𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦, 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳, 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘻𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 by Madame d’Ora, November, 1926. Interestingly, this photo was taken roughly four years before Marlene Dietrich’s rise to fame after the success of 𝘋𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 (1930), striking a similar pose while singing her signature song “Ich Bin von Kopf bis Fuß Auf Liebe eingestellt”. . . . . . . #marlenedietrich #barbette #theblueangel #deeblaueengel #femaleimpersonator #lgbtqhistory #madamedora #1920sphotography #queerphotography #1920squeer #draghistory #dragqueen #historyofdrag #ichbinvonkopfbisfussaufliebeeingestellt #fallinginloveagain #berlincabaret

Marlene Dietrich and Dorothea Wieck posing for Paramount’s publicity department, 1933. After the success of “Maedchen in Uniform” (1931), a German film with a central lesbian romance, Paramount signed Wieck to a three picture contract. Hearing of Wieck’s arrival to Hollywood, Dietrich met with her in the Paramount commissary dressed in a men’s suit and tie. The queer implication of Dietrich’s look did not endear either actress to Paramount and soon after, Wieck was on her way back to Germany. (Director Rouben Mamoulian, with which whom Dietrich was making “Song of Songs” (1933), poses with the two stars in the third image). . . . . . #marlenedietrich #dorotheawieck #maedcheninuniform #theblueangel #lgbtqhistory #queerstyle #paramountstudios #oldhollywoodstyle #womeninsuits #oldhollywood #roubenmamoulian #1930sfashion #songofsongs
