Cotton’s “Forty Minutes.” ’ Seven numbered four-line stanzas and the following chorus: ‘Then let us drink drag-hunting boys and pass the bottle round / Drink to the horse the fox of course a bumper to the hound; / And let us toast our farmers as a right good jolly sort / When you haven’t time for hunting then the Drag is rattling sport.’ First stanza: ‘The gallant steed by nature made companion for the hound / Will give us great enjoyment as o’er the fields we bound; / There’s nothing like fox-hunting and some might say the stag / But when you can’t get either then there’s nothing like the Drag.’ The fourth stanza notes that ‘many a Staff aspirant has saluted mother earth’. There are also references to the Staff College Tangley Park and Easthampstead Park. The final stanza gives a toast to ‘our Secretary’s health’ as ‘He’s the proper sort of fellow to instruct the R. M.

1917réf. List3648New York City: Leo. Feist Inc. and others 1917. Five pieces of sheet music see full inventory below. Overall very good plus. Julian Eltinge 1881–1941 was the most commercially successful and popular female impersonator of his time. Beginning with drag performances in his adolescence he developed a convincing portrayal of female characters—shocking audiences at the end of shows by revealing that he was in costume—and had a successful career on the vaudeville circuit and on Broadway followed by appearances in several silent films and as mores around crossdressing changed in nightclubs. Offered here are five pieces of sheet music written for Eltinge three of which are from the 1910 musical comedy The Fascinating Widow. A New York Times review of the Widow remarks that “once over the initial unpleasantness of the idea of female impersonation which is not easy for people of delicate sensibilities there is nothing especially displeasing about Mr. Eltinge’s efforts at femininity” and notes Eltinge’s popularity and ability to draw crowds.1 Titles Included: “In the Land of Wedding Bells.” Howard Johnson and Geo.

1990réf. 239441990. West Hollywood Halloween and drag photo archive showing gay nightlife costume performance and gender play at the city's Halloween celebration circa 1990s when the annual event was developing into one of the country's largest public Halloween gatherings. West Hollywood occupied an exceptional position in American gay civic life by this period.Incorporated in 1984 through a coalition that included LGBT activists its first City Council became the first municipal governing body in the United States with an openly gay majority and the new city quickly enacted protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and against people with HIV and AIDS.The Halloween Carnaval formally launched in 1987 from earlier gay Halloween gatherings along Santa Monica Boulevard gave that political and social visibility a mass public expression through drag costume performance and occupation of the street. WeHo By 1995 contemporary reporting described nearly 100000 people converging on West Hollywood for Halloween and traced the celebration to gay men who had begun gathering there more than two decades earlier. Photo archive of 41 chromogenic color photographs each approximately 4 x 6 inches West Hollywood California circa 1990s. The photographs record drag queens gay men and other costumed participants moving through a crowded nighttime celebration frequently stopping to pose embrace dance and perform for the camera. Costumes range from Snow White and other fairy tale figures to nurses brides cowboys showgirls geisha inspired characters with parasols Egyptian royalty devils flight attendants and performers in elaborate gowns lingerie wigs feathers sequins jewelry and theatrical makeup. Several photographs concentrate on coordinated groups: three figures appear in matching blue dresses and white caps; blond performers carry circular signs reading "Air Head Airlines"; a nurse wears white with prominent red crosses; and bridal and princess costumes recur in exaggerated forms. Other images capture pairs embracing friends laughing for the camera performers dancing among spectators and men adopting deliberately heightened feminine personae through padded bodies evening dresses high heels wigs cosmetics and jewelry. The recurring participants and crowded surroundings preserve the Carnaval as a social event rather than simply a costume display recording interaction between drag performers friends spectators couples and other revelers within West Hollywood's nightlife environment. The photographs belong to a specific history of West Hollywood as both a center of gay life in Southern California and a municipality in which LGBTQ political power became part of civic identity. The city's connection to gay activism preceded incorporation: Los Angeles Pride moved to West Hollywood in the 1980s while local organizing around gay rights HIV and AIDS domestic partnership and discrimination shaped the government established in 1984. Halloween developed within that environment as a particularly visible form of queer public culture. A 1995 Los Angeles Times account described gender bending costume as a defining feature of the West Hollywood celebration even as its popularity brought an increasingly broad public audience. As the scale continued to grow the City later described the Carnaval as the country's largest outdoor Halloween celebration and has recorded attendance estimates reaching hundreds of thousands while identifying costumes exhibition performance and self expression as defining elements of the event. These photographs capture that culture during the 1990s when an event rooted in gay community life was becoming a mass regional spectacle without losing drag and gender transformation as central forms of participation. Light surface wear and occasional handling marks; images remain strong and legible. Overall in very good condition. A substantial photographic record of West Hollywood Halloween at the intersection of gay civic identity drag culture gender performance and one of the nation's largest public Halloween celebrations. unknown

