<br />
This year, since I was so caught up with catching up with friends and seeing as many friends as I could see while I was here, I unfortunately did not take as many photos of the performances, amazing bands, and incredibly cool costumes that were flooded throughout Tiki Oasis. So my blogs (there will be two) will be more about my experiences and memories of spending time with our friends while attending the event. I promise, the internet and Instagram are not at a loss of incredible pictures from this year's event.<br />
<br />
We started Thursday morning out at one of our favorite old haunts; Rudford's Restaurant located in North Park. The 24 hour diner has been opened since 1949 and has a long history in San Diego. It has been a favorite of mine as the decor hasn't changed much since it opened and they do it right by playing oldies tunes only!! Nothing turns me off more when the music does not fit the theme or atmosphere of the restaurant.<br />

This photo was taken by a local San Diego teenager on June 6th, 1963 when our 35th President, John F. Kennedy, was visiting San Diego. The photo was taken when the President was on his way to give a commencement address to 2,097 graduates at the 65th commencment ceremony of San Diego State college. It would only be 169 days later than the beloved President was assassinated riding in a similar parage through Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas.</div>

After a big hearty breakfast we spent the rest of the morning visiting some of our favorite thrift and vintage shops in San Diego. Jonny pointed out the vintage Esquire magazines to me and I definitely had to have them. I have been uploading some of the fantastic advertising and other content on my Instagram account. These are in excellent condition and still have the pinup foldouts intact! Some are done by George Petty and Al Moore. I will share those soon!</div>

The very hot day required some frozen refreshments! I of course insisted we all get Dole Whips at the cart that is located in Belmont Park. Sadly I discovered this cart two months before I moved. I wish I had known it was in town sooner. I surely would have required Dave take me there every night for dessert. Now if I could only convince one of the Hawaiian restaurants here in Southern Oregon to carry Dole Whip! Seriously this stuff is so addicting!</div>

After a fun day of driving around San Diego with Jonny and Vanessa, we headed back to Gil and Cimmaron's house to get ready for the Meet and Mingle night at the Bali Hai. I did my hair up with a slight bouffant. (I'm working on perfecting this hairstyle and with the goal of getting it bigger and bigger each time).</div>

We are Bali Hai ready! I wore the last dress I purchased before moving away from San Diego from Frock You Boutique, my favorite vintage shop in San Diego. Dave wore a tiki shirt I thrifted in Medford and the Captain's hat he recently purchased from an antiques shop in Grants Pass. He was lucky enough to have found the white linen pants the day prior while thrifting of course.</div>

We had dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town before heading to the Bali Hai. Miguel's Cocina has been one of my favorite restaurants ever since I first moved to San Diego. My sister was the one that introduced me to their amazing jalepeno white sauce which they serve with the chips. Seriously this stuff alone warrants a visit to their restaurant. My sister and I used to fill up on chips and the dip and then order an a la carte item off the menu! If you live in San Diego you can also find their amazing white sauce in local grocery stores. Oh how I envy you!!</div>

The Meet and Mingle was interesting compared to years past. I think part of the difference was we didn't get there as early as we have in the past. I think Dave and I have been pretty diligent about arriving around 6pm or sooner. This year we were caught up in enjoying our time and conversation with friends. We didn't arrive to the restaurant until a little past 8pm and were greeting by a huge line to get our registration bracelets for the weekend. We waiting in line a little under and hour! It went by fast as we had good conversations with those in line with us and made some new tiki friends in the process as well. Once inside we tried to find a good spot that was near the stage and made it just in time to watch The Tikiyaki Orchestra take the stage. (again sorry no photos) They were amazing as always. Dave and the guys patiently waiting in line for drinks as Cimm and I watched the show. The outisde crowd ended up being to much for us so we ventured up into the restaurant to see if we could possibly find a shorter drink line and maybe a place to sit down.</div>

Because our BBQ ran a little later we ended up getting to Tiki Oasis just in time to see The Phenomenauts take the stage. We spent the remainder of the evening sitting poolside and visiting with old and new friends. It was a blast and I will admit we slightly overdid it as it made for an interesting Saturday. (I swear I make this mistake every year). </div>

It came out in conversation with our friend Gil that he had been an extra, playing a henchman, for the film "3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain" filmed in 1998. He had a few scenes with Hulk Hogan and Loni Anderson. Pretty crazy!! I got a little star struck and had to take a photo with him :)</div>

My grandpa used to own a military Jeep just like this one. He used to wear his Indiana Jones style hat and take us grandkids for a joyride on his property which was located in Mariposa, CA. He earned his nickname Indiana Gramps because of this of course. My Dad ended up taking the Jeep from him, which my Dad just recently passed onto his brother, my Uncle, who would likely get more use out of it than my Dad was.<br />

Suz - What was your very first introduction to tiki/Polynesian pop?</div>
<br />
Christine - My very first introduction to tiki culture was my mother and father taking me to Disneyland when I was three years old. They took me to see the Enchanted Tiki Room and I was so amazed and excited. I remember my mother saying that I thought that all the birds, tikis, and flowers were real. It was such a magical experience. I still love going there and seeing the Tiki Room show. It's very nostalgic and hasn't been changed in all these years.<br />

<br />
Suz - Please describe your artwork. (Style, materials, etc...)<br />
<br />
Christine - My work is very whimsical, fun, colorful and magical. I love to create my own world and tell stories with my characters - robots, space girls, aliens, sock monkeys, tikis and other imaginative creatures. I usually work in acrylic paint on canvas or wood and I also create art dolls created with mixed media such as polymer clay, drift wood, fabric needle felted wool, etc.<br />

<br />
Suz - Where do you garner your inspiration for your artwork from?<br />
<br />
Christine - I'm inspired by many things. Old monsters and Sci-Fi movies, vintage fashion, comic books, fairytale stories, and music.<br />
<br />
Suz - Are there any specific icons that truly inspire you?<br />
<br />
Christine - Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Sophia Loren, Goldie Hawn, and Grace Jones just to name a few.<br />

<br />
Suz - When did you start making and selling your tiki art?<br />
<br />
Christine - I started making and selling my Tiki art in 2012 at The South Shore Tiki Lounge in Maui. I had a solo Tiki show there.<br />
<br />
Suz - What has been your most favorite piece you have created?<br />
<br />
Christine - One of my favorite pieces is a painting that I created called "Batty's Midnight Ride". It's a little vampire beatnik girl named Batty riding in her dune buggy on the beach and she has her surfboard with her and her bat friend is flying by her side. It's dark out and there is a full moon. I really like this piece because of the characters and the composition of the piece. I enjoy telling stories with my imagery and invite the viewer to come up with their own stories.<br />
<br />
Suz - What is one aspect of your art or being a part of the Tiki art community that you are truly proud of?<br />
<br />
Christine - I'm proud of being a part of the Tiki art community because there are so many great artists in the Tiki scene and it's a very fun community to take part in.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have a favorite event you sell your art at and why is it your favorite?<br />
<br />
Christine - I haven't sold at a bunch of different Tiki events, so I would say Tiki Oasis is my favorite to sell at. I like it because it's like a four day non-stop party and I've met so many super nice people and fellow artists.<br />
<br />
Suz - Are there any other events you hope to vend at in the near future that you haven't previously vended at?<br />
<br />
Christine - I would like to vend at some of the Tiki events such as Tiki Caliente, Tiki Kon, and the International Tiki Market Place.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have any words of wisdom to anyone starting a business selling art or more specifically selling art within the tiki community?<br />
<br />
Christine - I would always say to anyone that wants to start selling in the Tiki community to first to go the events and check them out as a patron. <br />
<br />
If you are visiting Tiki Oasis 2015 in San Diego next week (August 13th through the 16th), be sure to stop by the Hula Hut - Lanai Suite 2, located at the Crowne Plaza, as Christine will have her art, dolls, and other merchandise available for sale.<br />

