It's World Space Week, dear reader!
Pierre Cardin would approve.
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."
What? No Lucy & Ethel in Martian garb atop the Empire State Building?

I was never a huge Lucy aficionado [her show was cancelled here when I was still a child], so don't know the episode... Jx
DeleteHow surprising! We keep being told that I Love Lucy is in syndication everywhere, and playing someplace every hour of every day. Her 3 subsequent series are of diminishing quality, but I Love Lucy is gem. Wish I could see them all today “for the first time.” Cheers! xoN
DeleteIt probably is shown somewhere in the world all the time, but certainly not here, while Bill Cotton was in charge at the BBC, in the 1970s, when I was growing up. We had many American series, including loads of Quinn Martin Productions cop shows and such, but light entertainment, variety and "star vehicle" shows were very much a home-grown affair... Jx
DeleteIt was on itv in Britain, my mum used to go next door to watch it as they only had the one, bbc-receiving aerial.
DeleteThat was I Love Lucy, which was shown when ITV first launched in 1955, and it was off the air by the time I was growing up. It was, I believe, a later show Here's Lucy that arrived on BBC2 and was unceremoniously cancelled soon after. Jx
DeleteThanks for clearing that up, was that the one Joan Crawford guested on!
Deleteglad we don't have to dress like that! so much mylar and gold lame!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, the chafing! Jx
DeleteWhich reminds me: It may be time for another Tin Foil Hat Competition soon...
ReplyDeleteOh, and Queen Arachnia, The Twin Mistresses of Evil, and Satan's Robot all send their regards.
Nothing from Shahna (aka Angelique Pettyjohn, space vixen-turned porn star)? Jx
