2014 Tiki Fest Palm Springs; Lizard Ricky meets Shag!

I couldn't be more excited. Biggest surprise in a long time. Hooters and I were in PS for the final hurrah of the Palm Springs Follies, and to our extreme amazement we passed the Curve Hotel only to see the 2014 Tiki Caliente fest in full swing.We were on a tight schedule so I pulled in for a quick
pic of me poolside then off again. 

However I spotted a Cocktail party in the Hotel Lobby,and in true Lizard Ricky form I crash it! Sooooo glad I did! Turns out It was a meet and greet for "Shag" the artist! Shag is my all time favorite artist and the inspiration for the Lizard Ricky cartoon of myself. 


To my pleasure and the pleasure of all who attended the meet and greet were the many pieces of Shags artwork.
You may think you have never heard of him, however you most likely have. His foot print is all over Disneyland. I posted a couple of samples of his work here on my blog. I believe Shag to be the Grand pooh bah of the mid century modern art movement that is so popular now. He really owns this style. 

I so love his work and was very excited to get my picture taken with him. He has a wonderful gallery in Palm Springs and it is a must see when visiting the desert. 

Next time your in the desert cities or visiting Disneyland seek out the the artwork of Shag. You'll be glad you did.

Please take time to visit the lizard Ricky resort wear on storenvy. And may you always have sweet suntanned cash filled dreams. 

Paradise Isle Pool Club at Lorick Manor is Open

"Lorick Manor" is our home. Mama Hooters and I came up with the name when we bought the home. Its a combination of both our first names. Paradise Isle is the name of our pool. We start heating the pool in May and through September. The Pool is our baby,for Hooters and I the pool is just another room in the house. 

My pride and joy is this pool I love it like a child. Hooters and I don't have children so the pool takes the place of a child. I give it all my love and attention as if it were my only beloved. I lift its diapers and wash its tiles, I wipe out the leaves. I feed it chlorine to clean its waters. I add water when its thirsty. "ITS NOT WEIRD" 

OK its weird. I'm being funny, my point is I love this pool. Truly its outdoor living at its best. Its true Southern California living. You may notice that there are chairs facing almost all directions. East,West,North and South. I want to be able to be is the sun at anytime through out the day. As the sun moves so can I to maximize my tanning. 

Four umbrellas cover each point of the yard. As I have stated before an umbrella is very important to the overall Suntanning experience. Please take note that the chairs are in the direct sun but the tables are covered by the umbrellas. I enjoy a cool beverage when taking in the sun. The umbrella is to keep my drink sheltered from the harmful rays of the sun. the harmful UV rays of the sun melt my ice cubes. 

Sooooo you can see the how the umbrella plays a very important part in the tanning process.

This past month I've been working the landscaping. Planting flowers and trimming dead branches to get the yard ready for a long hot summer full of wonderful sun filled days in the pool.

As T shirt weather and vacations start, stop by the Lizard Ricky Resort Wear store and check out the new Larger sizes in the Lizard Ricky Tee,s.

Mama  Hooters and I wish you a Happy summer filled the friends and family.

And as always I wish you Sweet Suntanned Cash Filled Dreams.

Lizard Ricky; The sage of sun, The sultan of tan, The liege of leisure.
