But where there are Queens, there are Kings...
And where there is power, there is also subservience...
So, to veer insanely from one end of a spectrum to another, here are some pictures of women who dress like men to show their love for a man. Like a king. The King, in fact.
These photos were taken by Grey Villet in 1957 for TIME Magazine. They show a day in the life of Susan Hull, who has decided to take the plunge and get an Elvis-style pompadour, joining the thousand strong ranks of girls and women in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who love Elvis so much that they want to look like him.
If you want to put it in a modern context, imagine thousands of femme Justin Beiber fans, all with the same, super feathery, peekaboo, come-hither (but not too close, I'm a good Christian) hair*. Just for the love of the Biebs. Have you shuddered? Has an icy cold finger of revulsion crawled down your back? Good, let's look at the pictures.
