EDITORS COMMENTS
Drag Artists - The Gay Ball at Top rank Suite, Liverpool (1972)". Step back in time and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of drag queens as captured by photographer Roland Hicklin. This print takes us to the heart of a glamorous contest for the best female impersonator held at the iconic Top Rank Suite in Liverpool on May 17th, 1972. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a celebration of self-expression and defiance against societal norms. These drag artists fearlessly embrace their identities, adorning themselves with dazzling costumes and impeccable makeup. Each performer exudes confidence and charisma as they take center stage to captivate an enthusiastic audience. The atmosphere is electric; laughter fills the air while applause echoes through the room. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are reminded of how these trailblazing individuals paved the way for acceptance and equality within LGBTQ+ communities. Roland Hicklin's lens captures not only a moment but also an era when drag queens challenged conventions and shattered stereotypes. Their artistry transcends gender boundaries, reminding us that true beauty lies within authenticity. This photograph is a testament to resilience, courage, and unity—a powerful reminder that love knows no bounds. Let it serve as an inspiration to embrace our own uniqueness boldly and unapologetically just like these extraordinary drag artists did on that unforgettable night in Liverpool.
