Kitsch objects from my flat.


I don't know where my love of Kitsch comes from? It's something else I've questioned from time to time.

I have a dream shop which features in various guises in my dreams & which stocks everything, unusual books/magazines, stuffed animals, novelty toys, childhood sweets, antiques etc in endless combinations of fascinating rooms.

In the photo are Mr Pinchy (the lobster) which was a gift from an ex & is a reference to the Simpsons episode, a Gaydar fan from Manchester pride, a teddy tiara & a viewmaster 3D viewer (plus slides).

Kitsch is difficult to define but its very self aware (you have to be in on the joke or its not kitsch its just a tragedy) & is often a gay trait!

Does anyone know why this is?
