THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … January 16

1847 – Eliza McCormick of Ontario is arrested after posing as a man and proposing marriage to a woman. A Hartford, CT newspaper dubs her “a female Lothario” for living as a man. McCormick had taken on a male persona for two to three years and during this time had at least six courtships, three to whom she proposed and was accepted. One of these women, a dressmaker, even made her own wedding dress. According to The Transgender Foundation of America’s (TFA) Archive in Houston, Texas, social shame was used to force McCormick to conform to typical gender norms after McCormick was jailed.

1887 – On this date, playwright George Kelly (d.1974) was born in Philadelphia. Although better known as the uncle of the future Princess Grace of Monaco, Kelly was a successful Broadway playwright, screenwriter, director, and actor. Kelly won the Pulitzer Prize in 1925 for his play "Craig's Wife." The play served as the basis for the 1950 Joan Crawford film "Harriet Craig." Notable actors who appeared in works by Kelly include Alison Skipworth, Josephine Hull, Lee Tracy, Tallulah Bankhead, Spring Byington, Joan Blondell, Ina Claire and Rosalind Russell.

George maintained a fifty-five-year relationship with his lover William Weagley up until his death. Weagley was seemingly passed off often as George's valet. That Kelly was gay was a closely guarded secret and went unacknowledged by his family to the point of not inviting Weagley to his funeral;however, although Weagley was not invited, he managed to sneak inside and sat in a back pew, where he wept.

1921 – Fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo was born (d.2004). Best known for his work on the covers of Cosmopolitan Magazine and his celebrity portraits, Scavullo big break was working at Vogue magazine under well-known fashion photographers Cecil Beaton, John Rawlings, and Horst P. Horst. But the major turning point in his career came in 1965 when Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown hired him to help develop a new and sexier image for the magazine. With free rein to select the models, wardrobe, make-up, and hair styling, Scavullo successfully created the image of the modern day Cosmo girl.

Scavullo was also responsible for the famous Cosmopolitan centerfold of a nude Burt Reynolds. Scavullo would go on to shoot every Cosmopolitan cover over the next three decades. Beginning in 1972, he was assisted by Sean M. Byrne, who also became his life partner. Scavullo also created memorable shots for various movie posters and Broadway shows, including one for A Star is Born (featuring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson), as well as a portrait of Julie Andrews for Blake Edwards' . He was also popular throughout his career for his celebrity portraits with many becoming iconic pieces and symbols of pop culture. In 2004 Scavullo died of heart failure while on his way to a photo shoot with a then up-and-coming CNN news anchor, Anderson Cooper.

1933 – The American essayist, novelist, filmmaker, and activist Susan Sontag was born on this date (d.2004). Sontag was one of the most important public intellectuals of the last half of the twentieth century. Her published works include On Photography and Against Interpretation. Sontag wrote frequently about the intersection of high and low art and the form/content dichotomy across the arts. Her celebrated and widely-read 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp'" was epoch-defining, examining an alternative sensibility to that which considers the best art in terms of its seriousness. It gestured towards and expounded the "so bad it's good" concept of popular culture for the first time.

Sontag had committed relationships with photographer Annie Leibovitz, choreographer Lucinda Church, writer Maria Irene Fornes, and other women. In the early 1970s, she was romantically involved with Nicole Stephane, the Rothschild banking heiress turned movie actress.

Many of Sontag's obituaries failed to mention her significant same-sex relationships, most notably with photographer Leibovitz. In response to this criticism, The New York Times' Public Editor, Daniel Okrent, defended the newspaper's obituary, stating that at the time of Sontag's death, a reporter could make no independent verification of her romantic relationship with Leibovitz (despite attempts to do so). Okrent is only one in a long line of abettors to the erasure of Queer people's sexuality. Why do we state this? To believe the New York Times, you'd have to believe they had no access in 2004 to Google. You see, In an interview in The Guardian in 2000, Sontag was quite open about her bisexuality:

"Shall I tell you about getting older?", she says, and she is laughing. "When you get older, 45 plus, men stop fancying you. Or put it another way, the men I fancy don't fancy me. I want a young man. I love beauty. So what's new?" She says she has been in love seven times in her life, which seems quite a lot. "No, hang on," she says. "Actually, it's nine. Five women, four men."

1980 – Justin Johnson, known by his stage name Alyssa Edwards, is an American drag performer, choreographer, and businessperson. Johnson was known for competing in drag pageantry (notably Miss Gay America 2010) before rising to national prominence on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Johnson lives in Mesquite, Texas, where he owns and runs an award-winning studio, Beyond Belief Dance Company. Johnson and his dance studio are the centerpieces of a new web-series, "Haus of Edwards", which premiered in late 2017.

