Tiki, Hawaiiana and poseurs galore

Went to see the Tiki Now exhibit at the Shooting Gallery in San Francisco last Friday. Overall, I found the show to be pretty boring. Shag's stuff is great, and there were a few interesting pieces, but overall, once you've seen one Tiki, you've seen them all.

And while I love a lot of the whole 'mid-century modern', 'swanky' lifestyle, an event like this really brings the poseurs out. That and holding any event in the tenderloin with free wine makes sure that you have a healthy mix of effite, trust fund pomposity and pants-filled homeless.
