Gender Disguise has been around for years, and even Shakespeare used it in the 'The Merchant of Venice' and 'Twelfth Night.' It is used in society by females to pass as male, and males to pass themselves off as female.


"Sirrah, go you to Barthol'mew my page, And see him dress'd in all suits like a lady; That done, conduct him to the drunkard's chamber, And call him 'madam,' do him obeisance."
— LordThe Taming of the Shrew


Leland Bobbe is a famous photographer who recently captured two sides of the cites Drag Queens- the unrestrained made-up drag divas, and the men that lie beneath.
"Bobbé tells Huffington Post Gay Voices, "Through the power of hair and makeup these men are able to completely transform themselves and find their female side while simultaneously showing their male side." Shockingly, the identities are composed in camera and are not separate images joined during editing." - The Huffington Post
