EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1972, we are transported back to a time when gender boundaries were being pushed and celebrated. The image captures the excitement and anticipation as contestants line up for the highly anticipated contest to find the best female impersonator. Men, women, transvestites, all adorned in extravagant fancy dress costumes, stand side by side with an air of confidence and determination. Amongst this diverse group of individuals vying for the coveted title is John Burns, a 21-year-old barman hailing from Blackburn. Positioned at the extreme left of the lineup, little did anyone know that he would emerge victorious as the winner of this groundbreaking competition. The photograph not only showcases the vibrant energy of the era but also serves as a powerful reminder of society's evolving attitudes towards gender expression during that time. It encapsulates a moment where individuals felt empowered to freely express themselves through their chosen alter egos. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, it becomes evident that these brave souls paved the way for future generations to embrace their true selves without fear or judgment. This image stands as a testament to their courage and resilience in breaking down societal barriers while celebrating diversity within our communities.
