Drag Memorabilia: Club 82

Bilerico Nov 01 09

Bilerico readers are the best!

I posted a vintage shot of Finocchio's recently and was delighted by all the background history you provided. I do exhaustive image searches for everything and anything related to sexual history but don't have the time to research everything I find. So please keep feel free to fill me in because sometimes I have no idea about the real histories behind what I discover.

For example: A 1950s postcard from Club 82 in New York City. Any ideas about who these lovely people are or background on this venue? Postcard front and back after the jump. Full story...
