Campy
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 1:08AM
Jean- Claude Suares describes 'camp' as the "good taste of bad taste" in his article "A Designer's Guide to Schlock, Camp, and Kitsch-and the Taste of Things to Come". If an object is described as campy, it has been mas produced and seen so many times by so many people that it is not recognized as ugly or in bad taste. Camp is considered to be tacky, cheezy and in many cases is drawn up or based on something from the past. These keepsakes are circulated throughout society depending on what is popular at the time and one can never predict what campy item will be hot next.
My Pinterest shows examples of campy items.