Well here is my very late Tiki Oasis 2014 blog. Two weeks after Tiki Oasis last year Dave and I packed up all of our precious belongings (we have too many) and headed north to our final destination of Medford, Oregon. I'm using this big move, having to look for a new place to live, new job, and dealing with the possibility of a wild fire burning down my parent's house as my excuses for not getting this blog out sooner. I was also recently inspired to do so after cleaning up my cell phone to make room for more data space (i'll have a belated Honeymoon in Hawaii blog headed your way soon too).<br />
<br />
The events started out at the Bali Hai for the opener and meet and mingle. Not pictured is the fantastic band that kicked off the night Ixtahuele (I believe it's pronounced Zi-ta-who-lee).<br />

This year Dave and I attending two symposiums as well as the Charles Phoenix Slideshow presentation on Sunday. Below is one of my favorite San Diego bands "Creepxotica" providing the backgound music for the Yma Sumac symposium hosted by the charming and hilarious El Vez. He even used me as a prop (displaying I was a strong woman by sitting on my lap) at one point which truly tickled me especially since he was describing Yma Sumac at that very moment. Rachel DeShon sang along with Creepxotica between El Vez's remarks and historical notations about the songbird diva. She did an amazing job! If I remember correctly the songs she sang were "Bo Mambo", "Goomba Bomba" and "Gopher Mambo". My memory is a bit fuzzy because I was enjoying my complimentary cocktail, a sneaky tiki, which was provided by Tiki Amy of Bar Pink.</div>

Love me some go-go dancing from the lovely Devilettes! Seeing them perform on stage reminds me of the thrill I had when I was younger and performed with my dance class. I wish I lived closer to San Francisco, which is where the dance troop hails from, as I would have most definitely tried out for them when they had open auditions a few months back. Congratulations to the newest Devilettes!!</div>

Up next, we attended the "American Disney Animator with Roland "Rolly" Fargo Crump" symposium. I was especially excited to attend this symposium as Mr. Rolly Crump is most famous as being one of the very first imagineers with the Disney Company and was the man behind many of the concepts and visuals that you see at the Enchanted Tiki Room, It's a Small World and has a few pieces from his "Museum of the Weird" are in the Haunted Mansion. </div>

His conversation about his artwork also included a slideshow which featured his "Beatnik" artwork which he created in the 1950s and 1960s. It was an incredible symposium and I'm glad I got to hear the history of his work from the Rolly himself. I had actually sat at a table next to Rolly and his co-host Jeff Heimbuch earlier that day for breakfast and they were delighted to see I was wearing my Enchanted Tiki Room print dress. I just wish I hadn't been too shy to ask for a photo with him.</div>

After the symposium we hung out with our friends Daren and Ken in their room which had a fantastic view of the pool and the outside tiki markeplace. By this point of the day the pool was packed!</div>

After spending an hour relaxing we went back downstairs to eat some dinner at the Hunter Steakhouse with Ken and Daren. Unfortunately we found out that while we were gone we missed seeing Charles Phoenix doing his interviews near the car show which included him wanting to speak to us about our car. Woops! After dinner we headed back to the Hanalei. We have made it a tradition to sit poolside during the night shows. We still get somewhat of a view and can hear everything that is going on stage. Here I am with my dear friend Angie. For many of my friends this would be our last time seeing them before we moved to Oregon.</div>

After catching up with friends and catching up on some more drinks we headed to the room parties! We actually only ended up going into Tiki Hell as the rest of the rooms were very packed by this point. We learned recently that Tiki Hell will not be hosting a room party this year. We are bummed as this has become a favorite in our past Tiki Oasis'.</div>

Sunday morning we got up and got to the Hanalei early to check out the sales at the tiki marketplace as well as check out the Tiki Oasis art show. I am in love with this piece done by AtomicKitty aka Susannah Mosher which has inspirations from Margaret Keane crossed with the film "Bell, Book, Candle" staring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart. Simply fantastic! The Doug Horne "Beat Chick" painting below it was another favorite. There were so many fantastic pieces on display last year. I can't wait to see what the artists present for this year's theme "Yesterday's Future, Today".</div>

We arrived at the hotel on Friday night around 6pm after a five hour drive from Medford, OR. We got quickly settled into our room and changed as quickly as we could to join in the fun. This year's theme was "Tiki Kon Air" or a throw back to flying in style in the 1960s. Instead of a wrist band we got a passport to wear around our necks that we could get stamped with each event we attended, vendor we purchased from, and symposium we attended. </div>

We wore our latest matching honeymooners set which were both purchased from the southern Oregon area. I found the dress at a local thrift shop and then found Dave the matching shirt on eBay from a seller who happened to be located one town over from us. I'm convinced these were originally a set that were temporarily separated and we brought them back together.</div>

Here is a view of our balcony. We shared a room with our friend Daren and he had brought two of his recently purchased Tiki Diablo tikis as well as excellent lighting to use as Lanai Swag. Not pictured from the evening performances are The Satin Chaps. I was dancing my tushy off hence no photos. I ended up purchasing their CD and have had it in the car now for almost two weeks.</div>

Not pictured is when we had dinner with Daren and his wonderful parents Susan and Bob. After dinner we headed back to the hotel to watch the evening's performances. I wore one of my DeWeese Design dresses and Dave wore his incredible tiki themed blazer which I spotted for him at a vintage shop when we were in Portland last year. The tiki tie was a birthday gift from me.</div>

The highlight performance of the weekend's events was the Roy and Marina Anderson of Ronin Taiko performance. This was Marina and her husband Rob's first time performing their Japanese wadaiko and fire show to a tiki crowd. It was an amazing performance!</div>

We had such a great time and look forward to attending Tiki Kon in the future. The event is like a mini version of Tiki Oasis and is much more intimate of a gathering. We are so happy there is a tiki event near to us here in the Pacific Northwest! The countdown for next year begins!</div>

This was also the first time I was introduced to Tiki Tony Murphy and his amazingly imaginative artwork. My initial first reaction was "this guy is too cool". I ended up purchasing one of his carved tiki pendants and have tried to make it a tradition to purchase one every time I see him at various events he vends. I was also extremely happy to find that he had created a mug for Bar Pink, located in the North Park district of San Diego, CA, and was quick to add it to my collection. Below is my interview with Tiki Tony himself!</div>

