STORY: CATHY CAMPER

PARTY GIRL PICS: MISS KIRBY

WHEN I LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO MY ROOMMATE AND I DECIDED TO HAVE A GARAGE SALE.

YEAH, I GOT A LOTTA CLOTHES I WANNA GET RID OF...

BUT CATH, I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU'RE WEARING!

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I'M WEARING?

LUCKILY, THERE WERE DRAG QUEENS.

OH GIRL,

THAT IS

YOU

BUT NO ONE WALKED BY OUR PLACE ON NEW HAMPSHIRE, So WE PILED ALL OUR JUNK IN A CAB AND TOOK IT TO A VACANT LOT ON THE CASTRO. PARKING EVER

LOOK AT

IT ALL!

IT'S FABULOUS.

WE'LL BE RICH

ONE GUY IN PARTICULAR LOVED MY CLOTHES. HE BOUGHT MY METALLIC PAISLEY MINI SKIRT AND SOME OTHER PARTY DRESSES I'D OUTGROWN. HE TOLD ME SOMEDAY SOON. HE WAS CHANGING INTO A WOMAN.

IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE EITHER "MADISON" OR "LIVONIA"

PIXIE

DUST

I VOTE FOR "MADISON": I GREW UP THERE. IT'S A GOOD

NAME!

by Robert Kirby

UNFORTUNATELY, THE CASTRO WAS ALL BOYS AND ALL OUR STUFF WAS FOR GIRLS.

I THINK WE GOOFED.

YEAH..

BUT PART OF ME LIVES ON IN THE WARDROBE OF MADISON OR LIVONIA.
