La Petite Suzy age 8 possibly between 1900’s - 1920’s as Le Mayol Miniature. Little Suzy performed in music halls impersonating famed French music hall performer Felix Mayol. Special thanks to @gkoskovich for sharing this gem with us 🙏🏼💗
And check out Gerards original post to see who Mayol was, quite the character @gkoskovich

Here is NYC Drag King History in these 10 photogra

From Eric Marcus's interview of Stella Rush in 198

From Eric Marcus's interview of Stella Rush in 1989: "I had on Levi’s and leather jackets, and you didn’t do that in 1948 unless there was something really strange.... I felt more comfortable that way. I’ve always hated women’s clothes."

These are excerpts from Making Gay History and The Lesbian Herstory Archives: Stella Rush was ahead of her time. She defied the binaries that defined the lives of women in the mid-20th century (gay/straight, butch/femme) and she defied society’s expectations—marriage, kids. Stella wrote for ONE magazine, the first national gay magazine. She took a huge risk by writing for ONE magazine while working as a civil servant at the peak of the Lavender Scare. Sten Russell was Stella’s nom de plume. Sten was the byline for dozens of ONE magazine articles beginning in 1954 and s/he even graced the magazine’s June 1960 cover. In 1957 Stella began writing for The Ladder, the Daughters of Bilitis magazine, as well. It was through these meetings and connections where she met her partner of 30 years, Helen Sandoz, who joined the Daughters of Bilitis in 1956. Helen and Stella worked for The Ladder and the Daughters of Bilitis for fifteen years, designing covers and reporting on conventions. Helen died of lung cancer on June 7, 1987 in Anaheim, CA. Stella Rush was born in Los Angeles, CA on April 30, 1925 and died in Anaheim, CA on July 25, 2015.

The photo is a tintype, circa 1865. This is known

The photo is a tintype, circa 1865. This is known from the simple chair and backdrop, a motif that repeats itself endlessly in tintypes and cdvs of the period. No identifying information for this woman other than she lived in the US. This photo is from the collection Peter Miller of Westbury, NY who has been an avid collector of male & female crossdressing (and same sex affection) photographs since the 1960s. Many thanks to him for sharing this with us. We can only surmise her story....
