It's the Autumn Equinox this weekend - it's all downhill from there...
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."

But who will inherit the headdress?
¡Qué triste!
One of our favourite, and most flamboyant, of Spanish divas María Jiménez has departed for Fabulon, fag and peacock feathers in hand...
Here's our favourite moment of hers here at Dolores Delargo Towers - when one finds onself in a graffiti-ridden bus shelter with a drink in one's hand, one should always wear one's finest headdress...
RIP, María Jiménez Gallego (3rd February 1950 – 7th September 2023)
