Jill Huntley, Mistress of the Half and Half Dance
As we can learn from reading the history of the term, a "half and half dance" originally involved a simple bipartite costume, one half male, one half female. But then in Burlesque, the act morphed into dancing with an actual dummy partner.You can read about the mistress of this mode, Jill Huntley, here.

G. G.‘s Barnum Room
Every hepcat knows the name of the Peppermint Lounge, famed in 1960s lore. But not as many folks recall that the same space was transformed in the 1970s into the Barnum Room, the only club with transvestite trapeze artists above the dancers.
Read a period essay about the club here.
See fantabulous fotos here.

Diane Torr and MAN FOR A DAY
Diane Torr has captured everything about my own male daily life so accurately that it's scary! I always move about as if I have "little sacks of sand in my shoulders."

Madame X
From the review in VARIETY:
Fabulous is the only word to describe "Madame X," a candy-colored, fast-paced tale of a pre-op transsexual superhero from Indonesia who fights intolerance.
