This is the latest version of Kitschy-Kitschy-Coo.com, powered by WordPress. But guess what, we've been bringing you the best (or worst) of kitsch and collectibles for 8 years.
It seems you can 3D print anything these days, from a bikini to a gum-chewer’s face to a gun — but some people in Colorado are putting the technology to an even better use: manufacturing fake mustaches in fancy colors!

Garry Moore, narrator of The Right Man (a show about past American presidential campaigns which aired prior to the 1960 election), wearing “headgear suggesting the days of Abe Lincoln (stovepipe), Grover Cleveland (soft beaver), Teddy Roosevelt (Rough Rider model) and something that looks as if it might be a brown derby.”
An case of retro kitsch collectibles, including Care Bears, My Little Ponies, figurines, jewelery and bits and bobs in sheer pastel bags, and whatnot at Antiques On Broadway in Fargo, ND.
Vintage newspaper ad for Shell gasoline with TCP, 1959, featuring illustrated cars so cute I could coo!
