After-hours leisure activities took on an island-themed sensuality that bloomed from a new fascination with Polynesia and Hawaii. Movies and television shows filmed in Malibu and Burbank urged viewers to escape everyday life with the likes of Gidget and Hawaiian Eye. Restaurants like Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's sprang up to answer the demand for wild cocktails and even wilder décor. The culture -- a strange hodgepodge of idols, torches, lush greenery and colorful drinks -- beckoned men and women to lose themselves in exotic music and surf tunes. Authors Jason Henderson and Adam Foshko explore the state's midcentury fascination with all things Tiki. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Polynesians|xSocial life and customs. 650 7 HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY)|2bisacsh 651 0 California|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 Polynesia|xHistory. 651 0 United States|xCivilization|xForeign influences. 651 0 United States|xCivilization|y20th century. 651 0 California|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 651 0 California|xSocial life and customs|xForeign influences. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Von Stroheim, Otto,|eauthor of foreword. 700 1 Foshko, Adam,|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHenderson, Jason.|tCalifornia Tiki. |dSouth Carolina : History Press, 2018.|z1467138223 |w(OCoLC)1024249906 914 frd00024458
