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."
Why do I always get sidetracked by the fonts used on these vintage books!! Love the last one!

With the array of "bizarre loevemaking", Tits!", sex facts and Uranus on show - you're intrigued by fonts? Different strokes for different folks, I guess... Jx
DeleteErr - "loevemaking"? Must be a combination of manufacturing window blinds and erotica. Jx
DeleteEve Linkletter is one of my favorites of the era and ilk. And that particular book is quite the opus - I detailed the plot on my blog some time ago as part of my series on vintage gay pulp fiction. As for Uranus ever being lost? Well, dear... do try to keep track of what's important. Me? I run a clean city... checked for undesirables every three months! Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI have never read any, but I do find gay pulp fiction covers some of the most bizarre low-budget artwork ever... Jx
DeletePS Always best to check Uranus in case of an alien invasion.
If they can send a man to the moon, they can send a man to Uranus.
ReplyDeleteAlways room for another intrepid explorer... Jx
