These are all of comments I've made about all the beautiful Kitsch in the Kitschenette Wing of the AWMoK:

   This is so complicated I can't believe it! I am so grossed out that they are "reusable" and made of plastic and paper. It is from the same unsanitary train of thought as this: http://www.go-girl.com/

   "Use it as a special adhesive material" I guess for all those special times glue and tape don't hold!

   This is incredibly sexy! I love their silly bee costumes and beautiful wings.

Sneakers add personality to this lion …

   That is a strong looking Jackalope. The Jackalope is one of my favorite animals, and as a kid didn't know the term or critter "antelope" for years because of it.

   THANK YOU! I put a lot of love into this-- for whatever reason! I did this over the course of one day, over x-many hours. I feel like the intense motivation to make the project started at noon and ended around 8pm. That includes all the shopping and printing and cutting and spray painting and Photoshopping a logo... I never complete anything with such intense motivation!

   I think I love the Miss Georgia Pageant so much because I found the program in a junk shop when looking for an old Guess Who board game, and it completely pulled the whole project together instantly. I still don't know why anyone would hold onto the program for 27 years.

   As far as making things, typically I just do a lot of drawing. A few years back I got into stop motion animation and tried really hard to incorporate more craft material than "professional" material-- castings and molds and BLAH. The height of that was this: http://mooshe.net/rhino.html But it's been a while and I have to save up for a new film..

   Oh goody, maybe I DO make STUFF more often than I thought. Last Halloween I made my costume: http://mooshenickerson.blogspot.com/2009/11/shoctober-31st.html

   I seem to have one ridiculous craft project in me every few months, which means something good is about to happen again!

   Should have mentioned it... I made this! (My friends had a hand in this as well.)

   I've tried selling this before, but it only inspires people to create their own versions. Which overlooks how unique the 1982 Miss Georgia pageant roster is.

   When it's explained it sounds impossible, but it kind of works like the game Apples to Apples where you get on the same wavelength as your friends and can actually start to figure out the associations being made. Besides, it's a fantastic way to make a game originally targeted at 4 year olds challenging again!
