genderfucking at its finest
I truly regret that Andrej Pejic doesn’t have facial hair. Jack Shaw, as we see on this photo has a two-day stubble, which gives a lovely mindfuck, when you realize the girl you’re looking at is not actually female. Love it.

Handwritten on verso:
“Ella Harper Age 13. Born in Hendersonville, Tenn. I am called the Camel Girl because as you see that my knees turn backwards. I can walk the best on my hands & feet as you see me in this picture. I have traveled considerably in the Show business for the last 4 years. And now as this is 1886, I now intend to quit the Show business and go to school and fit my self for some other occupation.”
