Waylaid on the Road to Riches

It's Kitsch, Babyl!!

Who among us is not familiar with Hummels, those charming, pudgy, childlike figurines precious to little old ladies the world over? And who could doubt their timeless appeal: so perky, so plump, so German?

File 'Hummels' under the heading of 'fine collectibles.' Not as classy as Lladro, perhaps, but not as sickening as Precious Moments Porcelains either. (Caution: activate this link at your discretion. It is not for the faint ofstomach!)
