I know it's nice to dream, and I don't want to pop anybody's bubble, but in the 1880s center-parted hair meant it was probably a girl. (Often the person posting these photos just guesses based on facial features -- and is wrong about 50% of the time.  On the other hand they're right about 50% of the time, too :-) )

Had to get a closer look.

Judging from the homes, yards, & window styles, plus no rooftop antennas, so they have cable, this is probably not too old vintage. Maybe 1970s or 80s suburbia?

Thanks for the pics andy, I remember seeing some of him as a girl awhile back. It seems that boys played girl parts quite often back in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Well I guess it never really stopped if you think about it.

Hi Angela,

I posted pictures of Jackie dressed as a girl before, at least one of the ones I just posted, as well as some from Circus Days which was based on Toby Tyler and also made as Peck's Bad Boy with the Circus with Tommy Kelly. It's where the character Jackie and Tommy both played dress as the girl trick rider when she is injured and can't perform. Another version of Toby Tyler was made in 1960 with Kevin Corcoran, he of Moochie and the Little League fame, but Kevin didn't do a drag turn in that version. A Boy of Flanders was also remade as A Dog of Flanders in 1960 with David Ladd, son of the actor Alan Ladd, and, alas, no dresses for David either.

Yes andy. I remember seeing those movies when I was young and wanting to take the girl riders place myself, just to wear the Tutu outfit. I had only ever riden a horse once at that age when I went to a Carnival but I was convinced I could do it. It was a few years later that I got to stand in for a sick girl in an Ice Skating show. I loved every minute of it and got to keep the Leotard and all the coloured tights I had to wear for the costume changes. Believe it or not I still have some of them in a storage container but of course they are too small now and the elastic has long since rotted away.

Hi,

Not sure why Buster is dressed in girl's clothes but they certainly suit him and he looks cute.
