By definition-
1. something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality
I can name at least 5 kitschy things in my house right now
1. Fake flowers
2. Figurines of Little Lu Lu and a Zebra I painted
3. My VILE end tables
4. A fly swatter with a flower glued to it
5. Tin signs screwed to the wall
Yeah I live in a classy house, but either way I just learned what Kitsch is and it cracks me up how popular it is in American society! Garden gnomes, kitten sweaters and leg lamps are just a few of the great things that we as Americans think it okay to add into our decor. I know, most of these things are found in elderly blind people's homes, but in all reality, we did let this happen. I kind of like tacky things sometimes. I think they're fun and have a bit more character than the stuff that falls within the confines of "okay" by society's standards.
