Google recently announced a new news archive search, which allows you to search and read articles from a load of publications going back 100 years or more. So what was the first thing I should search for? I thought of maybe trying to find some articles about early computers, or something that happened on the day I was born, but I decided to go with transvestites :)

The oldest story I could find was from 1929, about an army captain who turned out to be a female to male TS/TV. I can't believe how progressive the whole article reads, perhaps thats a compliment to Time Magazine? My favorite line though has to be "He ascribed his difficulty in throwing the ball to War wounds". I wish I could have gotten away with that excuse at school! Another interesting one was referring to prisoners as "1,000 male and female Britons, most of whose vocabularies do not even yet contain the noun transvestite, the verb transvestize, the adjective transvestile, the adverb transvestily." It doesn't make clear why he was jailed, other than "contempt of court".

Hi Jess, I'm not able to see any pix of you in the gallery... it wouldn't load, something going wrong with the template of page.
Can you fix it?
You are lovely...
Kiss

Hi Jessica

Absolutely love your site, but i'm also having problems viewing your pics. Please fix asap as I'd love to see more of you. Speaking of which, love the strip poker - so amusing and frustrating at the same time - I will win ... eventually, maybe?
