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."

The Screamer
It's The Bride of Frankenstein's birthday...
"The most memorable thing I did in that film, I believe, was my screaming. In almost all my movies since, I've been called upon to scream. I don't know if it's by chance, but I would like to think that I'm not hired for that talent alone."
Our Patron Saint Elsa Sullivan Lanchester (28th October 1902 – 26th December 1986)

That last gif is my reaction when I reach into a bag of Fox's Glacier Mints and discover there are none left!
ReplyDeleteMay Saint Elsa scream forever (when she's not utilising her other talents, of course).
I look rather like that every morning when the alarm goes off. Jx
DeleteVery nice.... and a holiday tradition here at the Casa. When I saw the post title, I thought to myself is that Jon's nickname during love making?
ReplyDelete"Love making". How very Jane Austen of you...

PS It's rude to scream with your mouth full.
