Our Patron Saint of frankly dangerous head-flicks Signorina Raffaella Carrà would have been 80 years old today!
All Hail.
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."
Ow! My eye! And that was my last one, too.
ReplyDeleteI once described that video of Prisencolinensinainciusol as "something I stumbled across many moons ago that is so gob-smacking, so brilliantly camp, it made me thankful for the invention of the internet". My opinion has not changed. Jx
DeleteAdorable and adored, she is a joy.

Ha ha! I'm pretty sure Raffaella needed one the moment she left the stage. Jx
