This week on The Tiki Talk Show Ellie and Ryley chat with Otto and Baby Doe von Stroheim for a second time. That’s right, it’s the first ever 2 part series for this show, though it’s sure not to be the last. If you haven’t seen part 1 yet, where we talk about the 80s-2001 be sure to check that out.

Last time, we left off in 2001, where Tiki News had released its final (published) issue and come to an unofficial end. At the same time, the now renowned event, Tiki Oasis, was just beginning. We hear the stories about the first Tiki Oasis, how the event grew, changed, and developed over the years as well as the introduction of Tiki Oasis Arizona. But Otto and Baby Doe have been involved in so much more than this iconic celebration of the Polynesian Pop. We talk about Baby Doe’s involvement in the burlesque community and the Tease-O-Rama events, art and museum exhibitions, the Tiki Art Now! books, and more. We had a fantastic time listening to their passion and love for tiki and the community it draws together for a second time, and we hope you do too.

You can find Otto on Instagram @ottovs, Baby Doe @xoxobabydoe, and be sure to follow @tikioasis for all the fun and exciting updates and news.
