But how do South Pacific islanders feel about tiki kitsch? Frank N. Say you want to escape the doldrums of daily life — but you can't quite afford a trip to Hawaii. These faux-Polynesian, palm-thatched rum palaces that were all the rage in the 1960s are now making a comeback. The newest, hippest island-themed establishment in Washington, D.C., is called Archipelago — and it's tiki-kitsch to the max.

Cruise Ship History – The LURLINE was Hawaii. Matson Line’s flagship represented Hawaii to the traveling public and for years provided First Class service from California to Hawaii. | Cruising The Past. The LURLINE was Hawaii! William Matson had first come to appreciate the name in the 1870s while serving as skipper aboard the Claus Spreckels family yacht Lurline (a poetic variation of Loreley, the Rhine river siren)[1] out of San Francisco Bay. Matson met his future wife, Lillie Low, on a yacht voyage he captained to Hawaii; the couple named their daughter Lurline Berenice Matson. Spreckels sold a 150-foot brigantine named Lurline to Matson so that Matson could replace his smaller schooner Emma Claudina and double the shipping operation which involved hauling supplies and a few passengers to Hawaii and returning with cargos of Spreckels sugar.
Matson added other vessels to his growing fleet and the brigantine was sold to another company in 1896.[2] Matson built a steamship named Lurline in 1908[3]; one which carried mainly freight yet could hold 51 passengers along with 65 crew.

Kevin & Jody Show. Naturally, EVERYONE who walked into our offices while we were working on this guy, wanted one! Standing over 7 feet tall, our “Life-Size Jack” had a head as big as a basketball, and a metal frame covered by a custom fabric suit. The challenge was not so much to make Jack look like Jack, but to create a complicated item that could be easily assembled by the “average guest” (whatever that means.) Because of his size and awkward nature, the figure had to be shipped disassembled, to be put together by the customer at home. We did our own tests with a stopwatch to see how quickly we could get Jack unpacked from the cardboard and foam packaging and set up on his (HEAVY) base, pulling the skinny pants and jacket over the armature and finally screwing on his hands, feet, and head.
