c86: Photography by Geoffrey Biddle, Harvard, 1969-70When I was choosing the rowing photos for this website, I also came across pictures from the following year, of students getting ready for the Hasty Pudding Club Review, an annual drag theatrical that has been going on since 1844. Another friend was in that show, and again I got permission to photograph. I am struck by the homoeroticism of the rowing and theater pictures: nearly naked men, wet and sculpted, then men making themselves beautiful by putting on makeup and false eyelashes. They remind me that campus gay life was underground—it was years before the Gay Liberation Movement -- source link
