Tommy Cooper says "get thee to a Fezzery!"

Pop on the hat with the tassel and come along for a night of mysterious fez-tivities and fez fun.

Sip on the delicious Desert Sand and Camel Hump cocktails and immerse yourself into a world of fez exotica.

8pm Friday 10th Fezbruary at Tiki Lounge and Bar, 327 Swan Street, Richmond.

For those looking for inspiration, what’s this?  Is that the entirety of the Laurel and Hardy Classic  ”Sons of the Desert” on YouTube?  Don’t mind if I do!!

For those not fortunate enough to own a fez of their own and looking for a source of fine, embroidered velvet Fezzes, might we recommend our favourite Fez Emporium, the one and only Fez-o-Rama?  Below are a couple of favourites from their range, but we highly recommend jumping on their site and browsing their wares.

April’s Careless Navigator Night at the Tiki Lounge and Bar is a ripper…AND ON THE BIG SCREEN…The Australian Premier of Duda Leite’s TIKIMENTARY… A Tiki road trip that takes you to most Tiki locations in the USA and introduces you to the Tiki community.

ENTRY IS FREE.

Duda has sent over a limited amount of dvd’s that will be for sale on the night.
As an added bonus, Brad Parker has signed some of his new HAWAII TIKI TOWELS also for sale on the night.
Yes it’s a THURSDAY this month ….but what better way to kick off Easter than watching TIKIMENTARY, talkin’ Tiki and having a Cocktail or two.

A good friend of the bar and local Tiki connoisseur known as the “Careless Navigator” is organising a get-together for Melbournian Tikiphiles and Polynesiacs at none other than our humble bar in Richmond. If you’re one of the Clan, we’d like to extend the invitation on Careless Navigator’s behalf to join these good folk for a Mai Tai or two!

The details are -
Time: 7pm onwards
Date: Saturday May 8th 2010
Attire: Beachcomber casual (aloha-wear optional)

Here’s a handy Facebook Event link!

The Navigator is one of Australia’s movers and shakers when it comes to Tiki Culture and runs a fantabulous Tiki website with an Australian flavour at www.carelessnavigator.com. One need only spend a few moments on his site to see CN’s hardcore Tiki credentials – He’s in with Tiki luminaries such as Marcus Thorn, Martin Cate, Our mate Koop Kooper from the Cocktail Nation Podcast, Beachbum Berry and the good folk from Tiki Farm. The site is full of awesome Tiki stuff and well worth a bookmark or RSS subscription!

Hope to see heaps of fellow Tiki tragics turn up – we know you’re out there…

Comic from the most excellent xkcd.com

Tiki Lounge and Bar will be engulfed by the smokey, risque and exotic burlesque-inspired cabaret stylings of Mz Josephine Fisher (http://www.josephinefisher.com/) as accompanied by the laidback lounge/exotica sounds of the Kahuna Daddies.  We’ve been lucky enough to host the Kahuna Daddies before at our humble bar, and Mz Josephine’s reputation preceeds her… just look at her website and try to tell me that this doesn’t sound compelling:

“Mz Josephine’s tendency to reveal more than absolutely necessary has made her a popular entertainer with her customers. Regaling them with saucy songs, anecdotes, dildo dancing, striptease, fabulist story telling and tales of love gone kinky. Mz Josephine was invented to explore the politics of pleasure and to encourage her audiences to be curious about their own.”

We’d love to see you there!  Show should kick off around 9:30pm.  No cover charge! (woo!)

Cheers,

Tiki Lounge and Bar

The Facebook group for the Shuffle can be found here.

As strong supporters of Zombie rights, the Tiki Bar will be offering Zombie related cultural entertainment all night (movies on the projector, maybe some Resident Evil or Left 4 Dead… depends on whether Kev is up for donating his Xbox for the evening…).   We’ll  offering drink specials on the night ($4 off Zombie cocktails) to those who attend as Zombies (more out of fear than anything else), so please feel free to dress up!

Here are some scenes from last year’s shuffle…
