I am.........
A lover of all things quirky, kitschy and odd. I am fascinated by people, where they have been, and what they have seen. I hunger for their stories. I have more animal planters than I have plants but have convinced myself that I am seriously conserving water. I like colors that make the neighbors shiver. I also like skirts that swish when I walk. I'm always looking for the elusive golden wrapper in the room full of Wonka bars (and getting quite the sugar high along the way). I break out in a cold sweat when I realize that beautiful roadside wonders are fading away. I like the community of Flickr. I also like a good sweet tea when offered. I want to be a writer and documentary photographer when I grow up (or a fairy princess).
Now, tell me about you...
Please visit me on my website:
Ranch Dressing With Eartha Kitsch

Note: Please Do NOT use my photos without my written consent. It's ugly and it's rude and nobody likes ugly or rude. Chances are, if you ask me to use a photo, and I like what you're doing with it, I will happily oblige! Thank you!
One more note: If you are a faceless icon who has no photos to share with me, I will be forced to block you.

Eartha is like a fairy godmother that appears in a cloud of pixie stix dust and glitter and peanut shells and her glimmering tiara is a little bit crooked and maybe her complicated fairy godmother hairdo has unraveled a bit and there's a strand in her face that she tries to blow away with a bit of a spitting noise but … Read more
Eartha is like a fairy godmother that appears in a cloud of pixie stix dust and glitter and peanut shells and her glimmering tiara is a little bit crooked and maybe her complicated fairy godmother hairdo has unraveled a bit and there's a strand in her face that she tries to blow away with a bit of a spitting noise but she STILL knows how to do magic like any proper fairy godmother and THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.

If ever one needs a laugh or a giggle, or some eye-popping vintage goodies or kitsch, Eartha's is the place to be. Not only that, her imagination and creativity are quite an inspiration. She's very good with the camera and her shots are quite instructive, even when she's clearly just having fun. The magic touch! Add to that her warmth, her soon-to-be-legendary sense of humor, and plain old friendliness, and you have one of the most wonderful people you could possibly find in Flickrville!

If Amy Sedaris, Ed Wood, the Kids in the Hall and Phyllis Diller had a child (I know that's too many people, but stay with me here.), it'd be the one and only Eartha Kitsch! High priestess of all things quirky, slightly twisted and downright absurd, Eartha captures the oddities of life through her artful photographic eye and insightful narratives. Just take a stroll through her photostream and you will find yourself doubled over with laughter at her portrayal of ceramic wildlife, then moments later dabbing at your eyes after her written account of an old home faced on the verge of forced modernization. When someone asks the infamous question: Name 6 people you'd invite to a dinner party, Eartha is the one you want at the head of the table.

Flickr truly opened up since Eartha came into my life! I can't explain it all, but her world is a retro, magical place and we are all fortunate to visit there! She brings daily sunshine with her clever wit, photos of her wonderful world, and her generous spirit and thoughfulness! As Elvis once sang, 'Welcome to my world, won't you come on in... Miracles, I guess, still happen now and then." They certainly do! Thank You, Eartha!
Read lessEartha showed me a new way to view Flickr, as a way to make connections with like-minded folks. She has spun a wonderful 'down-home' community around her and I am happy to be caught in her web. Thanks for entertaining me with your perspective and lovely photos!
Eartha always makes me laugh and feel good. What more could you ask for?

Read lessEartha is a sharp and funny gal who sees the finery in kitsch! She's vivacious and creative and I always enjoy her photos and creative captions!
An artist and a poet. One who embraces everything in the name of care and concern and love for humanity. An artist who connects the plastic dots of our hearts to hers.
Eartha has attracted the world and his wife to her flickr by simply being wonderful, the wonderfulness starts with her love of vintage but then becomes more apparent with her sence of humour and her knowing herself. Eartha is one of the *in* girls that the rest of us aspire to be...sit with me at lunch Eartha?
I don't write these Flickr testimonials often...but Eartha is a rare bird. Whenever I am hating my mundane life - I check in to what happened in Eartha's world and smile.

Then, I laugh, shake my head, and yell out loud in that thrift store shopper's "I just scored!" joy! . This is a wonderful thing. It's needed in our World. So glad she is one of the human forms to bring this to us.

There once was a girl named Ms Kitsch Who had a most irresistible itch. “It’s all the words,” she said, “Swimming round in my head, And if I can’t write them out I just twitch.” One evening while at the typewriter Pulling a literary all-nighter, The paper she tore, Crying, “This is a bore!” And torched it al… Read more
There once was a girl named Ms Kitsch Who had a most irresistible itch. “It’s all the words,” she said, “Swimming round in my head, And if I can’t write them out I just twitch.” One evening while at the typewriter Pulling a literary all-nighter, The paper she tore, Crying, “This is a bore!” And torched it all with a hot lighter. Quite delighted, the flames she first fanned -- Then afrighted, threw buckets of sand. The fire went out, And so did Ms Kitsch, Taking her camera in hand. In her pictures and words, we see thought and light. Eartha shows us her soul, so lively and bright. Could we live without her Flickring through our world? Goodness no, it would always be night! But to return to the limerick pace, Dear Eartha has quite earned her place As the resident hick We all love to lick. Hey, it’s a limerick! One must be base. Who lurves ya, Kelly. *smoooooooches*
Read lessEartha is so many things; a talented photographer, a kind, wise "old soul," witty, intelligent, and someone whose writing shows bravery and vulnerability. She is also, I think, a Surrealist at heart and a damn lucky thrift shopper. What's not to love?
hi, my name is rachael and i am addicted the observations of e. kitsch. if this addiction is wrong, i don't want to be right.
No one on Flickr makes me laugh quite as hard....blend that together with beautifully flowing prose, a keen eye for the utterly absurd, a crisp intellect and of course - gnomes!!! dammit!!! gnomes!!!! It doesn't get much better.
Lil' Miss. Kitsch is a dear. So funny and sweet. Telling stories that make me snort coffee out my nose one minute and the next bringing tears to my eyes with her lovely tributes to her friends and family. Eartha, you are a damn good egg. Don'tcha go changin', you flamin' jitter buggin' Bea Arthur clone.
Eartha tells the best stories, takes lovely photos and of course, has wonderful taste! I don't go a day without checking her photostream!
I think i go through Kitsch withdraw when Eartha is away from the computer for a few days. I have never looked forward to someones adventures more. She is a divine spirit and one of a kind. When I have a dark day, I can be sure Earthas photos cheer me up!!!
Eartha is one of the most delightful spirts I have had the honor of encountered on Flickr. The world according to Eartha is worth checking out on a daily basis. She is a bright light in the world of Flickr
I always look forward to one of Miss (now Mrs.) Kitsch's photo updates. She and the hubby seem like such a fun couple. I know if they lived closer, Frank and I would have them over all the time!
Folks, This is authentic pictoral work. Eartha K. has a gift of vision. An exhaustive viewing of his great works is gratifying.
Eartha Kitsch is a fine gal, one of the finest ever. Not every Southern Belle is such a poetic, adorable, and witty person. Although her mannequin roommate isn't very talkative. Eartha Kitsch deserves, and gets, Tugboat Printshop's "forever stamp"
