Okay, so this is not a real Hawaiian girl in a polka dot bra and grass skirt, but rather Garry Palm's play on one of those lovely 'Hawaiian' maidens that the Thirties and Forties saw portrayed on calendars, postcards, and what not from Hawaii. Yes, somewhere along the way between overthrowing the Hawaiian government and dethroning the Hawaiian queen and turning Hawaii into the commercial Mecca of the Pacific, white people began liking to see themselves pose as 'natives.' It was the beginning of of that phase of Hollywood movies that no longer tried to portray Polynesian love stories and tribal tumult, but instead turned to Gidget, Elvis, and Bing Crosby to show the folks back home just how much fun one could have in America's newest candidate for Statehood. Ah, a little bit of history goes a long way when viewing this superb pinup drawing, don't you think? Nail this natural blonde beauty to your wall for just $17.95
