The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Male Impersonator Costume from the English Music Halls
Worn by Miss Hetty King, 1910

Detailed close-up of the costume

Less detailed image showing the whole sheet music cover for I've Got the Time, I've Got the Place---But It's Hard to Find the Girl, 1910

Lyrics to the Chorus of:
"I've Got The Time-, I've Got The Place-"
(But It's Hard To Find The Girl)

I've got the time-. I've got the place-.
Will someone kindly introduce me to the girl;
She needn't be so very pretty
I don't care much for a face.
And I don't give a jot if her petticoats
And things are trimmed with lace;
She may be tall-, she may be small-,
She---may be any-any-any-kind at all,
Gee! Ain't it mighty---funny,
When a fellow's got the money,
And the time-, and the place-,
But it's gosh darn hard to find the girl.

Sheet Music for
"I've Got The Time-,
I've Got The Place-"
