Henry (Adrian) Arango, 93-year old drag queen, pictured in 2021.
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."
Proving that age is just a number.

It's a busy old year. We're also going to see Bernadette Peters' one-woman show tomorrow night! Totting up, that's fourteen shows/concerts we've been to see, or have booked to see in 2024... (And there's still plenty of time to look out for more!) Jx
DeleteArango could give Carmen Miranda a run for her money.:)
ReplyDeleteJon, you spoiled brat of the great British theater, I’m so damned jealous!
14 shows this year ? I on occasion see only 1 every couple of years.

He probably knew her!
DeleteThe joys of living in London means we have a huge wealth of entertainment to choose from, on our doorstep, and not everything costs a fortune... I couldn't live anywhere else! Jx
An inspiration to us all !
