If you’ve followed TLT or The Retro Tiki Lounge on Facebook for very long, then you know that Halloween is my favorite season of the year. I have a big, krazy party and decorate the whole house like a haunted attraction. This year’s theme is “Ghosts of Tiki Island,” in keeping with the story of the book I’m currently writing, “Murder on Tiki Island.” Since the house already looks something like a Tiki bar from the 1940s, it’s turning out to be a very easy theme to decorate.
So I’m turning the house into Tiki Island Resort, complete with Pirate’s Cove Tiki Bar, The Hukilau Ballroom and The Moai Coffee Shop. It’s going to be a fun party…as long as I can keep these damned kittens off of the decorations!
why did you turn your house into a Tiki Island Resort?
Why not?
Actually, there are a lot of people out there who go far beyond what I’ve done…decorating basements, rooms, or even their entire home into a authentically styled mid-century Tiki palace. For me, I enjoy the escapism. I’d rather sit by the pool surrounded by palm trees and Tiki idols than “typical” decor.
I will certainly post some video!
That’s awesome. I second the request for video.
ghosts of tiki island! what fun! I can see how this is one amazing party. Love those toothy tikis!
Maybe you will post some video?
