“Notes on 'Camp' talks a lot about homosexuality and androgyny and perf...” — Violet Chachki Quote

Notes on 'Camp' talks a lot about homosexuality and androgyny and performance and a false seriousness, nit-picking the trivial things and making them funny. And that's exactly what drag does. Reading through the entire essay I couldn't help but relate all of it back to drag.

I just take inspiration from anything that visually stimulates me.

I use glamour as a tool, almost like armor to confidently take up space, to provoke questions and conversations about society and gender norms.

It's easier when you're just upfront with somebody. You can just learn and grow from it.

To be honest, I'm kind of a Grinch.

Tiger is a funny guy. I want to beat him as badly as anybody else but I respect him. He has been very cordial, very nice to me - a gentleman.

All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.

I have a memory like an elephant. I remember every elephant I've ever met.

If you tell the truth about how you're feeling, it becomes funny.

If my mum or my wife says that something isn't funny, I know I've struck gold.
