I recently gave a lecture on cross-dressing to a terrific sociology class at FIT (and yes, I wore the outfit above), and I had such ridiculous fun (and stress!) researching it that I thought I&#8217;d share with the blogosphere to spread the wealth. You don&#8217;t get the pleasure of my witty repartee, but you do [...]]]></description>

Incorporating mannequins &#8212; invented to market and [...]]]></description>

In an effort to convince her husband to lower taxes, Lady Godiva is rumored [...]]]></description>
