Frida Kahlo An Illustrated Biography by Zena Alkayat and ilustrated by Nina Cosford
Frida Kahlo (6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) liked to dress in traditional costumes and pay homage to the different people originating from her country, México.
Her wardrobe includes embroidered shirts, braids wrapped with ribbons wrapped around the top of her head and polleras (large full skirts used in traditional festivities and folklore throughout Latin America).
Many of these costumes, related to the history and traditions of México, made Frida a fashion icon and have already inspired fashion designers and also artists and film directors.
Frida Kahlo's life and the details of her work and personal world are an inspiration to the entire world.
Here I share some paper dolls, that we can find on the internet, as a tribute to this great artist and woman and those who are inspired by her.

In my research on paper dolls I came across the magazine
DRAG Queens: A Magazine about the Transvestite Vol. 1 No. 2 (1971)
It is
curious to read the editorial that brings a message about the
discrimination of other members of the same community in relation to
drag queens... despite the fight for equal rights.
“Homosexual
organizations feel that drag is the ‘tired’ stereotype of the gay
boy and they also don’t want to be identified with the drag queen.”
“We are all homosexuals in the public eye and we should come
together and stop fighting and feeling superior to each other,
because who else can we turn to?”
Each person has the right to be
who they are and to express themselves in the way they wish, without
suffering discrimination, especially from other members of the same
community.
I share with you the paper doll that was published in this
issue of Drag queens magazine, which I recognize from other
publications and which I have also seen used in street art. This
version features, in addition to the leather look, a long dress,
three wigs and accessories… for softer nights!

I noticed this book in the Drag Then and Now post on the Miss Missy Paper doll blog.This book, written by Jake Hall, richly illustrated in vibrant colors, looks to be a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the world of transvestism and drag art.The approach covers, from the beginnings to the present day, the evolution and influence of this form of expression throughout history.Through it we can travel from ancient Greece, through Kabuki performances, through the period of Shakespeare's theater (where female roles were played by younger men) and takes us beyond RuPaul's Drag Race.Jake Hall explores events, real facts, politicians, personalities, fashion and lifestyle environments of the drag phenomenon.It appears to be a thorough and well-researched book that offers a broad and engaging overview of such a diverse and interesting topic.To enrich your reading experience, this book contains two pages with a beautiful paper doll displaying different outfits, dresses with a sand clock silhouette, wigs and lots of accessories to create drag queen glamour!
"Jake Hall (they/them) is an author and journalist who has been writing
about intersectionality and queer culture for over a decade and who has
written extensively for publications like British Vogue, The
Independent, Pink News, Dazed, i-D, VICE, Refinery29 and Slate. Their
first book, The Art of Drag, published in 2020 and has become an
award-winning success, translated into Chinese, Italian, Spanish and
German. As a working-class queer kid from Doncaster, Jake Hall has
always been interested in the experience of marginalised groups and
their aim is to uncover histories that have long gone untold." in https://books.google.pt/
Eu reparei neste livro a partir do post Drag Then and Now no blog Miss Missy Paper dolls. Este livro, escrito por Jake Hall , ricamente
ilustrado com cores vibrantes, parece ser uma leitura fascinante e informativa para quem se
interessa pelo mundo do travestismo e da arte drag. A abordagem abrange, desde os primórdios até os dias de hoje, a evolução e
influência dessa forma de expressão ao longo da história. Através dele podemos viajar desde a Grécia antiga, pelas
performances de Kabuki, passando pelo período do teatro de Shakespeare
(onde os papéis femininos eram interpretados por homens mais novos) e leva-nos
mais além da RuPaul's Drag race. Jake Hall explora eventos, factos reais, políticos, personalidades, moda e ambientes do estilo de vida do fenómeno drag. Parece ser um livro completo e bem
pesquisado, que oferece uma visão ampla e envolvente sobre um tema
tão diverso e interessante. Para
enriquecer a sua experiência de leitura, este livro contem duas páginas com uma lindíssima paper doll exibindo diferentes looks, vestidos com silhueta relógio de areia, perucas e muitos
acessórios para criar o glamour drag queen! Até à próxima.
