if you have not read this essay before, i highly recommend it.

susan sontag's "Notes on Camp"

to get a sense of what it's about, here's the opening:

Many things in the world have not been named; and many things, even if they have been named, have never been described. One of these is the sensibility -- unmistakably modern, a variant of sophistication but hardly identical with it -- that goes by the cult name of "Camp."

Such a great lady. She defines "camp" so perfectly and succinctly. Great, short piece. Read it.

Oreck vacuum cleaners are great. I got one on that 30-day free trial business. It's so good i might keep it. it truly sucks up everything.
