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 shall mostly be dressing casual...
...like dancer, choreographer, actress and painter Miss Tilly Losch!
This magnificent creature - who created these looks for herself back in the 1930s (we know where you stole the ideas, Stefani Germanotta!) - worked with such diverse talents as Noel Coward, Richard Strauss, the Astaires, Lotte Lenya and Anita Loos and married Lord Caernarvon.
Ottilie Ethel Leopoldine "Tilly" Losch, Countess of Carnarvon (15th November 1903 - 24th December 1975)
