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."
Iconic stuff. Nothing more glam... A pair of platform shoes and a pair of glitter rocket pants in his future. Kizzes.

ReplyDeleteHe took most of the famous photos of Bowie, and the two men became great friends. He really did capture the zeitgeist of a whole era of creativity. Jx
