We try our best.
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."

"If there was one thing I had never been, it was mysterious, and if there was one thing I had never done, it was not talk."
Shamefully overlooked by what laughingly passes for "the media" these days, 100 years ago today a true legend [although she hated the term] was born - Miss Lauren Bacall.
All hail!
"If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?"
"Growing up takes longer than you think."
"Looking at yourself in a mirror isn't exactly a study of life."
Such a gloriously beautiful and charismatic woman - her image is destined to live forever.
And she appeared to be a fun person, too!
Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske, 16th September 1924 – 12th August 2014)
