I feel the same way about " kitsch" I don't like to equate it with tiki. I've always had the eye for a higher style of tiki anyway. Its been my experience up until recently that kitsch was kind of meant as a slam. I can remember finding an original Herman Miller bubble lamp in a thrift store in MT for 2 bucks about 20 yrs ago and the lady in the isle with me said in her most condescending manner " Oh I see you like that kitsch stuff" ( and in my head I said back to her FU bitch)
