Les Vamps
Distinctive features: they love to wear floral jersey dresses and wear scarves straight out of ancient times. Philosophical principles: to gossip in a great and beautiful burst of thwarted and buffoonish bigotry. This Vamps show was recorded in 1989, at the Palais des Glaces. Dominique de Lacoste and Nicole Avezard play two raging vixens, unable to agree on any subject, but terribly in tune when it comes to sending out jibes and other slanderous remarks about their neighbors.
