PHOTOS: Presidents in Drag

By Josh Middleton· 2/16/2015, 8:00 a.m.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found our first ladies to be infinitely more interesting than their fuddy-duddy ol’ husbands. But is there a First Ladies’ Day? Nooooo. So, in the spirit of compromise, I’m sharing this hilarious gallery of presidents superimposed onto photos of their wives, and, in some cases, a few other feminine figures of their time, created by artist Elizabeth Wilding Murphy. Have fun!
