Roy Blakey was an amazingly gifted photographer and, like many gay men, an avid collector. In his case, he chose ice skating, having been a pro earlier in his life.

I'm not a fan of the original Showgirls movie. I saw it in the theaters and I thought it was stupid. I do see why it is beloved, however, and I also think it is a rare example of actual camp — so rare post-1990 to find a film that is self-unaware to the extreme that Showgirls is. Almost everything else that's called camp is really just intentionally camp-y; that's different.
