Roberts, JoAnn, LadyLike Magazine, 1990 to 1997 group of five issues, records transgender and crossdressing print culture during a decade when community periodicals carried fashion advice, personal testimony, political commentary, and practical survival information outside mainstream LGBTQ+ publishing. The archive belongs to the cultural sphere of independent transgender and crossdressing periodicals, illustrating how gender-nonconforming readers used print to share models of feminine presentation, negotiate disclosure, build social networks, and contest public stigma. JoAnn Roberts, founder of Creative Design Services, published LadyLike as part of a broader body of transgender community publishing that included crossdressing guides and related periodicals. LadyLike Magazine. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1990 to 1997. Five issues. Staple-bound in original pictorial wrappers. The group comprises Nos. 9, 10, 23, 26, and 31, with illustrated profiles, editorials, advice columns, fashion material, community resources, and articles on drag, impersonation, gender presentation, and transgender advocacy. [1] Roberts, JoAnn (ed.). LadyLike Magazine. No. 9. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1990. Features Bridget Nickels and Stella J., a retrospective on French female impersonators, wig-care guidance, and trans community resources. Roberts's editorial addresses censorship and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, placing beauty and presentation culture alongside political vulnerability. [2] Roberts, JoAnn (ed.). LadyLike Magazine. No. 10. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1991. Includes features on Jeri Jones and Marlayna Lacie, an article on international trans identities, and "A Wife's Tale." Roberts's discussion of job loss and disclosure ties the issue to employment precarity, family negotiation, and the risks attached to public gender variance. [3] Roberts, JoAnn (ed.). LadyLike Magazine. No. 23. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1995. Includes profiles of Lori Larkin and Nancy Ann Burdick and an essay by a trans twin on family and affection. Editorial discussion of the Transgender Community Alliance Pledge indicates growing inter-organizational advocacy within 1990s transgender community politics. [4] Roberts, JoAnn (ed.). LadyLike Magazine. No. 26. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1995. Highlights Gina Allen, identified in the issue as "our first African-American crossdresser," providing an important instance of Black visibility within a publication often centered on crossdressing femininity and presentation. Additional pieces including "The Unqualified Cheerleader" and "Flash Back" connect contemporary community life with drag history and cultural memory. [5] Roberts, JoAnn (ed.). LadyLike Magazine. No. 31. King of Prussia, PA: Creative Design Services, 1997. Features Frank Marino, "The TG Art of LeVaughn," and material on a LOLA Catalog photo shoot. Roberts's editorial, written in connection with the International Congress on Sex and Gender Issues, addresses public presentation and gender misrecognition. These issues provide evidence of 1990s transgender and crossdressing community formation before broad internet-based networking, preserving the language, visual codes, anxieties, humor, and mutual instruction of a print-based gender community. Pages clean and bindings firm; covers with light rubbing and faint creasing, chiefly at spine folds; interiors with mild toning; overall very good to near fine. A focused run of LadyLike documenting transgender and crossdressing cultural life, advocacy, and self-representation in late twentieth-century American independent publishing.…
