I did some investigating and discovered that I was not hearing things; there were a bunch of womanless photos that I failed to upload to flickr. So I corrected the error of my ways and 14 new images, like the one on the left, from womanless events of the near and distant past now reside on my flickr page where you may view them in two ways:
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.
The contents of the Yearbook A through Z sets are organized according to school name, for example, the photos from Sacred Heart High School would be in the Yearbooks S set.
Stats
After I uploaded the images to flickr, I checked the statistics and was surprised that this image of me has the most views (92,070) of all the images I have uploaded to flickr. I am surprised because in my opinion, there are better images of me to view on flickr, but the customer is always right.
The most viewed womanless image is this 1980 photo from Wolfson High School in Jacksonville, Florida, with 72,024 views. Looking at the photo, it is obvious why it is popular, but my favorite is the second most viewed (71,536) womanless image: an excellent femulation by a Texas beauty in 1981.
You All
By the way, if you participated in your school's womanless beauty pageant or attended some other school activity en femme, I would love to post your photos along with any description you would like to provide. (No one has taken me up on this offer, so far, but I am still hopeful and very patient!)

I must confess the Todd Matlock photo is my favorite. His pose is so natural, as if he’s fully aware of lovely drape of his skirt over his crossed legs. More importantly, his smile says “this is so very delightful. When do I get to wear these lovely clothes again?”
ReplyDeleteWow Stana. No idea you had so many photos of these womanless beauty pageants. I linked back to you from Sister House as I have a section in my Comedy Theater on these pageants here https://www.sisterhouse.net/familyroom/womanless-beauty-pageants/. I also have a Pinterest page on Womanless beauty Contests https://www.pinterest.com/tasidevil/womanless-beauty-pageant/. Just wish they'd had them in my HS when growing up. I really missed out
ReplyDeleteSome of the people in the pictures look so good that if you did not read the caption you would not realise they are not girls
