Female Impersonation Magazines...
Female Mimics, Female Impersonators, Drag,
Drag Queens, Drag Queen, and Dragazine

I obviously do not have all of the issues of these magazines, nor am I trying to get them,
but I thought I'd show you the covers of what I have. I did grab many images from them
for other sections of this site. I loved it when the focused on the history, and former stars,
though sometimes they could get a bit tawdry. I mainly tried to obtain them if I knew there
was coverage of interest to me, like of the Jewel Box Revue, or the 82 Club.

Female Mimics

   

   

   

   

   

   

Pudgy Roberts also published a "Handbook," which was an amazingly detailed
132-page guideto all things female impersonation.
I thought especially interesting was Chapter 10, giving her descriptions of
the legends, from her viewpoint, in 1967.
Click for that chapter.

is really more pre-1980 I am only showing one copy to acknowledge its existence
