"I have no use for cheap sentimentality"

It keeps ringing in my head. I think is was snarled by Margo Channing; only Ed will know for sure.

At 11:47 AM, Ray said...: Dear Alexis, the quote is "I detest cheap sentiment" and was indeed uttered by Margo Channing in All About Eve. And in Boys In The Band Michael does a Bette Davis impression and says "I adore cheap sentiment". If you have questions about camp ... come to me first ...
At 12:11 PM, Alexis du Bois said...: Ah, dear, darling Ray; how right you are. And, I was in no way inferring that you were not the King of Camp; it was just that I know "All About Eve" is one of Ed Grow's favorites. Anyone who has taken the effort to visit Tsarkoye Selo, is a leader in Camp.
At 12:18 PM, Alexis du Bois said...: by the way, Ray, as Ed would say, "you get a double snap and full twist" for that.
At 11:50 AM, Ed Grow said...: "Play Liebestraum again."

Oh Mrs. Astor, you old kazzo with some sparklers. I wuvers you.
