Campy T.V. Women!

[Blueboy369]

Hello Boys,
Television has given us many memorable campy women through the years. Who are some of your favorites? This brassy broad was on a T.V. show called "Alice". Her name was Flo and her famous line was "Kiss My Grits!".

Karen Walker must win the all-time campy woman poll.

Do they get any campier than Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) from Ab Fab?

 

[LarsVenice]

Patsy is high on my list, but I rank Joan Collins from Dynasty a notch higher. Someone once asked Aaron Spelling if he intended Dynasty to be camp, and he responded, "How else could you take it?"

We are getting Alice reruns now, and I do like Flo! Also on my list is Louise Lasser on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. We just got the DVD, and I'm hoping there will be more episodes released.

Fran Drescher in The Nanny - loved her outfits.

Jayne Mansfield gets my vote for campiest movie star.

Don't forget her side-kick Edina played by Jennifer Saunders or Bubble.

Carol Brady?

^^Carol Brady is the opposite of camp. Now, "The Brady Bunch": that's camp.

^^^^good ones! (except Carol...I agree, the show was Camp...not her so much though.)

Another... Mrs. Roper (Audra Lindley) from Three's Company. She was one of the best parts of that show (aside from Larry and his tight pants...) I always watched it...but never really liked it. She was a hoot though...loved it when she was all horny..."Oh Staaanleeey"

In general, the more a female character could be mistaken for a drag queen, the campier she is. That's the joke on Ab Fab when Patsy and Eddie went to New York, and a drag queen comes up to Pasty and "compliments" her by saying she could "almost" pass for a woman.

Jackie Fish (aka Jackie StarFish), former check-out person at Star Pharmacy on Castro Street in SF. Not a TV star, but a very popular local personality. She loved gossiping with the gay guys as we were checking out at the drug store - so much so that lines often got very long. When I bought five rolls of film, she wanted to know if I was going on vacation, and the conversation didn't end there. She liked to wear lots of pastel plastic jewelry and lipstick to match. She once told me also that she had a thing for motorcycle guys (straight ones, of course) when she lived in Chicago. However, she got fired for talking too much, and then became the coat check person at Alfies Disco on Market St, where I went almost every night. I got to talk with her there, but it wasn't the same.