Suz - What was your very first introduction to Tiki/Polynesian Pop?<br />
<br />
Tony - When I was 17 I met Alene and she had a Coco Joe's type resin Tiki in her bedroom that was from her dad from the 1960s. I was really interested in surfing and started the year before, so Hawaii and surfing and Tiki just all clicked with me. And at age 15 me and my friends were wearing old Hawaiian shirts we got from thrift stores.<br />

<br />
Suz - Where do you garner your inspiration for your artwork from?<br />
<br />
Tony - I grew up with a lot of old National Geographic magazines and I always loved the old illustrations in the ads. The 1940s through the 1960s have some of the best illustrators. I also grew up reading MAD magazine and I love Dr. Seuss, Tim Burton, Mary Blair as well as Shag and Derek Yaniger.<br />

<br />
Suz - Are there any specific icons that truly inspire you?<br />
<br />
Tony - Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room, as well as the posters and visual art advertising of the attractions also inspire me. Thor Heyerdahl's book "Kon-tiki" is a huge inspiration. I read that when I was twenty and loved how we weaved history, adventure and folk lore into a story.<br />

<br />
<br />
Suz - When did you start making and selling your tiki art?<br />
<br />
Tony - I carved my first tiki when I was 18 or so and my dad sold the first one on eBay or a swap meet and then some friends bought one. I sold a bunch of them at a swap meet in Ventura, CA and someone told me about Tiki Central. That was August 2002. After meeting that community of people my eyes really opened up. I was introduced to Sven Kirsten's "Book of Tiki", which has been my biggest influence of all. It's a cohesive history of how WWII soldiers stationed in the South Pacific brought back tikis and opened bars and restaurants with a tropical theme.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you remember which piece of art was the very first item you sold?<br />
<br />
Tony - Yes it was a crudely carved piece of driftwood that was more driftwood than tiki. Haha! But it was kind of cool because it looked like an old tiki that had aged.<br />
<br />

<br />
Suz - What is one aspect of your art or being apart of the Tiki art community that you are truly proud of?<br />
<br />
Tony - One of the best things about the Tiki community is the people. Most of them are creative and have great ideas. It's fun to make artwork for creative people and see how they display it in a fun and interesting way. Many of them have a Tiki room or bar where they get to create their own environment.<br />
<br />
Also since my very first tiki mug in 2006, my wife and I have been working together on mugs. Over the last few years she has been making all of the mugs. We sculpt the designs together based on my characters and she hand glazes each one so perfectly and precise that they are truly a work of art alone.<br />

<br />
Suz - Tell me about how a piece of your driftwood artwork became a part of the Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar?<br />
<br />
Tony - I was asked to be in an art show in Anaheim by Tom Laura aka Big Toe. The theme of the show was shrunken heads so I made a painting for it. Just before leaving I grabbed another painting last minute. Brandon Kayla, a Disney Imagineer and set decorator, just happen to be at that show and bought the artwork I grabbed last minute because it fit the theme of Trader Sam's. It was an islander in a tiki mask capturing a safari guy and a guy with a fez who are tied up. The guy in the tiki mask theoretically could be Trader Sam. The characters are a simplify boxy kind of cartoon modern style. After Brandon bought the piece we became friends through Facebook and he purchased more items for the Trader Sam's in Florida. I think there are four or five mugs a wall mask and a small whale painting in the Florida's Trader Sam's of mine.<br />

Suz - Do you have a favorite event you sell your art at and why is it your favorite?<br />
<br />
Tony - Tiki Oasis in San Diego is the ultimate tiki event. It's put on by Otto Von Stroheim and it's a huge gathering of creative people who are into vintage tiki culture. Seeing everyone dressed in vintage tiki shirts and dresses is the closest thing to a time machine we will come to. It's also the biggest show that we do all year long. Second to that is the International Tiki Marketplace at Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach, put on by Chris and Karen Garland. It's every six weeks and has been a consistent and great show for us to showcase our latest mugs and artwork.<br />

<br />
Suz - Are there any other events you hope to vend at in the near future that you haven't previously vended at?<br />
<br />
Tony - I would like to attend most of the tiki events like Tiki Kon up north and Luau by the Lake in Lake George, New York. We also just came back from Florida from the Hukilau which was a lot of fun. We are actually going to focus more on our online sales and shipping orders out this coming year and maybe do less events.<br />

<br />
Suz - What new mugs and or other new Tiki Tony art can we look forward to from you in the future?<br />
<br />
Tony - I'm looking forward to doing more of my Disney inspired artwork as well as prints that will be available on our new website. We are also expanding our mug making productions so we can supply tiki bars and restaurants, that I have relationships with, with a mug designed by me but made outside of our studio. Alene will continue to make our high-end art mugs, but we will just have a different version for restaurants and bars.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have any words of wisdom to anyone starting a business selling art or more specifically selling art within the tiki community?<br />
<br />
Tony - The only thing I can say is learn as much as you can about the history of whatever you're doing and be authentic and true to yourself. If you are entertaining yourself, most likely other people will be interested. Whenever I'm making something new I always try to make something that I would be interested in. Not everything will be a success and you have to learn to roll with the swells. For the few things that sell well, I have dozens of things that never sparked anyone's interest. The best advice I have is to play and have fun and if you are having fun, others will want to join. Making artwork is more about the community of people who support it than the piece itself. I'm always stoked to have a new fan, but I absolutely love seeing people come back to purchase mugs or even a pendant a second or third time. Repeat customers truly become friends and family because they influence me with their stories and displays.<br />

Here is my handsome hubby all dressed up and wedding ready. Note his cool vintage fleck coat directly behind him. Later on I would accidentally spill beer on this coat (so happy it was beer and not red wine). Dave is still getting used to my clumsy ways. So glad he was able to get it out and it didn't damage the piece. Woops!</div>

Having their first dance to "Happy" by Pharrell. Such a fun song choice for a first dance! Later on Aunt Carol was trying to get everyone on the dance floor and she said something that I absolutely loved. "Everybody can dance. You just gotta get our there and do it!". I loved meeting more of Dave's extended family.</div>

We ended the evening with a small drive to a nearby town, Jacksonville, and had dinner at our favorite German restaurant Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus Brewhaus. The next day we woke up bright and early and went for a mini road trip with Debbie. We drove through Ashland and then took Highway 60 on towards Klamath Falls. Below are Dave and I posing in front of the Klamath Lake.<br />

The menu offered many of the traditional or standards you might see served at any touristy Luau or Polynesian revue. It sort of brings to mind the menu at L&L Barbecue. To view a better close up the their menu, please check out this link to Yesterland.com <a href="http://www.yesterland.com/tahitianmenu.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Those prices rock! Notice the Monte Cristo is available for $1.50!<br />

