I have just discovered Barbette and I am so sad that no one told me about him before! I mean MY GOODNESS! :O “Barbette (December 19, 1899 – August 5, 1973) was an American female impersonator, high wire performer, and trapeze artist born in Texas on December 19, 1899. Barbette attained great popularity throughout the United States but his greatest fame came in Europe and especially Paris, in the 1920s and 1930s.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbette_%28performer%29
