Miss Vesta Tillery “the dandiest fellah turned sixteen”
Thanks to the University of Saskatchewan’s extremely thorough archive of gay and lesbian culture I bring to you — Ambisextrous Vaudeville. This archive features brilliant sheet music covers along with the most famous drag personas in British and American Vaudeville. I posted the best of the fellahs—women dressed as dandies.

Victoria Woodhull wasn’t gay, but she’s my fave. She didn’t always wear men’s clothing, but she cut her hair short, sometimes wore pants, and traded on Wall Street!

Yay Saskatchewan!! Who knew that gay and lesbian culture would be their strong suit?? Mysterious yet gratifying.
Yeah, Saskatchewan, who knew?!?!?!? I love it.
