We still miss you.
[More Madeline here]
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."

girl could sing. and act.
A beautiful funny woman. Wonderful mimic. Does anyone know what Marlene Dietrich thought of her?
How the hell is she sitting there? Where are those legs growing out of?
She was fabulous! Jx
Questions, questions. Jx
Some divas take being spoofed better than others is all. And I still can't work out how she manages to sit like that
Adorable and adored and greatly missed
We loved her. Jx
