Thanksgiving and the HOLIDAYS are Upon Us

First, I would like to wish you all a happy thanksgiving with all the trimmings.  Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie-- what else?

Do you think that Charlie Brown and Snoopy are campy?  If I had an audience I would hold a pole. My answer would be a resounding yes.

Till the next holiday...

Recent Movies Considered "Campy" by ME

"Yes Man"

A movie that I consider to be campy in the most mainstream way.  It has something for everyone, but it's just so darn happy and that Zooey Deshanel is a firecracker.  I love her acting.  She adds the character that viewers need to wonder what the heck is going to happen next. Her character in this movie has inspired me to write as I imagine what she might do in a certain situation.

"Whatever Works"

Sorry, but one of the first Woody Allen movies that I actually liked. To add to the effect, I saw this movie in an old and supposedly haunted cinema.  Both main characters made me loling almost constantly.  Definetly not your usual comedy though-- for the campy taste. 

This film was so funny in such a dark way.  You just have to see it.  The synopsis intrigued me to begin with and when I saw it I was not disappointed in anyway.  There are some truly moving and serious parts, but it was mostly funny in quite a campy fashion.

 

The Awesome Vintage Camper (refurb)

 

 From Country Living Magazine

Cowgirl caravan: forget about roughing it. This fun-loving group of "Sisters on the Fly" travels in comfort on their girls-only fishing trips, riding high in vintage trailers restored and decorated with Western flair.

I was camp cook at Arizona Cowboy College," says Maurrie Sussrnan. "That's how it started." She needed a base of operations, so she restored and decorated "Lucy," a vintage trailer, with an appropriate Wild West theme. "Then my sister, Becky, wanted one," says Maurrie, who restored and decorated the trailer Becky shipped to her and dubbed it "Ethel Mae." Maurrie's friends got into the act and they soon had to number the trailers to keep them straight: Sisters Three ("Miss Maddie"), Sisters Four ("Mazie"), and Sisters Five ("Rhinestone Cowgirl"). "By this summer's trip, we'll be up to Sisters Seven," says Maurrie. This July, a dozen ladies--who call themselves "Sisters on the Fly"--will take a two-week road trip to Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, where they'll fly-fish, cook out, and bed down in their cozy campers. The trailers are outfitted with 1950s and '60s kitchenware, cowgirl-themed linens, and small luxuries like feather beds and down comforters. "We have more fun than anyone," says Maurrie.

 I just love this idea it's campy in every way.  My dream is to refurbish a camper like this.
