In part 2 I take you on a tour of even more grand and kitschifyingly wonderful monuments of aesthetic in my beloved east San Fernando Valley just outside of Hollywood. This time eye-popping wonders include giant golf balls, plaster families, official city art that says I don’t know what about the city, nipping happy faces, Russian onion domes, ancient Italy, unnatural rock, glittery hemp, an airborne 59 Corvette, Amelia Earhart and a misplaced giant Emmy.
If you haven’t seen Part 1 with the spewing volcanoes, frog families and shoe cars go here now.

I would love to see photos of the revolving bread and milk carton as well as all the other great kitsch in Portland in the real deal Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch at AWMoK.com. Direct link to upload is https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/how-to-submit/ Some of my favorite submissions are when people capture things in their towns and I know Portland abounds.
