...like today's birthday girl, Our Patron Saint of Innuendo Miss Mae West!
Not bad for a 125-year-old.
"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."
Mary Jane "Mae" West (17th August 1893 – 22nd November 1980)
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."

ReplyDeleteWords to live by, my dear. And we do. Jx
DeleteMy fave Mae West quotes:
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!
Ah, yes, the eternally quotable Miss West... Jx
DeleteMe, too! But I must have a sit down after the strenuousness of choosing an outfit.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo's rather unfortunate. Poor Mae looks like she's been caught de-worming her cat.
She became a living waxwork towards the end... Jx
