These are all of comments I've made about all the beautiful Kitsch in the Kitschenette Wing of the AWMoK:

Oh fellow child star

   It is all because my mother, De Loice Fenwick, was a magical being. Of course she was, she was born on the twenty-first day of September!

   I really wish I could find my sisters third and final TV pilot. She should have been the kid in a TV show. The third pilot she made was for a show called "Atta Boy Mamma" which was way ahead of it's time. It was about a single mother of four children trying to make ends meet. It was to star Ann Southern. The sponsor was Colgate and they green lit the show. One detail: they wanted Ms. Southern to drop 20 pounds. She told them to go to Hell. That was the end of that. Frustrated, my sister decided to quit the biz. Since I was only three and just doing a few commercials here and there Mom took me out too. Mom was tired of all this. This boys quit when they got into high school so she wanted to lead a "normal life"

   But things are never normal for us: at the age of five, a talent scout from the Pat Boon show came to my Kindergarten class and picked me to sing a song on the show. Mom realized she had never given me a choice in the matter and it looked like fate was intervening so she asked me if I wanted to work and at the age of five I said "get me an agent and a SAG card, I'm ready to go!"

   Chris is the boy in the red jacket. This trailer is pretty kitschy!

   Hee hee, that's not the only one (though he is the first acting Olsen) The next sibling, Christopher Robin, was in a little film called "The Man Who Knew Too Much" He was the first person to record the song, "Que Sera Sera" - before Doris Day. I have fond memories of watching Chris in this movie walking down the stairs in with a gun to his head. Another treat was seeing him being attacked by James Mason with scissors in the movie "Bigger Than Life".

   Mom says my sister, Diane was the best actor of us four. We suspect this was because all of Diane's stuff was done for TV and not available to see so nobody could disprove it. Every one of us was "discovered" and worked against our father's wishes.

   My sister and I had a mission when we first got VCRs (in the early 80s) we recorded I Love Lucy Episodes so that if one of us was in the hospital the other could bring the healing powers of Lucy.

   Is that a pit stain under his arm? :-D I took a Bhangra dancing class years ago with my sister. I'm not so good at Indian dancing, I'm better at Indian cooking... but I'm best at Indian eating.

   Glad you love Shammi! It seems each video I find is better than the last. He makes me smile so hard my face hurts. And he grew up to be such a lovely old man.

   Namaste Shammi Ji

   AND if anyone is as weird as me and thinks that Indian Beatles video cuts off too soon, here is the whole thing. It is the one I recommend watching from start to finish because it just gets better. SOOO 60s!!

   Please note "Shinging" is a combination of "shining " and "singing" ...OK I made that up, it was a typo. But he is shining and singing! I really hope you all enjoy - this may be an acquired taste but Shammi opens my Kitsch Chakras! And I am working on a piece of Fluffart that expresses this.

Bye, Bye Oprah…

   My mother adored Oprah. When she was bed ridden my Dad kept the TV on ABC 24/7 for the two times a day that Oprah came on. He would go in and watch with her. It was one thing she always came to the surface of reality to enjoy.

   I got this notice so things must be OK! I'm not sure when the next WTF fest is. I will look into it. I had the fabulous experience of seeing Korla Pandit live in 1995. Tripppy trippy! I had no idea who he was at the time and no web browsers back then to find out. I have keyboard playing friends who edumacated me. :-)

   Wait a minut I meant Korla Pandit. Dislexia grrr!

   HOW did I miss this whole thing???? My email alerts are not working. But I am excusing my laziness. I say we all go to the What the FLuff Festival in September! One of life's little treasures was being home and realizing. "I have new fluff in the cupboard!" My coffee sang. And Mel, I put in Meshugga Beach Party and my son said "This is cool!" This surprised me because I know he hates surf music. Then he saw the cover and said "This is awesome! The photoshop of them all on the surf board is genius!" If you knew how much my son believes he is too cool for the planet, you would have a clue how rare these compliments are and be very flattered. Oh and I like it too! Great guitar, tasty drums and the organ has such a "Carnival of Souls" meets Pandit Korla feel that rocks.

   I watched them film the opening credits when I was a kid!

   Oh my, I was doing a google image search and this came up! I must ask if this is the whole photograph or if it was cropped this way (actually it's brilliantly cropped) I need a good resource image of the Vroom Broom for a painting I am currently working on (No, not Fluffart - and I may use brushes and pigments and canvass - Oh my!) All the images I have found of the Vroom Broom are tragically pixelated. If there is more to this one I would be forever in gratitude if I could get a full scan.

   In Fluffitude,

   Susan

This is Kitsch that I'm jealous of in the Kitschenette Wing of the AWMoK:
