Where do I buy the dashboard hula dolls?
 
You know, the little hula dancers with grass skirts that you can stick on your dash? Where can I get one, and please don't say Hawaii!<BR><BR>I have no special love for Hawaii, they just crack me up.

Have you checked at Hilo Hattie's? There's a store in California at the Block at Orange.

If there's not a Hilo Hattie near you, they've also got them on their web site (www.hilohattie.com) for $8.99.

You know, sing along...<BR><BR><BR>I don't care if rains or freezes<BR>Long as I've got my plastic Jesus<BR>Glued upon the dashboard of my car<BR><BR> I can go 100 miles per hour<BR>Long as I've got the almighty power<BR>Glued upon the dashboard of my caaaar!

Thanks for the laughs Jesus.

glad to make you laugh! After all, it's a classic and you don't hear it BLASTED in elevators or supermarkets!!!

Pat Jul 31st, 2002 04:53 AM

They had dashboard hula dolls at my local Target in Michigan.

Kay Jul 31st, 2002 05:33 AM

I don't think my brother's native Hawaiian friends are offended by dolls like these. In fact, some work in the shows at the hotels and many depend on tourists for their livelihood.<BR><BR>As for the doll, I'd like to have a dog with the springy head like we used to have in the car, too.

hilo Jul 31st, 2002 05:44 AM

Thanks for the tips! I don't think I'll offend too many native Hawaiians (I live in the Northeast), and if I do, &#**'em if they can't take a joke.

Tears in my eyes from holding back laughter, must close my office door, everyone will know, my work isn't this funny. Thanks for the morning humor! Struck me as very funny, could be my antihistamine...regardless thx.

billy Jul 31st, 2002 09:21 AM