Sadly in 1993 the Tahitian Terrace was removed and the Aladdin's Oasis show replaced it. They offered dinner and a performance from Aladdin. Today this area is used as extra space, and on occasion they have character greetings from Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Genie. One of my favorite things about this area as it's a great shaded area to eat lunch as it's become a forgotten spot in the last few years. I love the area music here; it's an Arabian take on some standard pop and oldie hits! I wish Disneyland would bring back the Tahitian Terrace. With the growing popularity of the Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki bar this would be surely be a missed opportunity if they don't in fact revive the restaurant to its original attraction.</div>

A few month's back there was an amazing auction presented by Van Eaton Galleries which featured Disneyana or early Disneyland park merchandise. Despite not having the funds to purchase anything in this auction I was quick to purchase the catalog (for $30) as I knew this would be a great source in the future to price point any vintage Disneyland items I currently own and items I may come across in my thrifting and antiquing adventures. The catalog is still available for purchase <a href="http://vegalleries.com/storyofdisneyland.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

There were so many fantastic items from Adventureland available and many amazing items from the Enchanted Tiki Room and Tahitian Terrace. Below is a dress worn by a hostess at the Tahitian Terrace which sold for $3,500.<br />

Last week I was looking up barkcloth dresses on eBay and stumbled onto a listing for a dress that was made with the same material as the Tahitian Terrace hostess dress as shown above. I couldn't believe my luck! It was priced under $50 and was advertised as my size. I made the purchase and anxiously awaited its arrival.</div>

Sadly the sleeves are too tight for my arms. I am going to wait it out a year and see if my recently added diet and exercise plan will make a difference. If after a year it still doesn't fit my arms, then I will likely pay someone to help me restructure the dress so that it will fit me properly. I was hoping to wear this to Tiki Oasis this year. We shall see. I still have over two months to work on it. This gives me even more of a reason to hit the gym everyday!</div>

The park however is only opened on a seasonal schedule due to the cold winter weather and I have been waiting for the warmer weather to arrive so that I could attend the park. My parents and I thought it would be so much fun to plan a day to take my niece to the park.<br />

The park was opened on August 8th, 1971 as a small roadside attraction which initially just featured a Storybook themed walk through with concrete depictions of various fabled classics. The park's founder, Roger Tofte, felt that there was little a family could do in Salem and thus his vision was formed. The initial construction of the park was designed and built by Roger and his family and it would take seven years, after the purchase of the 20 acres of property, for the park to be opened to the public. He and his family are all still actively involved with the park's operations and have helped in the expansion of other attractions throughout the years. All of the music you hear throughout the park was originally composed by Tofte's daughter and the addition of the comedic stage performance was also inspired and built for his daughter Susan who writes and directs all of their performances. Roger's son Ken is responsible for the animatronic<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e1444; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px;"> </span>additions in the park which were added in the early 80's.</div>

There are several aspects of this park that bear a very familiar appearance to some of the attractions that are at Disneyland. It is pretty apparent that Roger Tofte was inspired by the Disney parks. The aura of kitsch is present throughout the park. Below is an example. Doesn't this forced perspective sleeping beauty look familiar?!</div>

Humpty Dumpty is definitely one of the park's most treasured concrete characters. Last year Humpty Dumpty lived up to his fable and fell off the wall (due to two guest's defying incompetence) however Roger Tofte proved what no king's horses and no men could do; he put him back together again. Well, a brand new one at that.</div>

The haunted house was all originally constructed onsite. There were rumors that the house was a real life haunted mansion that was brought to the property; however Mr. Tofte is quick to disprove this rumor stating that he built it from the ground up. We did not venture in as I knew, based on YouTube videos, that this was more of jump out at you and scare you kind of attraction which is something I'm really not a fan of at all. Besides, no haunted house will ever top the Disneyland Haunted Mansion for me!</div>

On our drive home we stopped in Eugene for dinner at McMenamins North which is home of the Kapu Hut. This is the closests tiki bar to Dave and I. It's a good three hour drive away unfortunately so we don't make it up here often. I ordered their ahi poke with wonton chips, a kalua pork slider, and a cup of their special tiki punch which was being served as a part of their special birthday menu as the restaurant was celebrating their 15th year in opperation. I sadly did not get more photos of the bar as we were in a rush to head home as it was getting late and we had a toddler in tow. We will definitely be back as I am still craving more of that ahi poke!</div>

Here is one of the few photos I took of inside the restaurant. It's definitely worth a stop if you are ever passing through Eugene. My suggestions however, for the tiki bar are less african art, more exotic music (All I heard were top 40's pop music playing), offer a custom mug option with one of your drinks, and more artwork from the tiki community!</div>

I found out about the event initially through Yelp.com of all places. I was in search of a Tiki Bar in San Diego and came across reviews for the annual gathering which, little did I know, took place right in my backyard. The event has become a climax for each year for me and I look forward to the event all year long, count down the days, and outfit plan. I can't tell you how many times I use the excuse "I could wear this to Tiki Oasis" when making vintage or thrift purchases. I went on a whim, met some incredible gals, and had an amazing first experience. I felt like I was at home and right where I needed to me with people who shared in my same passion! It's an event I love to share and invite newcomers to join every year since first attending. I volunteered for my first time last year and loved having a hand (as little as it was) to helping contribute to this amazing event. The event is the brain child of Otto and Baby Doe von Stroheim. They put so much time and effort into creating this spectacular tiki extravaganza. Below is my interview with Baby Doe in which she shares some incredible insight and behind the scene stories about the formulation and producing efforts by both her and her husband. <br />

Suz - When did your fascination for Tiki begin? Do you remember your first memory of being exposed to tiki?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - Growing up in Southern California I grew up with many tiki influences. I have fond memories of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland and once a year for my cousin's birthday we would get to enjoy dinner at Kelbo's. I loved the sweet fruity drinks and the mysterious atmosphere and we would all giggle as our Uncle Rocky would, without a doubt at some point in the evening, yell out "Who turned off the lights?". My sister was the first in our family to start collecting Tiki stuff back in the 1980's. I was a huge thrift store shopper and every time I would find something Tiki related I would save it to give to her. By 1990 my sister said she had too much Tiki stuff and needed to make room for her other collections! I kept finding more and more cheap Tiki items so if I found something Tiki that I liked I would just hang onto it. Mostly it was mugs but I would also collect records, clothing, and other knick knacks. I wasn't all that picky at the time. When I started a website in 1994 I knew that I wanted to include an element of Tiki. I called the website "Baby Doe's Obsessed" and featured people's Tiki mug collections. Around that time I was a big zine nut and when Tiki News came out I flipped! There were other people just like me?! Little did I know the editor would become my husband just a few years later!<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have a vintage item or tiki item that you cherish the most? Favorite vintage outfit?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - I am a vintage hoarder! I really love stuff from the 50's-60's and it is hard for me to not want to collect just about anything Tiki or non-Tiki from those era's. As for my most cherished Tiki item hummmmm....I have so much Tiki stuff I adore so this is not an easy one for me to answer. I guess from living in San Francisco for 21 years I would have to say that the Tiki Bob mug is a fave mug and I love the history of Tiki Bob's; they used to host daytime lingerie fashion shows! To be honest, I am not such a hardcore vintage mug collector as I used to be. I have a hard time paying top dollar for Tiki mugs after finding them for years for so cheap in thrift stores and estate sales so now I collect mostly non-mug items like clothing, paper items like napkins, art, etc. When it comes to clothing I really love the 60's fashions the best and I have ...er....a lot of dresses, pant suits, swimsuits, hats and purses for Tiki Oasis. Even though our in-home Tiki bar is maxed out there is always something else to pick up and collect!<br />

