RIP, the utterly stunning Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada, 5th September 1940 - 15th February 2023)
Such a sad loss.
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."
The death march of giants continues....and it's only mid February.

She certainly was that, Ms Scarlet! Jx
DeleteAnd let's not forget her line of wigs!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the wigs. I have "The Art of Chic" on a stand. How about you? More "The Provocateur", I'd imagine... Jx
Delete"Le Provacateur?" Bien sûr.
DeleteEt vous - le freak, c'est chic.
C'est magnifque! Jx
Deletesad news. I was never a massive fan but always liked her.
ReplyDeleteShe was the sort of girl who (in a similar vein to Cher, Bette Midler or Liza) was unafraid of self-parody or camping it up - her "Aunt Vesta" in Sabrina the Teenage Witch was a hoot! Jx
