GAUDY: Showy in a tasteless or vulgar way
flashy, garish, gimcrack, tawdry, trashy, brassy, cheap, loud, meretricious, tacky, tatty
tasteless – lacking aesthetic or social taste
Does gaudy ever recognise itself?
Is beauty only in the eye of the beholder or is it in the eye of the beholden?
Who am I to judge?
Live and let live I say!
Have a good one,
~SBI

Thanks so much for the PB!
I think you definitely fulfilled the theme with these shots!!!!
Love it! 😀
Thanks Cathy! 🙂
A nice bit of excess or tackiness? You’re far less judgemental than I am.
Hey Gunta, I’m probably not less judgemental than you, I just pretend to be…haha. I figured out quite quickly that although I see tacky things all the time, I don’t take pictures of them. The Christmas display is my neighbor’s, you should see his yard on other holidays…
That first pic is quite something! Thanks for the ping back.
Thanks ideflex!
Wow! That’s something! Where’s that eye located? 🙂 Thanks for the pingback!
Hey Beyond: Thanks…the eye is located in a display window somewhere in downtown Portland, Oregon. 🙂
Yet another reason for me to make the trip to Portland. Thanks!