<br />
Suz - How did your event Tiki Oasis come about?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - The first Tiki Oasis was to give exposure to the Caliente Tropics in Palm Springs. Pete Moruzzi convinced the owners to keep the hotel in a Tiki theme during a remodel. To prove this was worth the risk he asked Otto and Sven and other top Tiki folks to get involved and help throw a big party at the motel. Sven showed one of his brilliant slide shows, Otto provided the exotica soundtrack and Kevin Kidney projected an episode of Hawaiian Eye while everyone lounged in the pool because it was over 100 degrees; the first "Dive-in Movie" was born! Since Otto and I had already been throwing Tiki events in San Francisco and love throwing events we decided to do it again the next year and just never stopped.<br />

<br />
Suz - Did you ever imagine that it would become what it is today having only had 50 attendees at your very first gathering?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - We didn't expect for the event to expand and grow the way it did; truly it all happened organically. At first, it just seemed like a good excuse for a yearly family vacation in Palm Springs and to stay at the Caliente Tropics! Over time we added bands, Tiki carvers, and other elements we like and each year the event grew just a bit more and more! Planning parties is addictive! We plan it, people come out, enjoy it and we want you to do it again!<br />

<br />
Suz - What is your role in Tiki Oasis and how is it working with your husband so closely?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - The first Tiki Oasis I was pregnant with our first son (we joke that he was one of the few to be at every Tiki Oasis!) and our second son was born in 2005 so in those early years, with such young kids, I was involved more behind the scenes and helping with the planning pre-event. At the time I really had my hands full with chasing kids, my full-time day job, running my dance group and producing the huge international convention Tease-O-Rama. When we moved Tiki Oasis to San Diego in 2006 we saw the potential to make the event much bigger and experiment with other ideas to expand the experience. For example, we had wanted to add symposiums for years just like we did with Tease-O-Rama starting in 2001 but we didn't have the facility until we moved the event to San Diego. It was with the move to San Diego that I took a much bigger role in the planning and execution of the event. Today Otto and I blend over in most of our roles but overall he is the artistic visionary for the event. He says "let's do a car show", and I figure out how to make it happen. We work on just about everything together but we each have our strengths and we each have our challenges and we try to balance it all out. Every night we have our "Tiki Oasis Hours" which is after we do our day jobs and get our kids to bed so our usual working time is 9pm-Midnight seven days a week. It is a lot of non-stop work for us all year long.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have plans for expanding the event in the future? Adding more days, events, etc...<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - We are always looking to expand the experience that people have at Tiki Oasis. We are at our capacity for the location we are at but we are always constantly looking for ways to improve upon the event. We are very happy with the current location at the Crowne Plaza as the staff is extremely easy to work with and very supportive. We hope to keep the event at this location and just continue to experiment with new offerings.<br />

<br />
Suz - What has been your favorite theme so far? What are some of the other themes you hope to pursue for future events?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - People LOVE to give us a hard time about the themes. It is actually a joke amongst all our friends who like to berate us with ridiculous themes to consider. Of course, the theme of Tiki Oasis really is TIKI every year we just add a fun little something that we are interested in exploring. Usually it is the music that helps to form a theme but sometimes it is just something that touches the genre of Tiki. We have had so many great themes over the years that I can't really think of which one is my favorite! A few of my favorite memories.....I loved the art show for South of the Border where we gave the artists unpainted ceramic burros and pigs to paint. For the spy year I enjoyed hosting a scavenger hunt starting out with 100 people and in the end only one person had found the key to unlock a box on stage and was awarded with a golden Tiki. This year we plan to cover a lot of items in tin foil for our current theme "Yesterday's Future, Today", the themes overall keep an element of the unexpected at the event.<br />

<br />
Suz - What has been your favorite performance in all the years you have been hosting this event?<br />
<br />
Baby Doe - Preston Epps is by far one of my most favorite performances at Tiki Oasis. Otto and I produced an event in 1999 in San Francisco called "Bongo's by the Bay" where Epps was the headliner. It felt full circle to have him come and perform at Tiki Oasis and man oh man, can he still hit that bongo!<br />

<br />
Suz - Are there any performers or bands that you hope to have play your event in the future? <br />
<br />
Baby Doe - The list is a mile long! We will continue to book the top bands doing exotica and surf. We especially enjoy booking legends from the past but we are always looking to add acts that are a bit unexpected.<br />

I had some luck this last month and thought these pieces deserved a blog.<br />
<br />
I found this brocade gold and black wiggle dress at a local thrift shop. I think I paid four dollars for it. The dress is still on the small side for what I currently fit into but I am working on that. I'm already three inches down and plan to drop more!<br />

Dave and I of course went thrift hunting while we were in Los Angeles earlier this month. I had the great fortune of finding this beautiful navy blue rayon 1940's dress at an Goodwill shop in Long Beach, CA for four dollars! I can't believe the condition of this dress! There are no holes, no signs of aging, the seams are still strong, and the beads are all intact! It fits but I'm reserving this for very special occasions due to its age.</div>

We went to a friend's wedding in Eagle Rock, CA, while we were in Los Angeles, and had a little over an hour to spare before we had to be at the wedding venue. We went thrift store shopping of course! I found this beautiful vintage silk kimono jacket which was marked down to two dollars.</div>

The last item I picked up at the same shop in Eagle Rock was this beautiful pink and purple bermuda style handbag for $2.00. I just loved the stitching details. I believe it is handmade as there is no label or trace of a prior existing label.</div>

The next few items are thrift finds from nearby where I live in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon. I spotted this novelty print skirt in the swimsuit section. It's driving me nuts because I was sure my mom had a matching shirt because I swear I have seen this material print before. The skirt is handmade and is actually too big for me. I'm waiting to loose some more weight and then I will have it adjusted to fit me properly. I just love this print!</div>

I spotted this Korea tourist jacket, circa 1980's, at a "as is" Goodwill shop. There was some loose material under the armpits but it's an easy fix and worth the $1.00 I initially ended up paying for it. I just love the dragon design on the back.</div>

I'm saving the best for last of course. If you follow me on Instagram then you may have already seen these. I was actually at a street fair in downtown Medford with my parents. We stumbled into an Antiques store that was near the street fair on the request of my Dad. I bought these capri gold lame' pants for a mere $15!!! I still cannot believe I purchased them for such a low price. They are three inches too small but I'm working on it! I'm eating healthier, cooking a lot more at home and eating out less and working out at gym or doing blogilaties at home at least four to five days a week! My goal is to wear these pants to the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender next year. I have 11 more months to do it.....and I will!</div>

On Friday we drove to Los Feliz, had brunch at a very cute cafe called Home. Check out their website <a href="http://www.homerestaurantla.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. It was definitely worth it with great customer service and yummy food. After we finished our delicious brunch we headed just across the street to the salon where I had a haircut and style scheduled with my friend and fellow blogger Missy (<a href="http://www.technicolorcutie.com/" target="_blank">Technicolor Cutie</a>). </div>

After my hair appointment with Missy we then ventured onto Huntington Beach where we would be meeting friends from San Diego at Don the Beachcomber for a mini reunion. We first stopped in at Hula Girls Shave Ice where I promptly got my dole whip craving satisfied! You have to check out Hula Girls Shave Ice if you are ever in Huntington Beach. We actually bumped into the owner's husband Jason and had a nice chat and he showed us some ohana love by giving us a pint of dole whip to share with our friend's.

