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 |
I went to the wrong high school! LOL
ReplyDeleteI noticed too that it's the "red" states that seem to embrace this practice the most. I wonder why that is?
ReplyDeleteHere 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.
