Lillian Starr: Pinup Girl is a portrait of Lillian Starr, a queer femme burlesque performer and star in Sydney’s burlesque scene. The portrait is a re-take of Robert Doisneau’s Pinups, Paris, 1952 which depicted a male docker/cabaret performer lying on his bed and gazing at pinups of women, which Doisneau described as “the parody of the masculine man”.

thinking about this picture from 1975 taken in san fran on this day period
A hand-colored photo from 1935 to 1940 of a group of gay men, taken in
jail, after they had been arrested for “public indecency,” in Mexico
City. I’m amazed by the attitude of some of these men, posing defiantly
and glamorously in such adverse conditions.
