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."

I don’t do fashion, I am fashion
"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."
"Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity."
"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different."
"I don’t do fashion, I am fashion."
"You live but once; you might as well be amusing."
"A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant."
"Only those with no memory insist on their originality."
"Fashion changes, but style endures."
"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve."
"I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all."
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel (19th August 1883 – 10th January 1971)
