Re: The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch is coming September 14th! See the trailer clip at www.AWMoK.com/comingsoon - and please help us spread the word to your readers!

Hey Nina! I was looking at the incredible collection of vintage goodies on your blog and thought that you and your readers would be interested in the wonderful world of Allee Willis. Her mind-boggling, world-famous kitsch collection will make its internet debut on September 14th at The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch website, coinciding with her week-long transformation of Los Angeles' Ghettogloss Gallery into a veritable temple to the gods of kitsch. In her Museum of Kitsch, Allee will also showcase selected treasures from other collectors across the kitsch diaspora - we would love for you and any like-minded friends to participate! And of course, if you're in town, we'd love to see you at the gallery from the 14th to the 21st! Here are all the details:

From world-renowned Grammy, Emmy, Tony, and Webbie award-winning and nominated songwriter (with over 50 million records sold!) and visionary multimedia artist Allee Willis comes the long-awaited Grand Opening of "The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch" - by far the largest and most gloriously supreme virtual repository of kitsch and kitsch-related human interaction this planet has ever seen! What is kitsch? Step into the wild and wonderful world of Allee Willis to find out!

Launching globally on September 14th with a spectacular week of live events and a progressive YouTube festival of eight original Allee-crafted "What Is Kitsch?" short films (see the trailer at www.AWMoK.com/comingsoon), The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch (www.AWMoK.com) will showcase an ever growing, mind expanding panoply of utterly delightful items from Allee's legendarily massive private collection (as seen at www.AlleeWillis.com/blog in her wildly popular "Kitsch O' The Day" blog). The site will also encourage like-minded "aKitschionados" around the globe to send in digital images and descriptions of their own prized kitsch treasures, which Allee will personally curate, adding the cream of the kitschy crop to The Museum's collection. In the "Kitschenette" section, visitors to The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch ("Allee's Legendary Landfill of Esthetic Essentials With Intrinsic Life Lessons In Soul") will be able to share their favorite kitsch and interact with other like-minded aKitschionados - including Allee herself, live from her kitsch command center at Willis Wonderland, the party pad built for MGM in 1937 and the physical location of The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch.

Allee would love for you to be a part of the luminous launch of The Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch! Your coverage would be most appreciated starting on Monday, September 14th and/or during the entire week of the AWMoK launch, as the "What Is Kitsch?" videos are posted each day on YouTube. Please spread the word to your readers and friends, share the "What Is Kitsch?" video links (available soon by request, and daily at www.AWMoK.com beginning September 14th) - and if you're in Los Angeles, you are cordially invited to join Allee in person for the most fabulously kitschy kitsch events you could possibly ever imagination!

During the course of an action-packed week at the newly relocated Ghettogloss art gallery on Melrose in Los Angeles, Allee will be displaying hundreds of amazing artifacts from her rarely-seen-in-person kitsch collection and will frequently be on hand greeting visitors and discussing the Allee Willis Museum of kitsch. Allee's grand kitsch exhibition will feature two fabulous AWMoK launch parties (on Monday, Sept. 14th and Monday, Sept. 21st); the debut of her delightful "What Is Kitsch?" short film series; Allee's unveiling of her featured "Kitsch O' The Day" blog item live at noon daily in the gallery's front window on L.A.'s ever-popular Melrose Avenue; her usual megaton of scrumptious junk food; specially created gourmet treats from L.A.'s hottest new restaurant, Susan Feniger's Street, of which Allee is part owner; live auctions of spectacular kitsch masterpieces hand-picked by Allee herself; a first-time-ever public raffle to win a guided tour of Allee's exclusively private Willis Wonderland; a not-to-be-missed karaoke sing-off of Allee's classic Earth Wind & Fire hit, "September," at the party on the night of the 21st ("Do you remember...the 21st night of September...?"); plus many more kitschy surprises for those lucky enough to be there.

Allee will be live on the mic during the entire course of both parties, hosting the festivities as only Allee Willis can (see www.alleewillis.com/parties/parties-home.htm for a glimpse into some of her legendary, star-studded soirees). As People magazine puts it, "invitations to Allee Willis' ultra-exclusive parties...are the campiest hot tickets in L.A." - but if you can't make it to Ghettogloss, you can still witness this kitsch history in the making, as all of the events will be webcast live!

Allee Willis is so indelibly connected to kitsch that for many years Dictionary.com actually cited her name in the very definition of the word. She has been collecting kitsch for over 30 years, and her Streamline Moderne house and its kitschy contents have been prominently featured in hundreds of books and magazines. A brief sampling of her vast spectrum of kitschievements:
She discovered and nurtured the creme de la creme kitsch act of all time, The Del Rubio Triplets.
She counts Los Angeles billboard icon Angelyne among her closest friends.
She wrote and produced fitness guru Richard Simmons' first album.
She was labeled‚ "one of the most dangerous subversives living in the U.S.," by the Russian newspaper Pravda when they mistranslated her life-affirming hit "Neutron Dance" into a nuclear-annihilation-themed "Neutron Bomb."
She recently created the YouTube smash hit "Hey Jerrie," featuring herself and Jerrie Thrill, a 91-year-old female drummer/singer on an oxygen tank.
She wrote the theme song to the TV series "Friends."

"I love Kitsch," explains Allee, "be it an object, photo, person, song, performance, anything - because it reflects moments in pop culture that make people smile when they remember them. Kitsch artifacts - Snuggies, Pet Rocks, Eva Gabor chin straps and the like - are distinctive and evocative because someone believed in themselves and their idea enough to see it through despite it being off from the norm. Self-expression and creativity are the road to self-esteem and happiness. That's what's always driven me, as I crush high and low art together to escape the middle where not much happens. I am kitsch."
