World of Kitsch "Kitsch" comes from the German word for "trash" and is defined as something of poor taste and quality. But this site broadens the term to include music, celebrities, film, and everything that is desirably hideous. Explore the fabulously tacky excesses of Christmas kitsch and all that glittered for the Golden Jubilee of Britain's Queen Elizabeth. Recline in wonderfully outlandish inflatable furniture -- perfect for the modern home, but not suited for knitters. Toast clocks, decorated toilet seats, and the Bee Gees epitomize the world of kitsch. From the shagadelic kitsch of lava lamp to spiritually kitschy porcelain praying children, this site wallows in treasures that others might consider trash. (in Pop Culture)
