Hoover
On this day, May 2nd, in 1972 J. Edgar Hoover, director of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) died. He was noted for blackmailing politicians, but most people now think of him as a cross dresser and a homosexual. I think there is enough proof of the latter, but there are no pictures as far as I know of Hoover dressed up as woman. I started photographing gender benders in the early Seventies and I would have loved to photograph him. So, here is a Photoshopped Hoover to make up for that.
