Nielo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the rules, they can be found right here. If you want to send me a screenshot of your entry (instead of the image DTI provides) but don't know how, check out this guide. Current theme: Kitschy KacheekDescription: Dress up a Kacheek in a kitschy* style.Entering period: Monday, September 21 - Sunday, September 27Voting period: Monday, September 28 - Sunday, October 4 *I'm honestly not sure if there is a strict definition of "kitschy", or if it's more "in the eye of the beholder", so this is probably a pretty broad theme. Anyway, if you have any questions about this round, or the Runway in general, just post them here, or send me a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I suppose Kitschy is another word for Tacky ? this can be lots of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Kitschy: (of art, objects, or design) considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way. So essentially the complete opposite of 'Living With Less' ironically!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secre Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Just now, Angeló said: no entiendo nada i don't even speak Spanish but really I still don't know what this word means Hah! Go over the top, lots of frills and ruffles and excess decorations and it should meet the definition nicely. I think I have an idea... although, it's perhaps pushing the definition a little bit!!

CoconutDragon Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think the best embodiment of 'kitsch' that you get IRL is like, a boutique antique or second hand shop? Not like UK charity shops, but more some individual's collection of random knick-knacks. Wiktionary says "questionable aesthetic value"... That said, I don't have a Kacheek so I'm sitting this one out anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contests are designed in such a way that anyone can enter. Technically, you don't even have to have a Neopets account (I mean, not sure what you'd be on doing on here then, but still ). That's one of the reasons why entries are made on Dress To Impress - all pets are available to customise on there. Also, when creating this thread, I totally had a tab open with the definition of 'kitschy' and had every intention of linking to it in my original post, but I guess I forgot. So thanks for posting & discussing its definitions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalladalla Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This sounds really fun! It will be my second time participating ^-^ (and this is my first time commenting on a topic, so... hello!) I only know what Kitsch is because I learned that on Art class haha aleu1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleu1986 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 kitschy So tacky or lame that is has a certain ironic appeal. Hmm, now to come up with an entry... Edit: Sent in my entry now, I was kind of drawing a blank, so I just put together something that was very mis-match and ugly, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