It was bittersweet to see everyone knowing that this would be a short visit but I'm glad everyone that came was able to put aside some time to visit with us while we were in the area. Here I am with the lovely Vanessa.</div>

Sunday was our last day in Los Angeles. We spent the day with Dave's Mom Ana and her fiance' Rob. We found out that they set their wedding date so we will be back in Los Angeles a few months from now for their wedding! We had booked our flight home later in the evening so we were able to enjoy most the day with them. Here are Ana and I on a morning walk to brunch.</div>

They have amazingly good handmade tortillas!!! They were so good and came with an equally good green salsa that had cilantro, cheese, and avocado. That alone will bring me back. Their brunch menu was very affordable and came with not only your main dish but with your choice of bottomless bloody mary's, sangria, or mimosa's! And to finish the meal off you also received flan for dessert.</div>

I met Angie several years ago when I first attended Tiki Oasis in San Diego and we have been friends ever since. She was there the same nights that I met my husband Dave and was present (completely by chance) at the Bali Hai when Dave proposed to me. Because of all her special present moments in my life we were sure to have her marry us when we got married last June. When she got engaged I had told her I would be happy to pay the favor back by doing the same but luckily they had other plans and I dodged that public humiliation! (I don't do well in front of crowds)<br />
<br />
The wedding was held in Eagle Rock, CA at the Women's Twentieth Century Club. It was a truly beautiful spot to be married and the weather was gorgeous.<br />

I'm still kicking myself that I didn't purchase the sister blue rose version of this fabric that I found the same day. I should have bought both!!! I had plans to take the time to either find a good seamstress to make a circle skirt out of the material or to attempt it myself. I struggled for years to find someone that would make the skirt within my financial means and I never did get around to buying a good sewing machine or perfecting my sewing skills. <br />

Then about a month ago during the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender I found what I was looking for. I had stumbled across an Instagram post by Mabellesretroroundup. It mentioned that she made circle skirts and she was definitely affordable and in my price range. Her skirts start in price at $35. I immediately contacted the business owner, Michelle, and asked if she did custom orders with the fabric provided. She said yes and I quickly sent her my vintage fabric. She was so quick in making the skirt and had it sent back to me in less than ten days! Her work is beautiful and I was so happy with the outcome.<br />

Suz - How did your sewing business venture come about?<br />
<br />
Michelle - My business began simply as a hobby. I absolutely adore vintage clothing, specifically vintage/vintage-inspired skirts, but finding them in my size and price range was proving difficult. I decided to teach myself how to sew so I that I may be able to make the clothing I wanted. From there a friend wanted one made for herself, then another, and another, and before I knew it, it had become clear that it was time to make an official clothing business so that I could make these skirts available to everyone. Mabelle's Retro Roundup officially started carrying skirts February 2014.<br />

Suz - What makes Mabelle's Retro Roundup stand out from the crowd?<br />
<br />
Michelle - Mabelle's Retro Roundup focuses on its customers' needs, allowing them to customize their skirts at an affordable price. You can purchase a handmade skirt that fits specifically for your personality and body, plus in the fabric of your choice. You can add a sash, pockets, decorative stitch, pom poms, and much much more. My skirts are made with an elastic band for comfort, but it's hidden enough to give the illusion of a fitted skirt.<br />

<br />
Suz - What attracts you to vintage style?<br />
<br />
Michelle - It seems I've always been attracted to mid-century living and the lifestyle for as long as I can remember. I enjoyed looking through my grandmother's photos when she was in her twenties and wished I could dress the way she did. When I was sixteen I discovered rockabilly music which then opened the door to vintage clothing. I've been appreciating and enjoying the retro lifestyle ever since.<br />

Suz - Aside from amazing circle skirts, what other sewing projects are you available to offer?<br />
<br />
Michelle - This year I introduced full gathered skirts which are perfect for fabrics that have vertical designs. The most popular gathered skirt is the black and white stripped skirt. I will also be making hair scarves and bandannas available later this summer.<br />

I've already started searching out other fabrics and have thrifted the fabrics seen in the photo below. The ice cream fabric was a score of a find for $5.00 for three yards of fabric! I can't wait to have Michelle work her magic on these!<br />

This photo was taken of the Haunted Mansion before it was even open to the public. For years it sat and gathered rumors in the process of what was to come. The attraction would not open to the public until August 9, 1969.</div>

I decided to tag along as it was a great opportunity to spend some time in the city. I ended up visiting several vintage shops in town while Dave was at his work meetings.<br />
<br />
The first shop I visited was Simply Vintage. This is the same shop that my friend Janey of <a href="http://atomicredhead.com/" target="_blank">Atomic Redhead Blog</a> used to work at before moving to California. I made sure to visit this shop as I had heard so many good things about the store and love all the items that the owner Sarah posts on her Instagram account Stutterinmama.<br />

I also visited Wanderlust Vintage which was a really cute shop, House of Vintage which is easy to get lost in, and hit up a few thrift shops that were nearby. Please visit my Instagram page (thesweetiesuz) to see some of the goodies I thrifted while in Portland.</div>

The next day Dave headed out to his work meeting and I continued on with my vintage and thrift hunting. I visited Hattie's and Bombshell Vintage. I ended up having an excellent conversation with the owner of Bombshell Vintage, Kim. I bought an atomic shirt for Dave and a pair of cat eye glasses for myself. <br />

Whether official or not I'm extremely excited about the sudden interest in having any excuse to go to the park in dressed up or attend in themed attire. My friend Rebecca is the founder of yet another genius themed Disneyland day; Adventurers Day! Below is a outstanding YouTube video, by Chris of "Lost in Paradise", which documents their very first gathering which took place last year.<br />
<br />

<br />
They have had a few meet ups outside the park as well. Their next gathering is next month and I thought it would be nice to learn more about this event by interviewing my friend Rebecca.<br />

<br />
Suz - What is your very first memory of Disneyland?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - My first memory of Disneyland is when I was nine. I remember two very specific things. The explosions on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and needing to photograph my father in front of the awesome tiki trash can outside of the Enchanted Tiki Room.<br />

