Shameless Saturday Camp Explosion: The Mysterious East



Camp is the triumph of the epicene style.
- Susan Sontag, "Notes on Camp"

I can't help feeling that this is pretty much exactly what would happen if the gifted auteurs over at Bel Ami went to Japan.  And dropped acid.

    Epicene Style? I saw her in '88 at the Eagle in San Francisco. I think she did "Wang Dang Doodle."

    I'm thrilled with this video, especially the ring leader with his/her homage to George Michael's hair through the years. And where do those mysterious ping pong balls at the 2:20 mark come from?

      I'm going to hazard a guess that they're not the kind Gloria Upson had in mind...

    Fan Tan Fanny was leaving her man,
    Fan Tan Fanny kept waving her fan,
    Said "Goodbye, Danny, you two-timing Dan,
    Some other man loves your little Fanny, Bye Bye!

      As good a guess as any I can think of as to what this lyic may be...

    I'm quite certain that's the first time any of them have touched a volleyball.

    Did the director even bother to explain the game?

      It's not the first time any of them has touched a ball (or two). Jx

    This is why Hollywood had a production code.
