A young Victoria Fernandez and a companion posing with a car in front of the Brown Derby restaurant in Los Angeles. Victoria Fernandez, who performed as Vicki Starr, was a Puerto Rican trans woman best known for dancing in San Francisco's topless clubs during the 1960s. Her collection tells the story of how she used photography to express her gender and personality from the 1950s to the 1980s, from photobooth strips to Polaroids, often showing her with lovers and friends from queer community.
