In “A Partial Guide to Camp: On The Eyes Of The Beholder,” I continue my exploration of the Camp pleasures of New Orleans. The essay investigates the spectacle and participation of strip clubs, Wayne Koestenbaum, underwear as a cipher, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, Southern Decadence, Calvin Klein vs Andrew Christian, “aesthetic erections,” Eddy Monsoon & Patsy Stone, and, of course, a sincere nod to Susan Sontag. Paired with a series of black and white portraits by Colin Roberson.