Johnson performs under the stage name Alyssa Edwards. He chose his name in homage to Alyssa Milano and to his drag mother Laken Edwards, a former drag queen. Johnson is part of the drag family "the Haus of Edwards" and serves as drag mother to fellow RuPaul's Drag Race contestants Shangela Laquifa Wadley, Laganja Estranja, and Gia Gunn. Johnson was one of the judges of the 2010 California Entertainer of the Year pageant, which Shangela won.

Johnson appeared in the 2008 documentary Pageant. The film focused on the 34th Miss Gay America pageant of 2006. On December 9, 2010, Johnson was stripped of his 2010 Miss Gay America title for having business dealings in conflict with obligations to the Miss Gay America organization. First alternate Coco Montrese replaced Johnson as the winner of Miss Gay America. That same year, Johnson was also stripped of his title as All American Goddess.

1993 – Jack Merridew is an American author and YouTube personality. He is well known for his light hearted storytime videos.

Merridew was born on January 16, 1993 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Parkland High School and Ithaca College with a degree in screenwriting.

Merridew began posting videos on YouTube in 2012, reaching one-hundred thousand subscribers by January 2015 and has since garnered more than 370,000 subscribers. Merridew posts videos pertaining to: the LGBT community, sexuality, and body positivity. From his success on YouTube, Merridew filmed a commercial for gay adult novelty website, adammale and has self-released two books: Fireworks Over Suburbia in 2012 and Teenage Idol in 2013. Prior to fame, Merridew worked as a cashier at Wegmans, a grocery store in Pennsylvania.

2008 – On this date Moroccan courts imprisoned 6 people for allegedly taking part in a gay wedding.

Unwittingly and without your consent, at any moment you could become social media’s main character of the day — not the good kind.

Such was the case for two people this week, when a woman posted several videos to TikTok of a man and a woman on a flight from Houston to New York City, claiming that they were having an affair and calling them out by name. (The videos have since been deleted.)

The man, she said in the videos, was wearing a wedding ring while the pair flirted and drank throughout the flight. She said they were talking loudly enough that she could hear their first names, which she included in the video’s caption. In the one video, she included an image of the pair’s empty seats. “They were making out and ended up in the bathroom,” she wrote in a caption. (...)

Dr. Duffy called this phenomenon “imagined surveillance,” the feeling that anything you do at any time, no matter how benign, could be recorded and used against you. “So many of the boundaries between personal and professional, between celebrity and ordinary have slipped away,” she said, noting that some users seemed to forget that the subjects of these videos were real people.

Madison Malone Kircher , from She Thought She Caught a Man Cheating, So She Posted on TikTok - A woman took a sneaky video of a man and woman on a plane, claiming that she was witnessing an extramarital affair, for the NYT, June 28, 2024.

I love it when u post art!!

thank you!! do you want to see some art that's in my house?

this is jenna and shauna. i have no idea who the artists, B. Lyons and M.H. Len are - if you recognize them let me know!! my guess is that this is probably folk/naive art. jenna, on the left, is from a roadside stand outside ardmore, oklahoma and shauna, right, is from a vintage streetwear streetfair (lol) in houston, texas. jenna doesn't hang right because she's haunted (affectionate)

possibly nsfw below

artist unknown, she's from my flaming heart in houston. this sinister young lady, tish, lives in the hallway where we keep all our cursed stuff

this one doesn't have a home yet - lizbeth lorenzo of la familia lorenzo

also in the cursed hallway, i have no information on who made this or what's going on here, i bought it from from the texas art asylum, an art supply/found objects shop. i guess it's dicks and stuff though.

honestly one of my most prized possessions. no idea who made it. bonus content of the spoon collection we inherited from my wife's grandmother 💖

this is my fanciest piece of art, probably, it's by mike egan. i wish i knew who painted the rock, i think we got it at an antique store. also apparently i need to dust

another one we haven't hung up (we're moving soon) by painter and beader natalie archuleta. we bought it at her shop in taos pueblo, new mexico

by t. bouch, an artist out of oklahoma city who doesn't have much web presence. my wife has had this since before we met! her dad briefly owned an art gallery and t. bouch exhibited there. We have a few more of his paintings and drawings in storage right now, sonetime after we move i will photograph them because they're great

my mother in law painted and framed this and gave it to us as a wedding present. it's barnabus collins from dark shadows. she's cool as hell

anyway uhhhh. i hope somebody enjoyed that! we have a lot of art packed up right now but someday, maybe, i'll make a part 2 ?????

