Somehow Roberts has convinced Eva Herzigovina to dress up in a Gorilla costume and act out the racist "Hot Voodoo" scene to an audience of black models, which passed in 1932 but in 2017 seems tacky and tone deaf in the extreme.
He is, after all, a dude who in 1970, ruined Ray Fosse's career by steamrolling him in an All-Star game, and subsequently used the cheap shot to burnish the self-aggrandized "one true hard-nose" version of himself to sell tacky crap.

The girls, repped by attorney Andrew Stoltmann, and several siblings also would like to turn Paisley Park into a museum -- a la Graceland -- again, there will almost certainly be a price of admission ... with the goal also being not to make anything seem tacky or exploitative.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads Some might find the translation of Vincent van Gogh's "Self-Portrait With Bandaged Ear" into a smiling cartoon head spurting blood a little sacrilege, or just tacky, but it was only a matter of time before the emoji-fication of art history took it there.
"The movie's satirical take on competitive figure skating, from its music for gliding pas des deux (Andrea Bocelli) to the goofy absurdity of children's ice shows in which Chazz, exiled from competition, is forced to work, to its tacky space-age costumes, is affectionately knowing," Stephen Holden wrote in The Times.

Since I Left You took a hodgepodge of older sounds—spanning from Madonna to lounge's tacky, velvet confines—to fashion something unfamiliar; Wildflower takes older sounds to make an album that sounds like watching American Graffiti on a 4K TV.

Rei Kawakubo's Boschean excess at Comme des Garçons — clashing Renaissance paintings and Japanese cartoons as prints and reconstituted pileups of tacky plastic children's toys as headpieces — was a stark contrast to Miuccia Prada's comic-book-print warrior women and the tatty gewgaws and currency-​war patterns of Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga collection.

That the same Pavlovian tool kit of something so harmlessly tacky as "The Apprentice" would 15 years later be the lifeblood of its host's dark, racist movement — as well as the organizing principle of those hoping to dethrone him — is a chilling distillation of the recursive trap America seems to be in.

Ice Cube has been a cornball for a minute now—hell, he's turned it into a brand—and so you can't really knock him for tacky moments like "Real People" from his new Barbershop movie, a well-intentioned but forgettable duet for which he trotted out co-star Common, and flanked with film clips and animated barber poll overlays.

We were invited to my nephew's wedding in Miami, and we calculate that it will cost us $3,000 to attend (with air fare, hotels, etc.) Would it be tacky to offer my nephew the choice of a $3,000 check (in which case we would not travel to the wedding) or our attendance (with a token gift)?
His movement, the International Peace Mission, is absent from most histories of the civil rights movement because of "its tacky theology, its unappealing blend of communistic lifestyle and respectability politics, its disavowal of racial identity, and most of all, its iconoclastic leader: a squat, bald, dark-skinned man whose followers called him God and their Redeemer," Morris writes.
In the New York of yore, amazing performers like the B-52s, RuPaul, and Lady Bunny came out of the American South with lots to say about fun and about the splendor to be found in being tacky, and more than a little political dialogue about what it meant to be different in a conservative Christian milieu.

The hundreds of times that the host, Maury Povich, sombrely pulled DNA test results from a manila envelope—often eliciting sobs from the mothers and victory dances from the men who'd been let off the hook—helped, in its own tacky way, to prepare us for the modern era of consumer genetics, with its more wholesome sheen.
If you've been an Empire fan since the beginning, then I'm sure there's one thing that brings you sheer joy — I mean in addition to the gift that is Cookie and her fierce (and borderline tacky) wardrobe, which in the latest episode includes red fringe, a turquoise feathered sleevelet, gold plated cuffs and metallic gold pants, and a turban to die for.
This is a man who spent decades as a tacky fixture and punchline of the New York social scene, a man who went on the Howard Stern Show to talk about his wife's breasts and ran the Miss Universe franchise, (where he unapologetically focused on boobs in bikinis over brains and allegedly harassed, ridiculed, and creeped on the young contestants).
As I was trying to come up with something to write about today, I realized I'd never looked into whether Lil Wayne and Trump had interacted, which is a decent question given that the only thing Donald Trump loves more than overcooked steak and tacky gold leaf is hobnobbing with celebrities (who don't like him back because he's an enormous loser).

The hotels he continues to slap his name on in exchange for a fee, the tacky country clubs where business associates and lobbyists have queued up for membership (and access), the gilded condos ripe for sale to buyers with an agenda; he isn't just content having them say TRUMP in giant letters, he wants them associated with the American presidency.
His lyrics are cheesy, or simply empty — that's harmless when the production sparkles, but they glow with a radioactive tint when it's not, like on the tacky "Wave" ("We're getting better, aging like your favorite wine/I've got on rose-colored glasses, you're batting your eyelashes") or the inexplicable "Livin' Off the Land," which suggests a never-made 1970s hicksploitation film.

People stand or sit in the dark as kids race around this family-friendly environment, ignoring the grandiose eye-candy screensaver that swathes and speckles them in color — for this slightly animated, supposedly crowd-pleasing, utterly tasteless, techno-tacky vista covers the entire 3,300-square-meter surface area (almost 11,000 feet), from the floor to the 10-meter-high black ceiling, where the visual immersion ends.
You try turning in a full hour earlier than usual, hit the lights, quickly set the alarm on your phone (eight full hours from now!) and decide to quickly check if anyone else has commented on that great photo of your puppy you posted before dinner… And two hours later you find yourself scrolling through all 650-plus photos of your high school crush's tacky wedding.
Mental-health screening, so that a madman with a military and a tacky branding empire can't get hold of them, is a sound idea, just so long as it doesn't prevent law-abiding citizens from buying a vintage SSM-N-8 Regulus at a nuclear-missile show or picking up some uranium-235 and a centrifuge on a milk-and-bread run to Walmart.
When: March 210–28 / Friday, Saturday: 25am–225pm; Sunday: 503am–250pm ($210) Where: Metropolitan Pavilion (296 West 18th Street, Chelsea, Manhattan) I'd never choose to set foot in Scope, but there's something comforting about the fact that it's there every year — this time with 69 exhibitors — showing its reliable mix of "edgy" street art, heavy-handed, selfie-baiting sculpture, tacky photorealist painting, and other syrupy wonders.
And after the flaming disaster of the Galaxy Note 7, which had to be recalled after some batteries caught fire, the risk-margin for Samsung on this potential release must be very tight indeed… No one wants a folding phone if that means screen glitches and/or a handset that feels tacky and whose dimensions hark back to the heft of late 1990s mobile devices.
The Philippines of "Insurrecto" is wild and lush, beset by cruelty, boisterous in its embrace of the tacky relics of late-20th-century globalism — a place where Elvis ballads seem to "spring from the bamboo groves"; where the news is full of bodies "piling up at the garbage dumps, in the slums, near schoolyards"; where karaoke singers, possessed by a "maniacal insomnia," wail drunkenly into the night.
The ceiling blooms with fake potted plants, scraps of fuzzy pink fabric, and a spinning Chinese lantern — purposefully tacky and tactile in the way that everything else is here (note the pebble-strewn bar by Dilan Ray Cheavacci and the gender-neutral bathrooms, their walls studded with plates bearing images of celebrities like Paris Hilton and Justin Timberlake, each paired with a matching mood ring).
And not the tacky care of a white woman; not the pressured care of a psychiatrist or the just love, love, love yourself, you're worth it kind of care, but the kind of care that turns a sad finsta post into a spontaneous visit, a phone call, a gift; turns a silent question into 1,000 late-night answers, turns the monster within into a collective hum.
