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."

Born in front of a camera
One hundred and ten years ago, Miss Joan Crawford was born.
Bow before her.
"I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door."
"I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty... in every form."
"I think that the most important thing a woman can have - next to talent, of course - is her hairdresser."
"I was born in front of a camera and really don't know anything else."
"I am just too much."
Joan Crawford (born Lucille Fay LeSueur, 23rd March 1904 – 10th May 1977)

Oh My God. She Was A Star.
ReplyDeleteI had a day off school when she died ( my mother sent a note saying that we have had a family bereavement ) and I wore a black arm band.
Lucille Fay LeSueur did good, don't believe all the mud slinging,
You were born camp dear! Jx
ReplyDeleteI adore her - mostly because she was, indeed, just too much!
