520    After World War II, suburbs proliferated around California
       cities as returning soldiers traded in their uniforms for 
       business suits. 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.
