USA ~ Aloha - Hawaii ~

...🩴🏝️🌺ALOHA🌺🏝️🩴from Waikiki... wonderful tropical view of a vintage Travel Poster... young woman in traditional Hawaiian skirt dancing hula dance with ukulele guitar on  the beach... designed by Kerne Erickson, an unusual modern day visual artist creating Hawaiian Scenes Art in his own unique "vintage" style...Thanks a lot Glenn! (✿◠‿◠)  




With her flower crown and grass skirt, the hula girl has been synonymous with Hawaiian hospitality since cruise ships first docked in Honolulu in the 1920s.

Even today, exoticized images of these traditional dancers headline on travel websites, at tiki-themed bars, and on wiggly dashboard tchotchkes. 

Over the past two centuries, the cherished Hawaiian dance has moved from a sacred religious practice to a tourist attraction.
