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 Dame loves a party
with Liberace and Hermione Gingold
with Tom Jones
with Wayne Sleep and Liza Minnelli
with Cilla Black and Christopher Biggins
with Liz Taylor, Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole
"I aim not to drink too much, party too much or buy too much bling. I have a black belt in spending so I’m going to swap it for a brown one."
"The problem is I'm always shouting. That's the way I keep my voice."
"I'd like to think I represent glamour on stage. To me, that's what this business is all about."
"I do think there's a frustrated stripper in me trying to get out."
Many happy returns, Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey, DBE (born 8th January 1937)

That first picture had me playing a favorite game of mine: Whose Wig Is Wiggier?
ReplyDeleteLiberace wins by, naturally, a hair!
However Miss Gingold's appears to be trying desperately to launch itself off her head in search of food... Jx
DeleteFor a moment, I was having trouble deciding which one was Liberace and which was Hermione in that first snapshot. Same plastic surgeon, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIf that's cosmetic surgery, Hermione should've sued... Jx
