We are joined by superior collector Raquel Caballero, who through years of treasure hunting built a cave of wonders in her modern rental home. We meet anklet-wearing iguanas, clowns and dolls to ask: Is it kitsch? Is it camp? Is it crap? What’s the difference? We think meaning can be found in an aesthetic sensibility and living life decadently. Guest stars: Mrs Doubtfire’s wig, Andy Warhol, Baba Yaga.
