...like today's birthday girl, Italian silent screen vamp Pina Menichelli!
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."

my maternal grandmother wore similar clothes like that in the 1920s. life 100 years ago was not as easy as today. have a good weekend!
Life 100 yers ago may have been made immesurably better by a feather headdress and a fur-trimmed silk coat! Jx
Love it.
Merci! Jx
La Diva Menichelli, i suoi film sono cosi scandalosi. Invece di morire alla fine del film, i suoi personaggi hanno vissuto e prosperato per sedurre piu uomini. Vita da 'vamp'. -Nera Vedova
The term "Diva" could have been invented for her. Jx
