World Ballet Day
Oops, I'm late in posting this, as World Ballet Day was October 4. In honor of the occasion, how about a couple of new pics of dancer Chase Johnsey (aka Serenity Lopez or Yakatarina Verbosovich)?
Next, a brief video:
And, finally, a longer video:

Dixie update
It may be my imagination, but it appears that Dixie Lynn Cartwright has toned down the eye makeup and acquired some lovely new wigs and dresses.
She's more beautiful than ever.
Here's another recent shot from her Instagram page:

All-Male Theatrical Productions
I've been reading about all-male theatrical productions, which often feature the work of William Shakespeare. That's unsurprising as it basically reflects an attempt to produce the Bard's work in a way consistent with its original form.
The Washington, DC, Shakespeare Theatre Company is a prominent center for all-male productions. Here are a few pictures from their recent staging of "Taming of the Shrew."
Maulik Pancholy as Katherina
Oliver Thornton as Bianca
Rick Hammerly as the Widow:

Making Herstory
The Democratic Party is meeting in Philadelphia this week to nominate Hillary Clinton as its presidential candidate. This will be an hiserstoric moment.
If Hillary wins, the "first lady" will be a man.
In anticipation of this possibility, LGBT activist Santiago Durazzo has been dressing and campaigning as "First Lady Bill" for months. His picture (in costume) has been featured in the Washington Post and other news outlets.
Comparing the current caricature pics to the website photos, it appears Durazzo may have trimmed some of his leg hair for the DNC. Good to know he dresses for special occasions.

Baseball season
We've all seen videos of Japanese game shows featuring cross-dressing. And Jaye Kaye has often features Japanese cosplayers on her highly recommended tumblr "a gender game for gifted guys."
Have you ever seen anything quite like this story about Japanese baseball players who dressed as gurls to "amuse fans!" This video is embedded in the story.

Princesses
For years, Richard Schaefer's tumblr Ariel's Grotto has been in the right-hand bloglist. You can see his cosplay evolution in the above images.
This past month, Ariel has been the subject of much publicity -- pieces in Cosmo online, The Daily Mail, The Huffington Post, The National Enquirer, etc. That's the kind of attention that helps yield 158,000 followers on Instagram!
I wonder if Richard would cosplay Hannah Montana, Lizzie McGuire, or Jessica Rabbit? Here's a Taylor Swift look:
Mostly, as the stories report, Richard goes in for Disney princesses. Here are some faves:

RIP Alanis Laurell (Ross), one of the 49 victims at Pulse.
Her artistry is apparent on any number of videos on youtube.
Alanis was simply lovely.

Yasumasa Morimura
Are you familiar with the photographer Yasumasa Morimura? He does self-portraits in the guise of famous people and iconic photos.
Hare are some fantastic examples -- Audrey Hepburn, Brigette Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlene Dietrich. A Google image search will yield many more treasures, including some male icons.

Favorites from Flickr
I check my Flickr account about once per week. It's always a good morning when I find new pics of Gina Lee. Though she's outdoors in the sunlight, she's ready here for a night on the town:

Gender and Race Transformation?
This is Jerzy Grzechnik performing as Diana Ross on the Polish television program Twoja Twarz Brzmi Znajomo.
How do we feel about the blackface?
Jerzy has already appeared on the show as Adele and Britney Spears.

Chasity Marie
Psssst, Jaye Kaye. You are going to want to see Chasity Marie's Instagram page.
Her boyfriend Kyle is a cosmetologist!
Chasity has posted plenty of pictures of herself in gowns, but I think this is an even better full-body shot:
W-O-W!
Young. Petite. Beautiful. Pageant winner.

Alena Mnsk
Alena Mnsk is a beautiful gurl from Belarus who used to have a popular channel on youtube. Some of her videos are still available, but they have apparently been posted by other users (who presumably copied them).
It's good to know Alena looks great in 2016:
I think Alena was last featured here in 2009.
Myspace!

More Secrets
The Hungarian TV show SztΓ‘rban SztΓ‘r is yet another version of Your Face Sounds Familiar. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, it is not always easy to find performances from global editions of this program on youtube. My guess is that this problem is related to copyright. Perhaps the programs make deals to utilize songs, but the deals restrict access in the USA?
For whatever reason, I cannot find the performance of Peter SrΓ‘mek as a gurl. They might as well be secret. Luckily, however, pictures are available.
I'm not sure I know this artist, but I believe she is Judit HernΓ‘di.
The pics and performance reveal head-to-toe beauty:
Apparently, this is supposed to be an imitation of the leggy Tina Turner:
And this is a femulation of BorbΓ‘la PΓ©terfy:
I believe young Peter also performed as Boy George and as a member of the Spice Girls.

Global Secrets
I spend a good deal of time on youtube looking for singing videos from the television show "Your Face Sounds Familiar." It is known by various names in different countries around the world. It can be frustrating to find new videos.
Some of the videos are posted by fans, and they are often blocked by the network that originally aired the footage. Other videos are posted by the networks, but are blocked in my country -- or removed after a short period of time.
The Romanian version, called "Te cunosc de undeva!" is known for its terrific impersonators, but many of the very best performances seem to be unavailable on youtube. The most recent entire season seems to be blocked from viewers in the USA.
Here are a few pics of a couple of the best femulators singing.
Florin Ristei has performed often as a gurl:
