EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Malcolm Scott, a music hall entertainer who delighted audiences in 1907 with his clever parody of the popular Gibson Girl image. The Gibson Girl was a fashionable archetype of the early 20th century, characterized by her slender figure, full bosom, and voluminous hair. Malcolm Scott, however, subverted this feminine ideal by donning a dress and adopting the exaggerated features of the Gibson Girl in a drag performance. The image showcases Scott's impeccable attention to detail in replicating the Gibson Girl's iconic style. He wears an ornate, frilly dress with a tight waist, full skirt, and puff sleeves, accessorized with a large hat adorned with flowers and a long, flowing scarf. His makeup is heavy, with defined eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and a bold lip. His hair is styled in the Gibson Girl's signature waves, cascading down his shoulders. Despite the playful nature of his performance, Malcolm Scott's portrayal of the Gibson Girl challenged societal norms and gender roles during a time when cross-dressing and transvestism were often stigmatized. His ability to entertain and poke fun at the fashionable Gibson Girl image demonstrates the power of performance art to challenge and subvert societal expectations. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century entertainment and the complex ways in which gender and identity were explored and performed on the music hall stage.
