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 6 years.
I had a whole plastic baggy full of these vintage / retro plastic toy puppets from NSP Northern States power Co. One side has Reddy Kilowatt, the other Reddy Flame. I’m not sure gas and electricity are things you want to encourage your kids to play with but… Or small plastic bags either. But you can catch the remaining ones at Listia and eBay.

Toddler with a group of reptilian friends at The Luna Park Alligator Farm in Lincoln Heights, California – c. 1920s
Little boy with a pillow strapped on his backside in order to soften the falls while ice skating. The Netherlands, 1933.
A lovely real photo postcard of a little girl sitting on the steps.

Photo found inside Vacation On Wheels booklet, by Maury Delman, distributed by National Research Bureau, Inc. No date; circa 1970s.
The cover of God In My Kitchen: Fifty-Two Thoughts For Homemakers, by Dorothy C. Haskin. (I’m giving one away in this contest! Or you can find it on Amazon
In the acknowledgements:
The kitchen shown on the cover was designed by Home Guide Inc., using General Electric appliances. We are indebted to these organizations for the picture.
Personally, I never got over that documentary we were shown in collage. Ever since then, whenever someone says “GE” or “General Electric,” I scream, “Babies born without skulls!” …I guess that’s one type of atomic kitchen.
Mitch O’Connell presents these vintage ads presenting babies wrapped in plastic. Can’t help but think of Twin Peaks
(Found via Sloth Unleashed who found it viacargohoo /BoingBoing.)
