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."

Who is Sylvia? what is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Sylvia let us sing,
That Sylvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling;
To her let us garlands bring.
RIP, the captivatingly beautiful Sylvia Syms OBE (6th January 1934 – 27th January 2023).
Another glittering star in the firmament has blinked its last.

"Glamour is when a man knows a woman is a woman." “Sophia Loren plays peasants. I play ladies.” "I am very spoiled. All my life, I've had too many admirers." "We are all born to die - the difference is the intensity with which we choose to live." “I want to leave a souvenir of my life.”
RIP, the utterly stunning Signorina Gina Lollobrigida (4th July 1927 – 16th January 2023)
