Where are these pics from?

Rec Room Luau 1964

I have to say it.

It's "quelle." A quell soirée would most likely be a nit combing party.

Kinda like "nit-picking"?

More like gnat picking

Merci bien, monsieur.

In my antiqueness, I remember those 1960's "luaus". With apologies to GC, I still picture Hawaii as a combination of those parties and the Tiki Room.

I do not have pics, but my Mom was so enamoured of the Tiki Room she did the screened in patio a la Tiki Room. The only thing was no fountain and the birds did not sing. A frightening carved coconut face, complete with cigar. Loads of birds, tiki lights and tikis.

I can still smell the packets of whiskey sour mix.

Can't you just smell the stale cigarette smoke and hear the cheesy piano music?
