    I’m OUTRAGED that this didn’t receive a certificate! you should be really scared, cause shes gonna get you!

    this is in our pantry…her hair is either made of burnt cotton balls or its actually singed afro hair, but I’m telling you she is freaking terrifying and I know has magic powers, just look into those eyes!

      I thought there might be some picketing due to the fact that I did not award an apple head a certifiKitsch! The simple truth is that as co-writer of The Color Purple (musical), I can’t award anything with nappy hair, big lips, googly eyes and a broom in her hand an honor of any kind. As curator of such a distinguished repository as The Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch @ awmok.com, I understand that apple people hold reserved seats in the theater of Kitsch. But I can’t do anything to proliferate racial stereotypes. I did consider that after 30 years the apple shrank to its present skin tone and maybe wasn’t originally portrayed in the school of Mammie. But the features give it away. There you have it!

          Yea, it’s a tough call as I never mean to diminish the importance of apple heads in lexicon of Kitsch. THAT’S FOR SURE. In the meantime, you and Adam have STUNNING collections and I’m eternally grateful to you both for posting so many of your treasures.
