...The Idas of March!
[L-r: Ida Barr, Ida Lupino, Ida Clough]
"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"
Ides of March on Wikipedia
[I've done this joke before, of course, but in the spirit of recycling and all that...]
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."
That vid is too marvelous. That's how I felt the day I left the theatre!
ReplyDeleteLupino is the only one I knew. She is an amazing women. One of the first female directors. And a beauty. I have to google the other two. Kizzes.
That line is one of the most famous and most-quoted of any of the Carry On films - Kenneth Williams was a "national treasure"...

PS Save Googling; the names of the "Idas" are all hyperlinks...
Well, I'm glad you're embracing recycling because I missed this the first time around!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm just going to watch those Ida Barr videos again from your August 2018 post...
Check out the May 2013 post, and you'll see me doing the Hokey-Cokey with Ida Barr leading the party! Jx
DeleteThanks for the hyperlinks!
ReplyDeleteIda Lupino was flawless.

You're welcome! Yes indeed, Miss Lupino was radiant... Jx
DeleteThree very different Idas but each one is fab
ReplyDeleteNever saw them on the same stage together. More's the pity. Jx
