Scope and content:

This series consists of posters collected by Judd, as well as a small number of other materials mounted on poster board. The majority of the posters advertise motion pictures that contain incidences of cross-dressing; of the other posters, one is for an erotic film featuring pre-operative male-to-female transsexuals, while several others advertise gay male and heterosexual films that do not appear to contain any incidences of cross-dressing. The non-motion picture material includes a print of a painting of the “Gay Philosopher” by Henry Major (1889-1948); a print of Burt Reynold’s April 1972 Cosmopolitan centerfold; theatrical performances by Sylvester, both alone and with the Cockettes (1977), Danny La Rue in the Christmas pantomime Aladdin (1978), Divine in The Hearbreak of Psoriasis (1975), Holly Woodlawn (1976), and Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan (1990); and the 1985 Sydney Mardi Gras celebration.

Arranged alphabetically by title of motion picture/theatrical performance or subject.
