Harajuku Lovers Hawaiian Girl Baby Cuddle bag

Continuing my theme of things I love going together with something else that I love is this summer’s Harajuku Lovers lines by Gwen Stefani, which featured…tikis!

Their availability is pretty limited now, but there is one bonus to not discovering these purses until September: sales! This bag was originally $88, but throw in extra extra clearance, Labor Day coupons and other Macy’s magic and it somehow ended up costing twenty-something dollars.

Tikis!

A peek at the tikis on the inside of the Harajuku Lovers Hawaiian Girl “Baby” Cuddle bag. More images of my “Fatal Attraction to Cuteness” after the jump!

When we were at Frankie’s Tiki Room, I was tickled to discover the “Vice Tester” with illustrations by Shag. (You might have noticed that I really dig Shag.)

And the machine revealed to me that my secret vice is…I have no vice! Ha!

Mr. Baseball on the other hand…

Well, to protect the not-so-innocent I won’t reveal his results. So, what would be your secret vice? I suggest you go to Frankie’s and find out—it will only cost you a quarter. That’s gotta be one of the best deals in Vegas! 🙂

My First Tiki Bar!

Posted by The Tiki Chick in Objets de Tiki and tagged with

The other day, Mr. Baseball and I went to the local Ralph’s to get some groceries. We were browsing around, getting the usual—bread, milk, copious amounts of pasta—when we walked by the check-out registers and there was, lo and behold…

a tiki bar???

It looks super classy next to all those cases of Natty Ice, right?

Apparently, Ralph’s now sells patio furniture…who knew? Well, not too many folks I guess, since it was all on clearance at 40% off.

At first I was just amused that I would find something tiki in a supermarket. But then I got to thinking about the summer, and sipping mai tais by the pool and then it wasn’t long before I was enlisting family members (and their truck) to help me haul it away.

I asked the manager if they had any boxed up in the back and he said no—that was the only one and it had to go as is. Yikes! But it’s on wheels so it wasn’t too bad. Mr. Baseball tried to get the manager to throw in one of the cases of Natty with the deal, but he wasn’t having it. 🙂

Now, who wants to help christen it?
