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."

This weekend I'm mainly dressing casual...
...like Miss Claudette Colbert (looking good for 110)!
"I've always believed that acting is instinct to start with; you either have it or you don't."
"Hollywood was not my dream, you know. I only left Broadway when the crash came. The Depression killed the theatre, and the pictures were manna from heaven."
"Most of us don't know about happiness until it's over."
"Laughter - it's the key to everything. To a day of gloom or despair, to happy work, to life."
Claudette Colbert (13th September 1903 – 30th July 1996)

I do so love the way people once dressed! For a short bit before I retired I had a women's boutique. Fashion has always been in my blood. I also at that time wrote for some free rags. I generally bemoaned the fact that Americans dressed like slobs. I am going to be 67 and haven't owned jeans since I was 23.
