You're not making it easy on us:- mass produ...Good! You're not making it easy on us:<BR/>- mass produced, hyper real, consumerist<BR/>- unitentionally ironic<BR/>- no subculture icons<BR/>- appealing on first sight, repulsive to our better judgement<BR/>- cheap (price-wise)<BR/>- unless meant to be an item of luxury.<BR/><BR/>The "appealing on first sight, repulsive to our better judgement" criterium is a tricky one. It excludes tons of tacky bad kitsch I'd love to bring in. <BR/>For instance the "all-plastic-pink-Barbie-carriage-with-room-for-12-princesses-pulled-by-a-shimmery-white-horse-with-braided-hair". My daughter actually really, badly wanted this as a Christmas gift - I still choke up writing about it...it's not appealing on first sight, on second sight on xth sight. <BR/>This means that this exquisite piece of humonguously bad kitsch does not qualify, right? Sigh.<BR/><BR/>I'm also in favor of the "one Kitsch to rule them all". Let the winning item speak for itself I'd say. <BR/><BR/>Also: I can imagine the possible range of entries is so huge that we need to narrow things down. For instance only 3-dimensional items, no books, films, music (Modern Talking!), advertisements. Reasons: language barriers and uploads might be difficult...<BR/><BR/>Ok, just some thoughts for now. I'll do some advertisement for the contest as well (not that it will help a lot as I only started blogging myself 2 weeks ago...)<BR/><BR/>Dianamooi hoor...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03010467403493546019noreply@blogger.com