Houston's Bridal Renaissance: Where Southern Charm Meets Cosmopolitan Style

The bridal scene in Houston has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, establishing the city as an unexpected fashion destination for brides seeking that perfect blend of Southern elegance and metropolitan sophistication. For those exploring options at a bridal boutique in Houston, the experience has evolved from simple shopping trips into immersive, personalized journeys that honor both tradition and innovation.

What distinguishes Houston's bridal landscape is its distinctive reflection of the city itself—diverse, ambitious, and unafraid to make a statement while maintaining deep connections to Southern hospitality and traditions. Wedding dresses in Houston increasingly capture this dynamic energy, offering everything from boldly reimagined classics to boundary-pushing contemporary designs.

The Evolution of Houston's Bridal Experience

As Houston has grown into a global city with influences from around the world, its bridal offerings have similarly developed a unique character. Today's bride seeking bridal gowns in Houston encounters an elevated experience that rivals what you might find in more traditionally fashion-forward cities, but with an approachable warmth that remains authentically Texan.

"Houston brides appreciate luxury and craftsmanship, but they also value versatility and personal expression," notes a consultant at Winnie Couture. "They're looking for gowns that make a statement while honoring their individual style and cultural backgrounds."

This understanding shapes how premier bridal salons in Houston approach their collections and customer experiences. At Winnie Couture, appointments are designed to be celebratory rather than transactional, honoring the emotional significance of finding the perfect wedding gown in Houston for your special day.

Distinctive Elements of Houston Bridal Fashion

Several key trends have emerged among Houston brides that reflect the city's distinctive character:

Statement Silhouettes: Bold, architectural shapes that command attention and photograph beautifully in Houston's diverse venues, from downtown lofts to expansive ranch properties.

Climate-Conscious Design: Thoughtful fabric selections and construction techniques that ensure comfort in Houston's warm climate while maintaining elegance and structure.

Cultural Fusion: Design elements that honor diverse cultural traditions while feeling thoroughly contemporary, reflecting Houston's international character.

Dimensional Detailing: Layered lace, textural embellishments, and unexpected fabric combinations that create visual interest and sophistication.

Indoor-Outdoor Versatility: Designs that transition seamlessly between formal ballroom ceremonies and garden celebrations, reflecting Houston's varied wedding venues and year-round outdoor options.

Navigating Houston's Bridal Options

For brides beginning their search for the perfect wedding dress in Houston, preparation enhances the experience considerably. The most successful appointments begin with research—considering venue requirements, seasonal considerations, and personal style preferences.

At premier bridal boutiques in Houston like Winnie Couture, consultants recommend bringing trusted advisors but limiting your entourage to ensure focused feedback. They also suggest bringing inspiration images while remaining open to unexpected possibilities, as many Houston brides find their perfect match differs from what they initially envisioned.

The Comprehensive Houston Bridal Experience

What truly elevates the experience at leading bridal salons in Houston is the comprehensive nature of the service. Beyond simply providing beautiful gowns, consultants function as style advisors and wedding confidants, helping brides navigate everything from silhouette selection to accessorizing.

At Winnie Couture, this approach extends to creating complete bridal looks that consider the specific characteristics of Houston's diverse venues and climate. The lighting in a historic church differs dramatically from a hotel ballroom or outdoor pavilion, and these considerations inform recommendations for fabric, structure, and detailing in bridal gowns. Houston consultants excel at helping brides envision how different designs will photograph against the city's distinctive urban and natural backdrops.

Creating Your Houston Bridal Moment

What's particularly special about Houston's bridal scene is how it honors the importance of "the moment"—that magical instant when a bride sees herself in the right dress and suddenly envisions her entire wedding day. Premier bridal salons create environments where these moments can happen organically, with thoughtful lighting, comfortable spaces for companions, and private areas for reflection.

This perspective is evident in the selections available at premier Houston wedding gown destinations, where collections include everything from reimagined classics to boundary-pushing contemporary designs. The common thread is quality and thoughtfulness—values that resonate deeply with Houston brides.

Making Your Appointment

For brides beginning their search for wedding gowns in Houston, scheduling an appointment at a premier bridal salon provides the dedicated attention and expertise this significant decision deserves. The experience becomes not just about finding a dress but about creating memories with loved ones and discovering a look that makes you feel authentically beautiful.

Whether drawn to timeless ballgowns, sleek modern silhouettes, or romantic A-line designs, Houston brides find that the city's premier destinations offer options for every style preference and venue requirement. As you prepare for this special shopping experience, remember that finding your wedding dress in Houston isn't just about the gown itself—it's about discovering how you want to feel on one of life's most meaningful days in a city that celebrates both tradition and bold personal expression.
