THERE’S CAMP, HIGH CAMP, and then there is sister camp, arguably the campiest-camp of all, certainly in the world of movies, where the reigning sister-camp pic is, of course, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.” Happily it is not alone in the genre. Oh yes, there are others, my new favorite of which is “The Queen’s Sister.” Up for some sister camp, sisters? Here’s your film.

'Thelma and Louise' is on my must-rewatch list this spring
FOODIE SISTER PAIGE HAS BEEN TRAVELING, a lot, lately, and can’t wait to settle back into what passes for a normal routine back on the home front. But her husband’s going to be out of town for work on and off for a while. Can you guess what that means? It’s all about control. Remote control. The clicker. Read on.
IT’S NO SECRET THAT WE TSP SISTERS love movies. Over the last few months, we’ve again updated (with loads of your suggestions) a feature we’d like to think of as the definitive list of sisterly cinema. Keep your suggestions coming; let us know what we should be adding to our queues for winter viewing, and beyond. Our list of sister flicks, Version 3, is here.
Keira Knightley and Hayley Atwell in 'The Duchess'
ISN’T IT GREAT when your husband (or any other guy in your life) chooses a smart chick flick for movie night? Sister Paige’s movie-loving husband surprised her recently with The Duchess, a look at the confinement and powerlessness that characterized the lives of even aristocratic women of the 18th century. (Paige, by the way, is author of TSP’s 99 Sister Flicks We Love must-see list.) Here’s what Paige thought of The Duchess.
I T’S NO SECRET THAT WE TSP SISTERS love movies, and with your help we’ve kept adding to the list of sisterly films we love, with Version 2 just published. How many do we have, we wondered when it was done, and started counting, and can you believe it? One short of the century mark! So please, sisters, go scan the list and add ones we’ve missed to the comments. The list is right here for your enjoyment.
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
