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.

I posted a vintage blue poodle treasury at Etsy, of which this one is my current favorite. Along with being vintage, blue, and a poodle — wearing glasses, yet! — this one combines my love of fur on figurines and is both a bobblehead and a bank!
It would have been this one, but I already have it!

Mr. Sharpy, the retro pencil sharpener from Sunbeam.
Now, I collect a lot of things — a lot of odd things, mind you. So when I ask you, “Who would collect a photo of a woman screaming?” I seriously want to know.
Even the auction title word-salad has me wondering… “Vintage Color Photo Television Screen Woman Screaming” — who searches for any of that?
…Now, looking at this photo that long, wondering all that, I am three steps closer to bidding.

Dug this t-shirt, circa 1986 and commemorating President Reagan’s U.S. naval fighter action against Muammar Gaddafi, out and put it up on eBay because now it is a true collector’s item. Marking a specific event, it is perhaps even more ephemeral than paper works as these tees were worn and washed until they wore out!
Along with the phrase, “Good Morning Mr. Khadafy… This is your wake-up call,” there’s an F/A-18 (which looks like it’s straight out of Jane’s). I don’t suppose even the mighty US military can wake Muammar up now.
A mugger wants your wallet, but you’re packing a vintage Dukes Of Hazzard wallet, so what do you do? You know the Duke boys wouldn’t just hand it over…
I’m aiming for these gaming pillows featuring the Galaga ship and “bugs.” Via K M Amusements.
