Our latest "exhibit" here at the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp - and our latest obsession...
...Smoggie Queens!
You may need the subtitles.
All this and Michelle Visage as you've never seen her before!
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."
What's not to like really? Fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bizarrely addictive show - fabulous, indeed! Jx
DeleteLooks absolutely hilarious! My kind of sit-com!
ReplyDeleteHope you can catch it on BBC iPlayer! It's worth it... Jx
DeleteOh, yes.... please. It's a riot. Feels like Derry Girls but a lot more glitter. I need some Brit sitcom... it gets lonely here in the states. All sitcoms are now about fat men with beautiful wives who sit around passing gas. Or a group of young friends sharing an apartment and a single brain cell. Smoggie Queens? Must see television!
ReplyDeleteIt makes such a change to have a gay "family" at the heart of the whole thing - and the warped and unlikely gathering of characters is so real... Both Madam Arcati and I remember being in households exactly like this - rough as old dogs, but "family" nonetheless! Jx
DeleteHad a wild dream of a pack of fed up drag queens kidnapping Trump and tying him up with their silk stockings and shoving panties down his throat to shut him up. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you have been imbibing, Mr/Mrs/Ms Anonymous, but I somehow doubt that Middlesbrough's finest "Smoggie Queens" could give a shit about the US president. Jx
DeleteFantabulosa
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Jx
DeleteI loved this so much. It's Camp, Outrageous and very Funny but apart from that it resonated with me. Made me think of and remember the mad crazy fab gay world that I came out in and I wasn't sure why until the last episode.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about outsiders constructing their own world with their own rules.
Above all It's about 'chosen family'
It was probably the most down-to-earth, non-judgemental, non-tragic, insight into how real gay people are, and how we create our own "families" that I have ever seen on telly. I really hope we get to see how all the plots resolve themselves in another series soon! Jx
