I wrote a couple of other replies - among them,showing relief that it wasn't for real (In this particular case) That being said - Hawaiian shorts are back in , I'm told, at least as collectables... the 50's, I think, are in for style. But my comment about it not being a time warp was a politcal statement - triggered by, but not really _about_ your pic, Paul.