<br />
Suz - How often do you visit the park?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - Almost every Sunday except for when we are blacked out.<br />
<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have any park rituals?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - If Maynard is working then we have to go to the Enchanted Tiki Room and we can't leave Disneyland without riding the Haunted Mansion. We also love riding The World Famous Jungle Cruise at the end of the night because the lines are so short and the Skippers are sillier.<br />

<br />
Suz - What is Adventurers Day and what can one expect?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - Adventurers Day is a Disneyland event that encourages you to wear your best safari gear and come to the park to ride rides and if you are brave enough even participate in an eight hour long photo scavenger hunt!<br />
<br />

<br />
Suz - What was your inspiration to create Adventurers Day?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - The four of us all love Disneyland so much. We come on a regular basis and attend almost all of the other official and unofficial Disneyland days. But we found because we come so often that it would be fun to create our own day especially based on the thing we love most; ADVENTURE! We were thinking about making an unofficial meet up day that was more interactive; where you could be a part of it just as much as the next person and make your own unique experience.<br />

<br />
Suz - Do you have any suggestions on what and where someone might buy their adventurer gear and clothes for the meet up?<br />
<br />
Rebecca - We have custom pith helmets and official Shrunken Ned pendants which you can find on Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/fourbleboard" target="_blank">here</a> or we have them available whenever we are vending at either Don the Beachcomber for the International Tiki Marketplace or various Tonga Hut events. You can also go to any army surplus store to find your basic pith helmet which we think is a requirement!<br />

Suz - Do you have any other suggestions for someone who is attending the meet up for the first time?<br />

Rebecca - If you are going to participate in the scavenger hunt we recommend bringing friends, a camera, and extra batteries! It's great if you have a team of thrill seekers ready to go, but if not, come solo and make some great new friends!<br />

This was our first time attending a car show in southern Oregon since moving to Medford this last September. The cars were beautiful and obviously loved by their owners. Most were modern customs with a few classics thrown into the mix. It took place inside a building located at the Jackson County Fairgrounds.<br />

I dressed down as it is still cold here in Southern Oregon.....well at least to the sunny California weather we are used to. I wore my new to me 1940's Mexican tourist jacket (which I recently purchased on eBay for a steal of a price) paired up with a vintage tooled leather purse I recently thrifted for a whole $3.</div>

The person responsible for giving me my very first introduction to this music genre would have to be my Uncle Mark. I have a few memories of visiting him and my aunt when they were living in Huntington Beach, California in the early 1980's. My memories are a bit hazy, as I was very young, and the memories are melded into two scenarios of how I came to know and love this style of instrumental guitar styling. The first is hearing this music being played in the background (most likely on a cassette tape player), and the second is memory is of my Uncle showing my Dad a video of various surfers ridding waves with this music as a soundtrack backing. <br />
<br />
Then there is my Disneyland experience. Believe it or not Dick Dale, the king of the surf guitar, actually provided a track to be played in perfect symmetry with the dips, swoops and turns that make up the Space Mountain attraction at Disneyland. This sci-fi/surf rock version of "Le Carnival Des Animaux: Aquarium", written by Camille Saint-Saenes ran in the ride from 1996 to 2003. I bring along my MP3 player and headphones and play the original track when I ride Space Mountain to this day. I'm definitely not a fan of the "Incredibles" theme which now currently plays on the ride.<br />

I'm so lucky to have had several opportunities to see him preform live with his band Jason Lee and the R.I.P as well as his other band The Black Tides while I was living in San Diego. His musical talents are also paired up with an always very pleasant, friendly, and very easy going demeanor. He has in the past offered classes on how to play surf rock which were an offered symposium at Tiki Oasis as well as created various tutorials online for fellow guitar enthusiasts (check one of his videos <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl2cOJb1d3U" target="_blank">here</a>). He also currently provides backing music to various television shows that air on A&E, Spike and the Discovery Channel. It's no wonder he has become such a staple and local celebrity to the Tiki subculture. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suz - When did you first start playing the guitar?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - I must've been around seven years or so, and then really started taking it seriously when one uncle in specific was teaching me bi-weekly lessons and I never stopped after that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suz - Could you share your first encounter or first time ever hearing surf guitar music? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - That would be hints of solo's from The Beach Boys records being played....My mind lit up as a child when I heard a heavy reverb guitar lead. I thought....."Man that is something different" </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suz - When did you decide that you wanted to play this genre? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - Contrary to what fans might think..... I didn't play Surf music when I was young....I wrote it, but didn't perform it. I played in numerous bands that were amazing to play with. But, when I got home I was always writing Surf music and that kind of took over. It wasn't until I recorded my first all surf EP that I completely switched over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suz - Who were your idols or icons that you looked to for inspiration when you first started playing and or still do currently?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - Early on, flat out - Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits. I had a VHS I taped of them off of KPBS when they played Brothers in Arms and at eleven years old I understood everything he was about. I would go to school the next day and obviously no kid knew who I was talking about. You can hear his style come out of me sometimes.....he's the reason I hold back on how many notes I play in a measure on songs. Most surf guitarists can't wait to fit as many notes as possible, like an antsy thirteen year old on his first date. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - We owe a lot to Tiki Oasis so there are many fond memories over the years, but opening for Davie Allen, special guesting with so many other acts and teaching my Symposium each year has been such a ride already. I think all of it is just great. We have a lot on our plate right now so we shall see where life takes us.</div>

Jason - I love the song "Snake Eyes" that we play live. It has such a fast energy and I get to solo in the live version. The ending hits you like a ton of bricks if you see us live.</div>

Suz - Let's talk about your trademark look. How did your amazing trademark hairstyle come about? I must state too that you have an impressive collection of vintage western men's shirts! When did you being your collection?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - My hair is thick and dry. And it grows UP. Its always been that way. So in my late teens I just started adding product. I have a fascination with second generation western show wear. Colors that are way to bright and too many patterns to count are interesting to me. I have a huge collection so they tend to make their way into all of my YouTube videos. As the videos blew up in the early days of YouTube the shirts just kind of became synonymous with me. A happy curse maybe?...</div>

Suz - If you could come up with a beginners list for equipment needed to start jamming some surf tunes what would you suggest they acquire to do so? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jason - Any basic clean tube amp with a separate reverb unit will do the trick. A Jazzmaster, Jaguar or Strat will do just fine for guitar. Work on your right hand speed and don't over think what you are doing. Start slow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suz - Having Dinoysus Records distribute and release your music this last April on LP and digital I know was a huge milestone; not to mention having a ceramic mug made in your honor to your likeness! What are some other goals or hope you have for your music and the band?</div>

Jason - I can honestly say the band is a well oiled machine right now. Dionysus records has been great to us. Lee pushes very hard for his artists. We can't believe how many records sold last year worldwide and we can't thank the fans enough. As far as the future, we basically wanna keep pushing the surf music genre to be bigger. I feel that I am one of the ones that push the hardest to get bands respect in our sub-culture. I want bands and players to work hard and make this a viable market. We have a new album in the works on Dionysus with an added direction, and our side group, The Black Ties, will always have an influence on the upcoming records. We look forward to what the future brings us and remember, it's our fans that dictate our musical direction. We listen every time someone speaks. So speak up if you like something. It will more than likely make the record.</div>

Starting in junior high, I would ask friends and family for help in showing me how to do vintage and classic styles and to no avail I wouldn't get the look I had hoped for. My mom was no help to me in this department as she, and many others like her in her generation, was raised on a beauty regimen of little to no make up and straight or "natural" looking hairstyles. This of course was not my mother's fault but rather the social climate of her time. <br />
<br />
Luckily for me, something huge was developed in my lifetime. The Internet! Along came many social sites set up for easy access to communication all at your fingertips. Granted the road to the Internet started as a slow process. Remember how long it could take to be connected via an analog or telephone connection. I can still remember how excited we would get when the computer finally connected and made that ever recognizable connected noise. And don't even get me started on how long websites used to take to load pictures!<br />
<br />
YouTube has become one of my favorite mediums to have come out of the development of the Internet. There has been a surge of "vloggers" in the last eight years that have used YouTube to their advantage even making some people household names or national celebrities. My favorite videos to watch however are online are tutorials. There are so many available now on YouTube that it's almost impossible not to find something you are looking for to help. This is where Cherry Dollface, as she is known to her YouTube viewers, comes into play for me. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was ready to finally put my hot curler set to use (which I think was given to me in junior high, used once, and disregarded as I didn't know how to use them correctly). This is when I came across Cherry's video tutorials on YouTube which offered an easy take on how to achieve the vintage and classic look I had yearned for all those years previously. She also offers other videos on not just beauty advice, but recipes, DIY projects, self-esteem awareness, and mini videos on her traveling adventures and a glimpse into her family life. She also wears many other hats as a model, designer and spokesperson for Bomber Betty Custom Cosmetics, (check out her lipstick/lip gloss line <a href="http://www.shop.bomberbetty.com/Cherry-Dollface-Collection_c40.htm" target="_blank">here</a>) and hosts many classes worldwide to help other gals learn her trademark beauty secrets to achieve the vintage/classic look. I had the honor of having Cherry style mine and my bridesmaid's hair and it certainly added to the magic that was my wedding day. With all that said, I thought that it would be interesting to learn more about her so here is my interview with Cherry.<br />

<br />
Suz - When did your love for vintage all begin?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - I learned how to swing dance when I was 14 and I went from being a card carrying punk rocker, to being a swing dancer. It wasn't really practical to wear bondage belts and doc martins when I was dancing, so I started researching vintage styles. It was all over from there!</span><br />
<br />
Suz - Can you recall what may have been your early inspiration to achieve the vintage/classic look?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - I always loved Marilyn Monroe growing up (what little girl didn't?) and I always kind of wanted to be that sexpot-- but I am just a super goofy gal. So I tried to find my own style using the sexpot looks but the goofy personality.</span><br />

<br />
Suz - Do you remember what your first hairstyle or "go to" look was when you started experimenting with the vintage style?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - A pompadour! I used to just wear a pomp with my hair down and curly. Or a bandanna.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>

<br />
Suz - When did you begin your modeling career and do you have any advice for beginners?<br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - It began on accident when I was at the Viva Las Vegas car show in 2005 and a photographer snapped a photo of me sitting in my truck. Had no idea he was even taking it! And then a few months later Ol' Skool Rodz emailed me and wanted to put it on their cover. It just kind of happened organically from there. My best advice is not to sacrifice your integrity. Especially if you are looking to be a pinup model-- there is no real long term career in such an underground style. There is no need to be cut throat or to sacrifice your morals for a fun hobby!</span><br />

Suz - When did you decide to begin a YouTube channel?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - In 2012 a friend suggested I start a channel and I had no idea what I would even put up! But I always had girls asking me how I had styled my hair and makeup when I was modeling, so I just thought tutorials might be the most useful.</span><br />
<br />
Suz - When did you decide to take the show on the road, so to speak, and begin live classes?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - In 2013 I did a local class in the summer with my friend Nikki and it was a super big success. At the end of that year I was asked to go to Australia with a company called Catfight Collections that sponsored my trip and classes. After that I just started putting the feelers out to see which cities would have me and it took off from there!</span><br />

<div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422981735578_2497">
Cherry - Australia so far was my favorite just because it was so different and beautiful. And Australians are SO nice!! I also loved Portland (my home town), Chicago (which is where Bomber Betty is), and the New England Shakeup in Mass. was super fun! I am going back to that again this fall. I am actually doing the UK in June and I am insanely excited for that. The history nerd in me freaks out daily.<br />

Suz - What has been the most beneficial thing to have come out of having your YouTube channel? If you had to put it into one sentence what would your overall message to your viewers be?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - Being able to reach girls and women all over the world. My main goal with all of this is to help girls be more positive, more accepting of themselves, and also kinder to each other. I want girls to know that it is isn't cool to be an asshole-- there are so many girls that do what I do that have a sort of elitist attitude and I am trying to reel that back. It is amazing that my channel has allowed me to travel and hug girls all over the world. It still blows my mind. I</span><span style="background-color: white;">n a sentence it would be "Don't be an asshole". Haha. And I mean that both to others and also to yourselves!</span><br />
<br />
Suz - What are your goals for your channel and or career and what do you hope to see happen with it all in the next couple of years?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Cherry - I just hope that I keep getting to travel and meet all of the beautiful babes that follow me and hear their stories. If I can keep doing that, I will be a happy little clam.</span><br />

I have a love for orchestrated music, especially soundtracks, and thought I should learn more about its' history and I stumbled upon Salvatore "Tutti" Camarata. Between the 1950's and 1970's he established, produced, conducted, and was head of Disneyland Records.<br />

Tutti, as he was nicknamed by Jimmy Dorsey, began the roots of his music career during the big band era of the 1930's and 1940's playing the trumpet for Jimmy Dorsey. He also had the opportunity to work on the Bing Crosby Show and was also an arranger for The Paul Whiteman band which happens to be the same band that Dave's Grandpa John Maloy used to perform in on piano and guitar.</div>

In the 1950's, Tutti caught the eye of an executive for the Disney company and was asked to come aboard as their record label executive. He helped to produce such artists as Annette Funicello. He is actually the responsible for helping her develop her voice as well as her trademark "echo" style of singing. This helped push her into the spotlight not only as a Disney Mouseketeer but as a successful pop hit singer.</div>

He was also responsible for introducing to Disney such voice actors as Sterling Holloway, who is better known as the voice of Winnie the Pooh and was integral in convincing Louis Prima to provide the voice for King Louie the Ape in The Jungle Book.<br />
<br />
In 1960, at the slight suggestion from Walt Disney, Tutti opened his own recording studio Sunset Sound. Aside from producing and recording all of the Disneyland records here, several bands and artists recorded here including The Beach Boys (as seen below), Paul McCartney, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and the lists goes on. This turned out to be a smart investment which still thrives today under the direction of his son Paul Camarata.<br />
