Humuhumu wearing the vintage Tiki Room Dress

Amazing website designer, intrepid tiki reporter, and my then-girlfriend Humuhumu has an incredible story that starts with her wearing a vintage Tiki Room dress to a Disneyland Fan convention in Anahiem, and ends with her modeling a reproduction of the dress for Dinsey's online retail website.

While we were at the NFFC convention to help with a presentation, I snapped a photo of Humuhumu wearing a vintage Tiki Room dress that was on loan to her from Disney artist Kevin Kidney. That photo got posted to my Tiki website, where some other Dinsey artists discovered it and mistook it for a vintage photo. Inspired by the photo, Disney decided to reproduce the dress design and sell it online as a limited edition item. The reproduction dress is a different color than the vintage one because the fabric was reproduced first for another Tiki Room hawaiian shirt.

When the reproduction dress was ready to be photographed for their website, Kevin contacted Humuhumu to be the model! Disney had us drive down to LA for the photoshoot, where I got to see a lot of the cool stuff they make for the Disney catalog and website while Humuhumu modeled the dress. The rest, as they say, is history!
