CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ethel merman and betty white share a birthday.
ReplyDeleteActually, The Merm's is the previous day - Betty does share hers, however, with Eartha, Dalida, Moira Shearer, Shari Lewis and Michelle Obama! It is "Diva Season", it seems. Jx
DeleteEartha Kitt is Rockin' that Big Hair!
ReplyDeleteShe rocked, full stop... Jx
DeleteAnd she stood up to a certain person who died this week, probably one of few people who did, and on tv, too. There aren't many genuinely brave people in show biz. She was one. Tina Turner and Ronnie Spector were others.
ReplyDeletePhil Spector was a complete cunt to everybody, especially women. Eartha Kitt was more than a match for him... Jx
DeleteHave you heard Ronnie's song Girl From the Ghetto
ReplyDeleteNope. Jx
DeleteWell they are all closer to god now, big hair or not !
ReplyDeleteFab photos
Some of them are already there... Jx
