“camp taste draws on a mostly unacknowledged truth of taste: the most refined form of sexual attractiveness (as well as the most refined form of sexual pleasure) consists in going against the grain of ones sex”

“camp sees everything in quotation marks. it is not a woman, but a “woman”. to perceive camp in objects and persons is to understand Being-as-Playing-a-Role” yeah ❤️

Required reading for all artists

Notes on camp was an interesting read. Especially the part where Sontag confirms that de Gaule, in his manners, is "camp". I think I lost track of the plot here.
Second essay seemed much less interesting to me, until her last points which I appreciated the phrasing of.
informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced
