Lillian Starr: Pinup Girl is a portrait of Lillian Starr, a queer femme burlesque performer and star in Sydney’s burlesque scene. The portrait is a re-take of Robert Doisneau’s Pinups, Paris, 1952 which depicted a male docker/cabaret performer lying on his bed and gazing at pinups of women, which Doisneau described as “the parody of the masculine man”.
