The Cockettes

Stills from the glittertastic documentary The Cockettes by David Weissman and Bill Weber. The performance group/acid heads depicted were drugged out, hippie drag queens swathed in glitter, crinoline, hoop skirts, and colored lace. Any fan of vintage and dressing up can’t help but be inspired by these images. There are many more after the jump.

Is a blog we created to share all of the old magazines, book covers, family photos, film stills, clothes and much, much more that have, without an outlet, been accruing and congesting our living spaces and hard drives for years. Much like the surrealist exercise the name derives from, each contributor adds an image to the blog whenever the urge strikes, creating an ongoing visual dialogue that we hope you enjoy.

With the exception of the site design, all images on this web site are the property of their respective copyright holders. We make every effort to credit the owner (or at least the source) of each image however, if you are the owner of any image on the site that we have failed to properly identify and you would like credit (or you would like the image removed), please do not hesitate to contact us directly (email RotatingCorpse@gmail.com) and we'll rectify the situation immediately.

RotatingCorpse.com does not generate any revenue, our only interest is in the review, criticism and promotion of things we like; you can be sure that any copyright infringement is committed unintentionally and without any financial gain on our part.
