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

   Saving the tv collecting for some far-off date when I'm in a house out here instead of a big fat studio apartment.

   This looks like a lot more fun (and certainly safer) than my other favorite kitschy weapon, the thankfully short-lived "Pez" gun.

   Yep, that's the remote, all right. Thanks for posting that --- it's great!

   1965 is a year or two later than I had guessed from the design of the remote!

   What I find so intriguing is the fact that there are handmade, non-factory umbrella covers represented. It's one thing to collect something, another to find unique, handmade objects that you can't imagine anyone taking the time to construct with such intensity of labor (like the bubble gum wrapper umbrella cover).

   Sadly, Allee, there's no rewarding "click," just the fluid, springy resistance of the plastic pushing back at you.

   Now the purportedly pristine pair of Zenith Space Command remotes that are on their way, those are some good ol' clickity clickers. Will post 'em as soon as they're outta the box.
