Southern Belle Boys

Starla continues to amaze me with more new femulation finds in the online high school yearbooks. She sent me 89 new ones* that are now in the Yearbook Femulations flickr archive.

What also amazes me is how many schools have held femulating events over the years. So I ran some numbers on the over 2600 images in the archive to find the epicenter of high school femulations.

With the popularity of womanless beauty pageants in the Southern United States, it was no surprise that the South had 10 states in the top 15 (based on the number of images in the archive).

Texas and California were number 1 and 2 respectively, again no surprise, but I was very surprised to see Oklahoma (ranked 28th in population) in the number 3 slot beating out the more populous Florida (ranked 8th in population).

Here is the ranking of the 50 states and the District of Columbia:     

1 Texas 338 14 Pennsylvania 72 27 Wisconsin 27 40 North Dakota 7
2 California 240 15 Tennessee 68 28 Massachusetts 26 41 Wyoming 7
3 Oklahoma 190 16 Indiana 62 29 Maryland 24 42 Utah 5
4 Florida 153 17 Oregon 52 30 Arizona 23 43 Alaska 4
5 Louisiana 122 18 South Carolina 49 31 Kansas 20 44 Montana 4
6 Michigan 101 19 Mississippi 47 32 Nevada 18 45 Delaware 3
7 Georgia 96 20 Missouri 42 33 West Virginia 12 46 Hawaii 3
8 Alabama 94 21 New York 41 34 Idaho 10 47 Maine 3
9 Arkansas 92 22 Kentucky 37 35 Connecticut 9 48 New Hampshire 2
10 Ohio 91 23 New Jersey 36 36 New Mexico 9 49 Vermont 2
11 Illinois 90 24 Washington 34 37 South Dakota 8 50 District of Columbia 1
12 Virginia 84 25 Minnesota 32 38 Colorado 7 51 Rhode Island 1
13 North Carolina 77 26 Iowa 28 39 Nebraska 7  

*  To view the latest additions to the collection:
Method 1: Open one of the Yearbooks sets (A through Z) and you will find the newest uploads at the end/bottom of the set. (The oldest uploads appear at the beginning/top of the set.)
Method 2: Open my photostream and you will find the newest uploads at the top of page 1. The uploads get older as the page numbers get higher with the oldest uploads on the last page.
By the way, the contents of the Yearbook A through Z sets are organized according to school name, for example, the photos from Hard Knox High School would be in the Yearbooks H set.

  2. I noticed too that it's the "red" states that seem to embrace this practice the most. I wonder why that is?

    Here near Chicago, I was in high school from 1965-1969 and never heard of such a thing back then, although they did have an annual "powderpuff" football game where girls played football and a few of the guys from the football team acted as cheerleaders, wearing cheerleader outfits. I don't know if I would have had the nerve to dress up even if we'd had a turnabout/crossdressing day, and besides, I was already way too tall, 6'4" at age 14, so clothes would have been a problem, also had a father who would have probably physically attacked me if I'd tried it.
