About Boulton and Park
Thomas Ernest Boulton and Frederick William Park, otherwise known as Stella and Fanny respectively, were Victorian cross-dressers. Both were homosexual men from upper-middle-class families, both enjoyed wearing women's clothes and both enjoyed taking part in theatrical performances—playing the women's roles when they did so. It is possible that they asked for money for sex, although there is some dispute over this. In the late 1860s Boulton was in a relationship with Lord Arthur Clinton, the Liberal Party Member of Parliament for Newark; Boulton called himself Clinton's wife, and had cards printed showing his name as Lady Arthur Clinton. Clinton joined Boulton on a theatrical tour, playing male roles opposite Boulton.
