Single sheet, 5 ½ by 4 inches. Pink paper stock. Promo for Dragstrip 66, a LGBTQ+ club founded in 1993, and known for its embrace of the alternative and punk scene, as well as drag. Founded by Paul Vitagliano and his friend Mr. Dan, the bar focused on drag when it was still an outlier even within the gay community. Part of their strategy was to adopt an underground, punk edge to drag, where everything from booger drag to its glamorous counterparts, were welcome. The club closed in 2013 and reopened again in 2023. (see LA ist online article for previous history and information). An advertisement for an S&M Valentine's Ball, suggesting people, "Butch it up, sweethearts, with any leather, latex or bondage gear!" Reverse of the leaflet advertises the Plush Life, "LA's Only Weekly Sitcom, Serial, Soap Opera!" NEAR FINE with light edgewear.
