Marc Almond in Brompton Cemetery, photo by Derek Ridgers
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."
OMG - that photo made my day!
ReplyDeleteI love it too - a huge framed version of this photo used to hang in one of our regular gay haunts the Retro Bar, but it seems to have disappeared. I have been trying to find it on the web ever since... Jx
ReplyDeleteI wonder if someone who shares our taste in photgraphs made it dissapear...
ReplyDeleteIt is no doubt gracing some unworthy queen's wall as we speak... Jx
