The page-3 Editorial says -

"Welcome to the unique world of the female impersonator . . . . a classic art form whose roots began as early as the theater itself when the spectacle of the play began to evolve . . . . many performers demonstrate an incredible skill that allows their audiences to see beyond the drag, to a level of conscious awareness that defines the female objectively . . . .

"Part 1 of this two-part pictorial of contemporary impersonators deals with the men who have made their mark in the field ten to twenty years ago."

a note about the cover

Jennifer Jordan Associates published The Queens, Part 1, in 1976. Unsold copies were returned to the distributor, Parliament News.

Either Parliament News or Delta Publishing Company removed the covers of The Queens, Part 1, and replaced the originals with new layouts. The outer wrapping of the Queens, Part 1, was changed to Guys in Drag, Volume 1, Number 4. The inside front cover shows that this magazine was published by Delta Publishing Company in 1977.

To attach the new covers, two additional staples were used, piercing the new covers and the 15 sheets (four pages to each folded sheet) that comprised the 60 remaining pages of the original publication. As a consequence, the centerfold contains the ends of four staples: the two original staples and two used to attach the second covers.

Under cover of Guys in Drag, we received The Queens, Part 1, with original covers replaced.

Low resolution images of the front cover, inside front cover (Contents) and back cover were found on a website. These three pages are positioned in the ebook where they belong, but the picture quality may appear a little rough. The replacement covers are included at end of the ebook.

The digital replica contains all the content of the 64-page magazine (except the inside back cover) in the original sequence of pages. Some page layouts have been changed.
Photo tone was adjusted, achieving bright images and mostly smooth textures. The original magazine has good photography and the ebook makes the most of it.

All new scans.

Most performers appear on one or two pages with a paragraph about background, talents, venues and careers. This festive photo album pays warm respect to dozens of gifted illusionaries in tights.
