I'm sure you've had these too, especially if you grew up pre-internet. Moments of men wearing women's clothing that just left me gasping for air in my formulative years and are still as vivid as ever in my memory. Hugs, Michelle
1) Jim Bailey appearing on Ed Sullivan. Ed introduced him in boy mode, then half an hour later he performed as Judy Garland or Peggy Lee.
2) A Dear Abby column in which a young lady visits a couple. The first night they went to the ballpark. The second night a stunning, statuesque blond came down the stairs...it was him! "I just do this for kicks", he advised. The three girls went out on the town.
3) A friend in the 5th grade fully dolled up for Halloween. I remember especially the wig, lipstick, nylons and high heels. Don't think he had a garter belt, just kept on rolling his nylons up, and he kept matter-of-factly complaining about the high heels.
4) Christopher Morley in Freebie and the Bean.
5) Christopher Morley in a Playboy photo spread in which he and a girl exchange clothes.
6) Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
7) A comic strip with a police theme. The perp says "I've fooled policemen in five states dressed like this, how did you read me?" "No real woman would miss the run in her nylons."
8) An Archie comic in which he's frustrated about how long Betty and Veronica take to get ready, so gets totally dolled up in record time to show it can be done.
9) A shaving cream commercial in which an undercover agent needs a really close shave to pose as a female. He's gorgeous...the voiceover says "great face...but that body!".
10) Ted Bessell, Marlo Thomas's boyfriend on That Girl, crossdressing.
