Divine plays Lexington

One of our favorite new artifacts! This ticket to see Divine perform at Lexington's Cafe LMNOP in 1986 was given to us by its original owner during Trippin' Thru The Dew, our October fundraiser. Divine played Lexington several times in the 1980s while at the height of her fame. Mostly eschewing small cities, Divine was lured to Lexington by its reputation for queer decadence and her friendship with club manager, Bradley Picklesimer.
