barry p. notes:



VAMP:

This word came up recently (probably among Uma Thurman PULP FICTION

fans), and I have lots of stuff on the V.A.M.P.s, or volunteer firefighters.

True "vamp" seekers should check out the San Francisco Chronicle, 19 January

1919, Magazine, pg. 3:



one reason why the word "vamp" came up a lot in the wake of _pulp

fiction_ is that the chanel nail polish that thurman wore in it is

called "vamp" and after the movie came out there was a big craze for

vamp, with lots of fashion magazines (well, at least a couple that i

read in the dr's ofc or someplace) doing pieces on the nail polish

and celebrities who were now wearing it.



also, the word is used a fair amount with reference to madonna.



lynne, vamp wannabe
