A giant YES to the girls cross dressing!! I need to read These Old Shades.
I remember liking Pam Rosenthal's Almost a Gentleman for the cross-dressing, and Julia Ross' The Wicked Lover has it too, but I never finished that one because it annoyed me. And oh!!! Everyone has been watching the kdrama Coffee Prince which also has it and I am so excited because I will start watching it this weekend when I visit rilina! And someday I need to finish reading Hana Kimi. And the cross dressing is totally why I started watching the RxJ anime, despite my general dislike for the story (well, that and the FLYING CITY!).
I think the one thing that bugs me about cross-dressing is when the guy thinks he is attracted to another man OH NOES and is sooo relieved to find that he is not homosexual.
I am a total sucker for Rhett and Scarlett. Especially the bits about Rhett not letting himself show how much he loves her, despite the ensuing hinky gender politics. Not to mention the race stuff, of course...
I love books where the love does not work out! Unfortunately, it's so hard to find them... but that's one reason why I love Nana and Yazawa Ai in general so much.
