Lessons in Historical Male Peacocking, from Lord Gaga to the King of Afrofuturism

They're performers. Dandies. Men with a streak of the mad poet. Writers, dancers, and professional party boys. Though these eccentrics span across generations, all share a brazen commitment to being themselves that's made for some of the most memorable menswear moments in the 19th and 20th centuries

Big Hair: A collection of epic ‘80s hairstyles

In the past on Dangerous Minds I’ve blogged about ‘The higher the hair, the closer to God’: Glorious BIG hair from the 1960s and Outrageously HUGE pompadours. This time I’m tackling the ever so awesome hairstyles of the 1980s. Just like the ‘60s bouffant and the ‘50s pompadour, the 19....

Drag-tastic covers from vintage crossdresser magazine ‘Female Mimics’

A fantastic, gender-bending cover of ‘Female Mimics” magazine, 1971. Launched in 1963, Female Mimics magazine was the very first glossy covered cross-dressing publication of its kind. In the past magazines of this sort tended to be the size of “digests” so this was a rather significant ad....

Filmmakers and felines: Jean Cocteau had a club for cat lovers!

Artist Jean Cocteau made great movies and was a huge fan of cats. So much so that he made epic amounts of cat-themed art and was a primary member of a Parisian organization for cat lovers!

Divine and friends action figures from John Waters’ ‘Female Trouble’

“Mr. Wineberger, Dawn Davenport is eating a meatball sandwich right out in CLAESS!” Divine’s official social media guru directed my attention, yesterday, to the work of sculptor Tyson Tabbert, who recently created a batch of “action figures” for John Waters’ masterpiece Female Trouble....

Spend New Year’s Eve 1968 with The Who, Small Faces, Françoise Hardy & Pink Floyd

New Years Eve, Paris, 1968. Amidst a volatile political climate of civil unrest that nearly brought the entire country to a virtual halt, rock ‘n’ roll music was still prevailed as “teenage entertainment” before being overthrown by the hippie culture of Woodstock the following year. The 3....

‘The Junky’s Christmas’: The William S. Burroughs short film presented by Francis Ford Coppola

If you have even the most passing knowledge of the life and work of William S. Burroughs, nothing should seem more out of the ordinary than finding the author of surreal he**in tomes nodding pensively at the beginning of this 1993 Francis Ford Coppola-produced short film directed by Nick Donkin a....

Cheap Dollar Store toys become bizarre, mashed-up works of art

A plastic wrestling action figure mashed-up with a Marvel ‘Red Skull’ action figure becomes ‘DEVO the Barbarian.’ Perhaps taking notes from H.G. Wells 1896 novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, the fantastic Tumblr Dollar Store Combine features odd creations that were made by mashing-up items t....
