twee

"Everything about Tobias and Almut is so easy and sanitised, so positively twee and precious, that they are borderline unbearable to watch."

July’s work has frequently been described as whimsical or twee, but those adjectives can’t convey the molten core of this book, which is at once hilarious and dead serious.

For one thing, the vaudevillian madness onstage — which juxtaposes twee songs with violent video, highbrow with Hollywood, the mundane with the alien — does not build on its political subject matter.

Like the twee strip mall showrooms she and Asher run, they do not fit in.

I lit candles and made twee little place cards wrapped with twine, a sage leaf and baby’s breath.
