"The evil forces which it has raised against God, against morality, the forces of artifice and the Evil Demon of dissimulation and absence, of challenge and reversion, which it has always embodied and for which it has been damned: seduction can today reinvent these..."

When we look back on heavy and glam rock from the 80s, it's really easy to say "that is very camp". When I (am forced to) look at photos of Trump, I am 100% certain we will also look back and say "that is very camp". Between the make up, the pout, the artifice and understanding of image. Camp.

Foundation is very good. I’m looking forward to the new season.
It’s refreshing that the people are all sexual beings but also look like regular people, people you might know.
I’ve grown so tired of the artifice in the appearance of most actors, especially in the United States.
