I wish Sontag weren't dead, so she could explain the difference b/w kitsch/camp to me.

Not campy. Pretty much every commercial in the late 80s sounded like that.

Wish I could find the '80s commercial for Diet Slice featuring a bunch of department store models trying to look glamorous while being shot from behind with water cannons. Now THAT was campy!

I think it's that it reminds me of MJ's "Will You Be There" and I mean p much all mid-90s MJ is like suuuuper campy

gay thread c/p:

She completely embodies that sort of unbridled desperation you see in 50's-era Joan Crawford or Elizabeth Berkeley in "Showgirls". She seems enormously coked out at all times. This shit is so fucking good.

i don't agree with greenberg btw. barbara streisdand youtubes are fine by me. i love the movie hello, dolly. i like to think the tyler, the creator song "yonkers" is an homage to that film.
