Turkish Kitsch

My heart skipped a beat when I found these wonderful examples of Turkish Kitsch. SOOOO happy that it continues as an underestimated art form around the world.

You gotta love this guy. He would look great in my kitsch room; might provide some real competition for my Mexican movie star with the moustache, the cigarette AND the rooster

Kitsch is not limited to decorations, outdoor overdone places are part of the kitsch scene. Those of you who have seen my antenna tree know what I mean.

Masterful decorating, really. While not technically kitsch, I loved this message. Does it want us to leap to our death OFF the ramp?  But carefully?

This is DEFINITELY kitsch. Do you think these are prom outfits? weddings? funerals? Can’t be everyday wear–whatever would you save for festive occasions?

Now I asked the front desk in Canakkale to show me how to walk to the Stadium. They were confused because there is no game and it is locked. I told him I wanted to take a picture of this.  Why? they wondered. Because it is unique in the world. When I returned both of the guys at the front desk told me they were going to go tomorrow and take a picture. I think kitsch should be addictive.

 

I wish I could have one of these in my house
