| Interests | wacky tacky is more a feeling than a specific design aesthetic. You know, the feeling you get when walking through The Madonna Inn, Clifton's Cafeteria, The Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland or even the house of a friend who gets it so wrong but makes it feels so right. wacky tacky embraces nostalgia, vintage design, healthy skepticism, hope for the future and the dream that disparate, anachronistic elements can combine to create a feeling of excitement, awareness, inspiration and comfort. If this description sounds a tad too sentimental, wacky tacky is really just the crazy crap people throw on their walls and call art; it is a friendly "up yours" to Shabby Chic and those who take themselves too seriously - those to whom we like to refer as "wacky tacky wannabes."
