"Frolicking in the Mai Kai fountains, waitresses keep in shape with a playful session tossing flowered leis around."
See girls, it's just that easy, no excuses!

"One night she did an impromptu strip at the Aloha Club -and there she stayed - as a stripper."
Yeah right, a likely story! 
After our TC eyes have been sensitized by the extensive Frank Bowers research on this site:
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=34053&forum=1&start=0
...we could not fail but notice his characteristic brush work in the background, and did not hesitate to identify the true location as being the Zamboanga, home to Bowers' most famous mural of them all:
(also found on page 144 of Tiki Modern)
It looks like Dee's cymbals...
...are replacing the gong that hung on the left side of the stage:
And it seems she is striking a similar pose than the three native basket bearers behind her.
Nice work, Dee!

And I'm still scheming to get into that place. It's a VFW hall right now. I call and call, but they never pick-up the phone.
If there are any African American Vietnam War veteran Tikiphiles out there who can assist, please PM me.

Don't stereotype BTD. I had beers earlier today with TikiVato at Embers Lounge.
That guy is an old-school Boyle Heights homeboy and retired police detective.
He's as passionate about Tiki as you OC white boys (uh, I mean Caucasians).

John-O,
Had a great time picking your brain on all the vintage bars in our old neighbor. Regarding the Zamboanga's on Slauson. I am a card carrying VFW member and can probably get us in there. Let me know when you want to go.(daytime hours and on the weekends)

Not that it makes any difference now, but the guy that owned the Zamboanga was a friend of my grandfather, who lived off Slauson in Hyde Park not far from there. Of course they're all long dead now and my father barely remembers the place. So close but still so far.

Sven: Thanks for ID-ing that nightclub. Great eye for detail, as always. I didn't even notice the background, ha!

My pleasure, it's my way of having fun. Here's my photo archeology tip: After scanning a restaurant photo, always lighten up the background, and you will discover previously invisible-to-the-human-eye details. Just did that here, also:
