In 1986, TWT: this week in Texas magazine published the Mr. Texas calendar, a series of paper dolls, illustrated by Lance Rayburn (artist we are preparing a post about).
For each month the calendar had a paper doll of the winner of the Mr.Texas contest.
Mr. [Gay] Texas contest according to the magazine TWT:
"There were lots of drag pageants over the
years, but this was one for the guys, and was held from roughly 1974 through 1989, covered of course in TWT
Magazine."
As far as I could understand, the Mr Texas contest was an annual charity event.All profits were given to the Texas Human Rights Foundation aadvocates group.They helped by legal means to prevent anti-LGBT community measures from being used or exercised as an extension of the law.
We will share the calendar pages here, not in monthly order, but in the order of Mr. Texas winner from the years 1974 to 1986.
We present The first Mr. Texas winner: CJ Harrington (1945-2018).

A revista TWT:this week in Texas publicou no ano de 1986 o calendário Mr. Texas, uma série de paper dolls, ilustrada por Lance Rayburn (artista sobre o qual estamos a preparar um post). Para cada
mês o calendário tinha a paper doll de um vencedor do concurso Mr.
[Gay ]Texas. O concurso Mr. [Gay] Texas conforme diz a TWT :“Houve muitos concursos de drag ao longo dos anos, mas este foi para os rapazes, e foi realizado aproximadamente de 1974 a 1989, com cobertura, claro, na TWT Magazine.” tanto quanto eu entendi o concurso Mr Texas era um evento anual de beneficência. Todos os lucros eram entregues ao grupo Human rigths advocates. Eles ajudavam pelos meios legais a evitar que medidas anti comunidade LGBT fossem usadas ou exercidas como extensão da lei. Vamos
partilhar aqui as páginas do calendário, não pela ordem mensal, mas
pela ordem do Mr. Texas vencedor do anos 1974 até 1986. O primeiro Mr. Texas que apresentamos é: CJ Harrington(1945-2018). CJ Harrington foi modelo, ganhou vários concursos inclusive o Mr. David em 1973 e o Mr. Gay Texas em 1974. Formou a Muscles in action, uma companhia de dança masculina e foi responsável pela realização de eventos de angariação de fundos. Aqui partilhamos a paper doll de CJ Harrington com o outfit usado no concurso Mr. Texas. Partilhem as vossas paper dolls, deixem o vosso comentário e obrigado pela visita. Até à próxima! *****A informação que aqui partilhamos foi encontrada no site Houston

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!
