Swizzles from the Fictional mythical Atlantis Hotel! A Polaroid. I have a small collection of Swizzle Sticks by happenstance, a few vintage ones from the golden age of airliners and Las Vegas. Another Polaroid. This otherwise unmarked one appears to be a Toucan lounging in a bean bag chair with a cigar… Currently in the earholes:
OH HAPPY DAY!!! So glad round 2 finally made it! Your swizzle collection rivals mine; love those Pan Ams, and that Seagrams VO (at one time my dark liquor of choice). What are those red and green ones?
A little clarification on the polaroids… that is the Jungle Room at Graceland. I took those pictures when I visited earlier this summer. My next correspondence will surely include polaroids of my own Bamboo Room at the Mermaid Lounge.
It has been a joy corresponding with a fellow Tikiphile and, as I found out last Saturday night, a VW’er as well. Poker night Exotica sounds really awesome. I have seriously been enjoying the tunes.
Ahh, yes – the “W” shaped ones are from Western Airlines, reflecting the logo that was on the side of the fuselage. I finally did figure out that those shots were of Graceland, once I read through again for my reply. I was blinded by the Grace! :D
Love all the airline swizzles you have. There is a real niche for those… wish I still had all the Eastern ones my dad used to bring home from his travels to parts unknown.
Oh hey, I figured out where that Toucan swizzle came from – apparently it’s “Wally Bird”, a mascot for Western Airlines as well.

Now THAT is awesome. Now it makes sense why a toucan would be sitting on a bean bag chair!
So, Elvis was a tiki maven too? That’s fantastic!
Well, he was certainly into the Witco look:

Oh, remember how I said there weren’t any Tiki Bars in Mesa? Well, apparently *this* is about to happen:
