When you think of gay culture and drag queens you think of West Hollywood, San Fran's Folsom or New Yorks Christopher Street but thanks to Artist Robert Heishman Kansas City brought out the girls!
Artist Robert Heishman was rummaging through a junk yard while looking for material for an undergraduate documentary class, when he came across an old slide carousel labeled "Jack's Slides: Chicago and Kansas City." To his surprise, the carousel burst open, unicorns and butterflies flew out, and it was chalked full of dragalicious photos from 1960's Kansas City!
Later, while helping a friend move into a house around the corner from a bunch of old drag clubs in Kansas city, they came across a shoebox in the house with a similar bunch of old photos that appeared to be by the same dude!
NYMagazine has a great interview with Robert regarding his glamorous discovery at READ MORE at nymag.com. -via omgblog.com
