Birthday Card to Vicki Marlane from Grizzilla

Birthday card from Grizzilla to Vicki, with photo of Grizzilla in blue costume. The message reads, "Put on your Party Hat and have a great Birthday! Much Love XOXO Jon AKA Grizzilla." Vicki Marlane (1934-2011) was a legendary San Francisco drag queen and transgender woman. Marlane had a long career; starting in the 1950s, she performed as a female impersonator, stripper, and carnival sideshow performer, and she continued to perform in drag almost until her death in 2011. In her last decades, Marlane led the Hot Boxx Girls, the in-house drag troupe at Aunt Charlie's Lounge. This item comes from the Felicia "Flames" Elizondo Papers at the GLBT Historical Society.