1969réf. 229941969. LGBTQTransgenderCross-Dressing Anonymous. Miss High-heels. New York: Grove Press Inc. 1969. First U.S. edition. Octavo. Lime green cloth boards in original photo-illustrated dust jacket. First published anonymously in Paris in 1931 Miss High-heels is an infamous work of fetishistic and feminization-themed erotica presented here in its first U.S. printing by Grove Press known for its defiance of censorship and promotion of transgressive literature. The novel tells the story of Dennis Evelyn Beryl a young effeminate English aristocrat who under the coercive influence of his domineering step-sister Helen is gradually transformed into "Denise" the titular Miss High-heels. Framed as a fictional memoir penned at Helen's command the narrative follows Dennis's journey from privileged heir to submissive cross-dresser. He is forced into girls' school stripped of masculine identifiers and eventually returned to the family estate clothed in "diamond-buckled satin slippers" and "the finest silks and satins" fully assuming the role of a "fetichiste-du-pied." Themes of humiliation and gender inversion mark the main character's transition as a fetish story but the book also allows for them to feel comfortable in their new identity: "Eventually Dennis is brought to realize how much more pleasurable is his life as a young girl and he willingly abandons his name fortune and life to the whims of Helen." Notable both for its elaborate prose and for its early depiction of forced feminization fantasy Miss High-heels occupies a space between pornography and proto-trans literature which would later flourish in small press chapbook format in the 80s and 90s. While drenched in the misogynistic and sadomasochistic tropes of its genre the text is nevertheless of interest among scholars of queer publishing history. Binding tight and square; boards clean; jacket bright with light shelfwear and a single 1/2 in closed tear at the top margin of front panel. Overall near fine in very good dust jacket. A historically resonant text in trans and fetish literature. unknown

2000réf. 235592000. Imperial Court of New York Pride parade photo archive showing drag royalty queer pageantry and public LGBTQ Pride in Manhattan circa 2000 when court organizations used coronation ritual and performance spectacle to make gay community work visible in the street.

The International Court System identifies its chapters as courts with elected leaders bearing titles such as emperor empress prince and princess and describes their work through coronation events drag performances and community activities supporting LGBTQ rights social services and charitable causes.

Clean versos; images bright with good color and sharpness. Overall in very good condition.

1991réf. 237521991. Three works of transvestite and gender transformation fiction by Jan O'Sullivan Susan Peerless and Michelle Lange published 1991 to 1992 for a readership developing literary and social networks outside mainstream publishing. Issued by Empathy Press and Reluctant Press the novels center on forced feminization domestic service supernatural transformation and cross-gender identification using contemporary publisher terminology including "Transvestite Fiction Fantasy" and "TV" fiction. Michelle Lange also appeared in "The TV TS Tapestry Journal" published by the International Foundation for Gender Education where she described her interest in domestic service sought correspondence with others and stated that she collected and wrote stories drawn from experiences and fantasies. Reluctant Press advertised in "Tapestry" as well placing both within the underground national print network through which crossdressers and trans people exchanged writing correspondence and commercial resources in the early 1990s. Three staple-bound illustrated fiction booklets each approximately 5½ x 8½ inches published 1991 to 1992: 1 O'Sullivan Jan. "School for Shemales." Seattle: Empathy Press 1991. 50 pp. "A Transvestite Fiction Fantasy." 2 Peerless Susan. "Spirit of a Lady." Alexandria Virginia: Reluctant Press 1992. 84 pp. Illustrated by Brian Dukehart. First printing. Peerless was a recurring Reluctant Press author with other fiction issued by the press including "Two Pink Ladies" "An Antebellum Way of Life" "Unchained Bride" and "Georgio & Zoe." 3 Lange Michelle. "Mademoiselle's Replacement." Alexandria Virginia: Reluctant Press 1992. 64 pp. Illustrated by Brian Dukehart. First printing October 1992. The publisher's introductory text identifies Lange as the author of the earlier "Forced to be A Maiden Person" and describes the story as "a delightful version of a young man being transformed into the perfect French maid." Under the same name in "TV TS Tapestry" Lange described enjoying domestic service from the servant's point of view and writing stories based on "experiences and fantasies." The three booklets belong to the early-1990s cross-dressing and trans print culture represented by "TV TS Tapestry" which carried erotic fiction personal ads medical and legal writing and advertising from publishers including Reluctant Press. Lange's contribution provides a direct link between commercial transformation fiction and that wider community print network: her interest in domestic service appears both in her published fiction and in her own "Tapestry" statement. The books retain the period's terminology including "Transvestite" "TV" and "transsexual" while their publishers and authors operated within a market where erotic transformation fiction circulated alongside personal correspondence community information organizations and other services. Light rubbing and toning to wrappers with minor handling wear and retail labels to covers; interiors appear clean and intact. Overall very good condition.
