[PS It is more than thirty years since Edith Massey died.]
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."
She was definitely a one off.

Watch the film.
Then come back and tell us if you -
feel "a tingle of arousal"
I love her to bits but not in that way.
Upon reading a synopsis of the film, even tongue-in-cheek (or perhaps especially tongue-in-cheek) my original comment becomes somewhat disquieting.
