kitsch |ki ch | noun art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way : the lava lamp is an example of sixties kitsch | [as adj. ] kitsch decor.

I guess I don't like things for kitsch sake. I like lava lamps because I think they are cool, not because I think they suck.

Capt Jack · 07-06-2007, 04:02 PM

agreed.

I miss my lava lamp.

katiesue · 07-06-2007, 04:53 PM

Ahh but I think pink flamingoes are cool, lava lamps not so much.

innerSpaceman · 07-06-2007, 05:58 PM

I think flamingoes are totally cool.

I don't know if anyone really meant to bring them to Swank Camp ... but I think they were merely an anticipatory metaphor for the swank that would be less visual and more of a feeling that would emminate from the hillside that was home to everything and everyone between Tiki Camp and Lounge Camp.

None of it could really be seen (Ok, maybe inside my Tent of Posh), but certainly could be felt.

Swank is where the heart is.

Awww, Swank is where the heart is. That needs to be cross-stitched and put in someone's foyer.

One more for the minority here.

Perhaps lawn Gnomes would be better for the woods?

blueerica · 07-06-2007, 10:05 PM

I'm less for kitsch than most. But I kind of enjoy lawn gnomes. But I wouldn't keep one on my lawn without my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. I wonder if they make them with corny(ier) looks on their faces.

No wonder no one could ever figure out between GD and CP which was the boy and which the girl. CP used to dress like a boy and GD like a girl.
