A welcome paragraph on page 3 of Drag Queen, Number 1, announces that the staff has migrated from Female Impersonator magazine, which was published by Health Knowledge. Although not specifically mentioned, this probably means that Pudgy Roberts, author of The Female Impersonator's Handbook, edited Drag Queen and may also have been its publisher. He writes, "Female Impersonation is an Art that has no boundaries and no equal. It is our hope to continue to serve you with an outlet to exchange new vistas in this exciting field!"
The magazine cover boasts about balls and three photo-essays describe them. Festive party-goers glam it up in feathers, furs, wigs and glittery frocks. We peek in at Phil Black's Valentine Ball, Lee Brewster's Ball, and the Coit Annual Debutante Ball, San Francisco's yearly coming out party.
Pictures introduce us to two talented impersonators. We see Jessie St. John transform from male to female, applying make-up, wig and a stripper's gown. Vicki Starr shows off the assets that made her a popular topless dancer in Pierre's of North Beach.
One article that piques nostalgia shows publicity stills from movies of the time. Myra Breckenridge, The Boys in the Band, The Christine Jorgenson Story, and Cotton Comes to Harlem addressed themes that were only oblique references in feature films before 1970.
An essay offers advice for using make-up effectively. Many letters to the editor show a snapshot of the writer in drag. Some readers make reference to Female Impersonator magazine. A few editor replies to letters suggest finding answers in The Female Impersonator's Handbook.
The full-sized digital replica shows every page (many in color) of the original magazine, including advertising and a list of night clubs from coast-to-coast.

Venus Castina by C J Bulliet
After working as a journalist for nine years in Indianapolis, during which time he reviewed plays, Mr. Bulliet found employment doing publicity for a traveling Shakespeare company. He worked as an art critic and was the author of four books. It's fair to say that he was a professional writer, far ahead of his time.
In Venus Castina, Mr. Bulliet shows the audacity to address a previously unexplored subject, and begins his account of famous female impersonators shortly after the invention of alphabets. His comprehensive inventory of personalities includes Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, emperors, philosophers, warriors and writers. His 300+ page history blends record, memoirs, gossip, innuendo, and rumors of 25 centuries. He not only tells us what notable impersonators wore at dinner, he describes the cuisine. The readable prose crackles with witty conversation, quotations from many books, and clever verse.
Between surprising anecdotes and lines from famous literature, he refers to Plutarch, Socrates, Shakespeare, Abbe de Choissy, Queen Elisabeth I, Homer, Oscar Wilde, Francis Bacon, Julian Eltinge, Virgil, George M. Cohan, Solomon, Havelock Ellis, Moliere, Eddie Foy, Juvenal, King Charles (I and II), Victor Hugo, Ben Jonson and the Y.M.C.A. He spends several chapters describing the costumes and figures of actors and opera singers who worked onstage in female roles.
The ebook carefully reconstructs pages and typography of the original hardcover book. The text has been completely re-set for the ebook iteration of this modern classic of esoteric history. Twelve Alexander King illustrations are included, placed after the text they are adjacent to in the original.
A unique and pioneering research work, it reflects the boisterous timbre of its era — the racy Twenties and its disastrous Volsteadism. Sophisticated and confident, wry and warm, Mr. Bulliet offers a treasure of information about colorful female impersonators, the kind of information that piques t-v pride.
Guys in Gowns
According to Dr. Bienvenu, Leonard Burtman published out of two dozen corporations from 1954 to 1970. In 1964, S-K Publishers produced several digest-sized one-shots, including the first publication with the name Bizarre Life.
Guys in Gowns has a format identical to the Connoisseur series: color covers and 64 interior pages of monochrome photographs with little text. Mr. Burtman launched Female Mimics magazine in 1963 as a Selbee Associates product and performers seen in Guys in Gowns were also featured in issues of the full-sized magazine.
The conscientiously produced volume introduces us to four entertainers: Kim August, Hans, Terry Noel and Toby Marsh. We meet them in apartments and are shown bits of the male to female conversion process, applying makeup, wigs, and stockings. No pictures show impersonators on stage.
Cute, flirty, knowing and sexy, they show off in leather, nylons, lace and fur. Competent at projecting female identity, they seduce us into assuming that these are pictures of women. However they transpose gender, it's clear they're having fun creating unique, feminine personalities.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Robert Harrison published "girlie" magazines on pulp paper with titles like Beauty Parade, Wink, Flirt, Titter, and Eyeful. The models included chorus girls, strippers and burlesque entertainers, with text and comic images frequently referring to Broadway.
The original layouts were often like burlesque presentations, with an accent on jokes and gags, often involving puns. Some layouts included comedians in baggy pants.
Many of the the pictorials were given alliterative titles, and one of these, Fancy Femmes, provides the title of our ebook. With this expression, the magazine describes women who enjoy dressing in stockings, garter belts, corsets, lacy undergarments and the highest of heels. Although the Harrison product is fairly remembered for its cheesecake, each issue served generous helpings of models in extra-high heels and old-fashioned corsets and stockings through the 1940s and early 1950s.
This original ebook anthology, second in the series, collects photographs of the prettiest models in high (4½+ inch) heels, with some as high as 6 inches, and arranges them on wide, optimized ebook pages. On 140 pages, models show off classic curves and pinup-quality legs in spikes, stockings and a few spectacular corsets.
Except for the splendid Peter Driben cover paintings, all photos are monochrome.
The second section shows 12 complete pages on a variety of subjects including Fashions in Love, Dick Tracy, letters to the editor and an episode from a John Willie comic serial. These pages also show photos of Betty Grable, Ginger Rogers and Bettie Page.
Finally, many pages of advertising for an assortment of wares, including remedies, novelty ashtrays, jackets, automobile seat covers, lingerie and other undergarments. Ads by Irving Klaw and others offer pinup photos. Many publishers offer books on wrestling, marriage, forbidden mysteries, Bubu of Montparnasse, jokes and assorted fiction. The reader was encouraged to buy training programs to learn how to draw, improve complexion, lose weight, gain weight, ju jitsu, play piano, type, start a business, stop smoking and write love letters.
A free sampler of Fancy Femmes, Volume two, is available through the website

Submission in Satin, C-10
Selbee Associates published the Connoisseur Series from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. The content spanned multiple themes and often consisted of photographs without text.
While many Selbee covers mislead and misinform, Submission in Satin lives up to its cover. With good photography and conscientious production, it is certainly among the best of the best of Mr. Burtman's publishing and photo orchestrations during his tenure in New York.
Without words, Submission in Satin, C-10, tells the dress-up story of three models: Jackie Miller, Anita Ventura, and a petite blond let's call her Sue. When Sue fastens a corset around Jackie, Anita decides that she wants to wear a corset, too. Still dressed in her own tight satin corset and high-heeled pumps, Sue helps Anita into her corset and attaches garter straps to stocking tops. Then, the bossy brunettes decide they are going out and have Sue, who changes into high-heeled mules, lace up shiny, knee-high boots. After the two statuesque women depart in leather and satin sheath dresses, Sue discovers an interesting pair of white ankle boots and black patent corset, which she seems to enjoy showing off to the camera.
While the setting for the photo shoot was an apartment living room, this is a boudoir scenario, and Sue functions as lady's maid. We are shown three leggy lovelies in various stages of dishabille, fitting stockings, tight corsets, bras, panties, garter belts and assorted hosiery.
The optimized ebook version shows multiple views of most photographs, with enlarged views of legs, heels and corsets. Wide ebook pages fill monitor screens and reduce the need for scrolling and zooming.
a free sample of Submission in Satin, C-10 is available through the website:
