She was the one who followed him from the very beginning of Idol. Anyway, good for him trying to continue the glam tradition.

Do you know if there is a lot of literature out there written on this subject?

I actually think my Mom acquired her taste for things like this through me. :) Kind of interesting. But, yeah, she is a huge Lambert fan! Yay Mom! 8)
And, I like him too - definitely.

Hmmm, I'll have to think about it... but I can think of lots of images (old photos, old painted portraits, etc.) where this old tradition is prominent. Tomorrow when I'm at work I'll post some more examples. Actually, having the museum's image database will be helpful for this.
And, it truly is an upperclass/ upper-middleclass tradition... and not at all counter-culture.

I tried to find a photo of Vincent Cassel as the Duc d'Anjou wearing a dress in the movie Elizabeth, but haven't found one yet.
