abc wednesday - K is for "kitsch"


I took this picture in Red Hook, Brooklyn.  If I lived in this house with the
picture window right on the sidewalk, I'd probably preserve my privacy
with a curtain of lush plants.  These homeowners have opted to share their
Betty Boop collection—which is entertaining if a bit bizarre.

  1. Each to his/her own, I guess! "My" Betty Boop was at least in a shop window.

    I still kind of like these, though I don't think I'd put them in my own window!

  2. I like the plant idea though the Boops are fun. Good K word.

  3. I wonder what the garden gnomes think about it. This reminds me of a house located on a main road heading into the city ~ they have plate glass windows on their front verandah and there's a mannequin dressed in a nun's habit on display. I still haven't figured it out.

  10. It may be a bit bizarre but it is almost like a store window with its display. I'm glad Bibi chimed in with her link as I was going to mention it. Great minds....
