Museum of Kitsch


My friend Wendy, she who loves second hand stores and designer clothes, recommended Allee Willis’ Museum of Kitsch to me. She said she found lots of things that she wanted a little too much. Besides, the website is a Lily Tomlin pick for wasting time, according to Time Magazine. What interests me most about the museum is it’s a very personal online collection that often misses the mark on kitsch (she confuses bad taste with sentimentality). Better is her blog, where she collects images that people send in. Her readers’ finds expand and enrich the collection into something really worthy of wading through.
