Kitsch kit: 2 in 1. When a neon Cat makes light for a *true* wallpaper. |
|

Wonderful are the cats. They are everywhere and take any incarnation they want. They have a kind of… inner kitsch. Therefore, they have no trouble becoming that stunning neon light bulb that immediately brings a meow-smile in the room :
Let there be more light, please.
Ohohoh… yes, this is bright now but… tell, my friend the cat, what’s that newspaper on the wall????
Well, a true wallpaper, since it is the reprint of old newspapers used to decorate the walls -we saw something similar in AWMoK already, didn’t we?
This wallpaper comes from around 1976 and have no idea if it’s still produced nowadays. The neon cat arrived in that very room in the beginning of the 80’s and is still active.
Thank you, bad Cat for the light and the kitsch!

I went insane for these light bulbs when they first came out. I had cats, dogs, peace signs, sunflowers, hands with fingers in peace formation as well as giving the finger. This one looks excellent against the newspaper wall.
Wow a CertifiKitsch! Glad glad glad!
At the time, I remember a school friend, who was probably more devoted to his religion than to any kind of kitsch, had a Christian cross neon bulb like that. Which made me want to have a cat.
I surely had a kitschy childhood, those were the disco / Star Wars days (nostalgic mood on).
Do you still have pictures of yours, Allee?
I unfortunately don’t have photos or the bulbs themselves anymore. Although I would save such things now even after they burned out that was too early in my evolution as a collector to realize I should be holding on to things once they no longer worked. I do remember thinking they were the most gorgeous things ever. I stared at mine constantly.
