Swell MEL - Dressy JESSE

Swell MEL or Dressy JESSE is card 20a/20b from the first series. This card was also in Giant Series 1 (as card 20).

Description
The card shows a male character dressing in drag and looking in a mirror, with the stereotypical "limp wrist" often attributed to homosexual or effeminate men. He has a girly-looking pink vanity table, his closet holds an assortment of feminine attire, and he is sporting a hair bow.

Parodies/Represents
The card lampoons drag queens and cross-dressers. The closet in the background may be a nod to the expression “to be in the closet” or “to be closeted,” meaning that someone who is homosexual or transgendered or likes to cross-dress has not told anyone of his or her preferences
