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."

The love of the exaggerated
"Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style - but a particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated, the "off," of things-being-what-they-are-not." - Susan Sontag
Dahlings! One of our favourite bloggers of all time, the enigmatic TJB - now revealed as Mr Todd Brandt - is the subject of a most marvellously camp interview at the utterly outré Mermania site - read it here.
Anyone who, when asked to give a favourite between "Liz or Debbie?", provides the answer "Connie Stevens" has my vote...
Vist TJB/Todd over at the sublime Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist.
Tell him Jon sent you!
Connie Stevens (born 8th August 1938)
