ToTD: kitsch

kitsch: As an art movement, lifestyle, or literature and film genre, kitsch is pleasingly distasteful. It's melodramatic, overdone, gaudy and tacky or sentimental and folksy. It's so bad that it's cool. Your cat might attack it, but it's hot.

Example: Tonga Room at the four seasons hotel is cheesy and kitsch. (from: Lisa)

And it's a blast to have it thunder and lightning and rain while sipping said expensive drinks... :) Might need to make a trip back there again soon...
