Title:

[Eldon L. Allison portraits of Jerome Caja]

Creator/Contributor:

Allison, Eldon L., creator, photographer.

Abstract:

Portraits of San Francisco artist and drag performer Jerome Caja, taken by Eldon L. Allison during Gay Pride Parade festivities, in 1990 or 1991. One image depicts Caja in leopard skin lingerie, sprawled on a bench, perhaps on Market Street, next to an unidentified man in a pink jumpsuit, with a crowd of parade attendees in the background. The other image is close-up of Caja's face, taken on the same occasion. Someone acquainted with Jerome identifies these as his "Konnie Krishna" outfit, with orange cape and a sausage necklace, at Gay Pride 1990.
