Mary's Fairies

For many of the photos I do not know who the folks are, so I need help. If you can ID any please let me know, Thanks.

Mary's Fairies
Late 80s/Early 90s Photos

Scott Swoveland donated this treasure stash of photos to my archives,
about 150, and I am glad to share them. Here's how I got them.

And I decided to call this section Mary's Fairies, in honor of those arrested
in the famous raid on Mary's in June 1980. Andy Mills, an early manager of
the bar, is shown wearing a "Mary's Fairy Out of Jail" shirt.

It was difficult to decide how to arrange these photos....but as some had the same people in common, I at least started that way....
with Bruce Herling, aka Brucella DeVall, whose drag last name was spelled a variety of ways

Remember, these are VERY casual photos....
and, sadly, the ones with links to their names are for their obituaries

above, Brucella with Rita Charles (in back) at the Chutes DJ Booth
(Chutes was open from Jan 1986 until July 1990)

Below, The Cheerleaders at Follyball, perhaps 1991
