Kitsch

Revolution is in the air at the palace of Versailles - and, this time, it has nothing to do with an unpopular leader and his fashion-conscious wife (although things could be better for Sarko and Carla, it has to be said). Delighting contemporary art fans and dismaying some of France's most august historians, Jeff Koons is flying in this September to exhibit some of his most famous works in the ch

For those who thought Big Mouth Billy Bass was the ultimate in entertainment, here's "the trophy rack you've always wanted"...Jingle Jugs (NOT SAFE FOR WORK...DUH!), which jiggle and play "Titties & Beer" (not the Frank Zappa song, unfortunately, but the far dumber one by raunchy country comic Rodney Carrington)!

Para aquellos que no saben qué es la industria Bollywoodense, es simplemente la industria cinematográfica más grande, aún muy por encima de la industria cinematográfica norteamericana. Las películas de Bollywood son películas realizadas en India, un género muy específico. Esta industria produce promedio 900 películas anuales, mientras que en Estados Unidos se producen promedio 500 pel

Compiled another set of Happy Poo Friends with a new member : Baby Cream Blob Poo. :DListed on Etsy. You can view the listing and buy HERE.After finishing that, I had more drive to make stuff... Hence this rainbow keychain. :) The vintage mock fries is the kitschiest thing ever. :DThis piece is loaded with all sorts of treasures; little sparkly acrylic beads, colourful seed beads, vintage buttons, a glass bead and embellished felt charms. Up for grabs HERE.

One thing I’ve always wanted to do is visit Las Vegas’ Neon Boneyard - “a collection of non-restored historic signs [from the Vegas strip] outdoors on a 3 acre site in Las Vegas”. The entire concept is so kitschy cool that it’s irresistible to me. Check out this Flickr set for a taste.

Future Shock (Orson Welles Intro)What is the complex relationship between time, technology and culture? Is something of another era that still resonates a mirror, a portal, a paralellism, an echo of the present (as tenuous and ephemeral as present,now and new are of course in their near ghostflesh in the face of contexts, time and progression)?W&S 030 - Video Moroso - V-V-V-V-V-VCRWhat is appropriation and sampling in relation to archaeology? How are artifacts colored by their time....its semiotics....its cliche's....and how it mutates in the rear view ? Spice Polaroid VictoriaWhat falls away like booster rockets on space flights, flash then dead and away in segmented time from a now? What is the progression and is it in pieces or is it more mote by mote, atom by atom erasure into the "now" skidding along into its ephemerality and end? How does this relate to dissent? To protest? To its images in time? What of today, july 18th is already disassemblin

Yum Yum Yum. Semk's cupcake speakers are a world away from your average girly gizmo. Normally, I would run a mile from this kind of ultra frou-frou, pastel twinkiness, but these little objects are somehow different. Maybe it's because it looks like a cake and I LOVE CAKE. Of one thing, however, I am sure. A couple of the guys at Mondo Giz would love them - basically because they look like a pneumatic pair of tits, the nipples covered by heart-shaped pasties. No prizes for guessing who I'm thinking of, eh, Jason and Jesus? Fresh out of the factory, there's no word on price or availability yet, and the Semk site is playing silly buggers right now, but I reckon these will sell like hot cakes. Oh dear. -Addy Dugdale [Technabob]

Kitchy isn’t always bad as it is with these totally luxe and vintage wall plates ($10 USD) from Mahar Drygoods - purveyor of fine vintage and artisan crafted products. Designed by husband and wife team Nicole and Mark Lewis at Fondue Art and Design, the wall plates are made from actual vintage wallpapers dating [...]

Kitsch took these pics when we got de-iced last month.It's the law in Canada that we can't attempt to take off if there is any contamination on any critical surface on the aircraft. Contaminants are anything that sticks on the wings, like snow, slush, ice, freezing drizzle, hordes of winged monkeys, etc. Critical surfaces are those used for lift, like the wings, elevators, and tail.So suppose we want to go flying when it's snowing outside; at Toronto Pearson, we will incur some time and expense. First, we fax in a request to use the central de-ice facility at Toronto. That costs $455.00, and that's just the cost of us showing up. We then taxi down to the central facility and get in line to get de-iced, like we did in these pics a few weeks ago. The ground controller will pass us off to the de-ice controller, who we call Iceman even though she's a woman (with a really sultry voice actually). She tells us what de-ice bay to taxi toward, and gets us all set up for the de-ice tr

How do you like my little vintage domestic diva? It's one of those treasures you find at the Austin "keep-it-weird" City-Wide Garage Sale.Somehow, I am compelled to find alternative uses for household items (especially if the object announces its function on the front, 1966 Dava ceramic above) - like the recycled plant pot with a great platinum-gold patina for Yasmine's pencils... I never think of blooms when I find a pretty pot - being the one with the brown thumbs in this house - so I use them for brushes, pencils, kitchen utensils, combs and hairbrushes...

Kitsch and I are in Orlando, Florida. I tell you, this state is where IQ's go to die. It must be the heat.At least the flight down was nice - we had clear blue sky for the whole trip, and the air was smooth. The pax in the back were happy and content, and Kitsch's landing was of sufficient quality that we could use the airplane again afterwards, so it was all good. I mean, sure the controllers had us descending 200 miles out, and we watched our fuel burns double for the last half-hour, but hey, it's only money.We arrived around 1pm today, and taxied over to US Customs for clearance. The US Customs ramp in Orlando is funny - you can taxi the airplane there, but it also holds cars, so we pulled up right next to a Customs SUV and then shut down to await our officers.Customs has a special way of doing things here, a way that involves different forms and procedures than anywhere else I have ever been, and the 2 officers were very surprised to hear that not everywhere makes private f

So I was looking through the Marc Jacobs website and found under the title "Special Items" all the weird plastic-y 'made in China' accessories that I saw last night at the West Village boutique. Now I tried to do a little research on this and I can't really shed much more light on it, other than my opinion....the collection of items varied from all sorts of kitschy plastics like initial key chains, "stinky rat" key chains (a little plastic rat w/Marc Jacobs written on it), a band-aid pack/whistle (plastic w/Marc Jacobs written on it), a pen shaped like a lipstick (???), some resin rings (3$), resin heart pins (8$)...and the list goes onnnnnn. A bit strange, it was kind of like "Marc Jacobs does H&M"....In retrospect a lot of his items are now made in China, which to me is a sign of quality going down-hill...poor stitching, ill fit...etc. I don't know, I suppose some of these things were kind of fun, definitely affordable, but I'm just not sure what the point is?? I couldn't g

In the now classic “A Christmas Story” set in the 1940’s, the father character is overjoyed when he receives via freight mail his “Major Award” for winning a bowling tournament.  To his wife’s horror, it is a fishnet stockinged leg.  The narrator called it “electric sex” in the window.  I received a similar trinket as a gift this year from my sister-in-law and it’s received mixed reviews around the house.  My son laughed when he saw it lit up.  My daughter is still laughing at it while it buzzes in the kitchen.  My wife has already informed me it will not be hung anywhere INSIDE the house . . . lol.  I love those movie parallels to real life.  Only difference is, come to think of it, the dad in “A Christmas Story” got to keep his lamp in the house . . . that is until someone accidentally broke it.  Truth be told, I would hate to think what my home would look like if I were still a bachelor, but then again, IR

I'd like to welcome Jennifer and kitsch:in:sync to the blog; they have graciously accepted my invitations to post here any time they wish. I am excited to share in their flying experiences and their thoughts and opinions on aviation and life.I'll leave it to them to talk further about their backgrounds if they so choose.
