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."

"Reality is a dirty word for me"
Over at Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle, it's all about the Last Night of the Proms.
Ken Russell's take on the classics, however, is a little more extreme...
"Reality is a dirty word for me, I know it isn't for most people, but I am not interested. There's too much of it about."
