There's nothing kitschy about this photograph per se but there's no doubt that Lily Tomlin has one of the all-time greatest senses of kitsch on the planet. Lily and Jane have been partners forever and Jane...

I was flippin' over this bar. Kidney shaped, black metal. This incredible bar is moderately decorated with some choice pieces of kitsch. I was strapped for time and it was killing me that I could not...

This disco kitsch came from one of my favorite rooms at "Willis Wonderland". I was determined when there to photograph every item in this room. I think I accomplished that and these disco items really are...

No, the photo below isn't Brooke Shields during her well-documented post-partum depression, nor is it a mug-shot, it's simply the plastic head of the model-actress from the 1982 "BROOKE SHIELDS - THE WORLD'S...

Cute container for your Horse Radish with a malformed hybrid horse/horseradish head on top.
It doesn't have any marks, but I assume it's some sort of 1950s Pixieware/Holt-Howard inspired knockoff.
Too...

Not only is this an excellent salad/party condiments serving piece but it serves just as well as a conversation piece as its composition is a complete mystery. I haven't been able to come to a 100% consensus...

I have always been fascinated by the Mr. Peanut man and to this day can't figure out why this image (and all the kitsch it covers) is still incredibly popular. I came across these Mr Peanut items while rifling...

"Dish Night" at the Movies...was a big hit at Movie Houses all across the country. It was a huge promotion for the theatres, and it had tons of ladies showing up once a week to collect a complimentary...

Not sure if this is very politically correct and not sure what it is. Is it a Ubangi doll? My partner won this at a school carnival when he was a little kid back in the 1950's (can you imagine?). The doll stands...

not kitsch, but from a very kitsch heavy era - my mom was a prolific artist from when she was a young girl, creating many paintings. She stopped working on major pieces soon after marrying my dad. Works...

These incredibly framed creations were a gift to Prudence from her friend Paul. I believe these are 3-dimensional in design and are made of paper! They really are incredible when standing face to face with...

Japan, though a fairly conservative place, is a little less hung up about some things than Americans. Drinking beer, for instance. Along those lines comes Kids' Beer!
When you pour Kids' Beer, it...

No expense spared for the kids in this house. This was part of a recent fun estate sale. Bought nothing...I just snapped away.

Found this *sweet* plaque at a dollar store in Montreal. Bought as inspiration for our daughter, who was potty training at the time. Needless to say, it had the opposite effect and it was promptly removed from...

This is one of the areas in "Willis Wonderland" that just makes me nuts. I forgot to include the stairs in a previous post, so here they are in all their kitschified glory. These open air steps lead to the...

Inexplicable flea market find of the weekend, this overly cute bank that is made to look like a Japanese-style toilet. My mom called me over to the flea market booth and said "look at this cute bank!" ...

I got this squirrel planter last week when I was up in Sonoma recording. At least I think it's a squirrel. Maybe it's a gopher, or even a beaver. I'm not that up on my animals with buck teeth but whatever it...
