Tony the Tiger aka Tony the Hustler & Cherie Greene aka Cherie the Penguin, LA first wave punk couple visiting San Francisco punk temple Mabuhay Gardens in Jan. 1978, as captured by SF street photographer Greg Gaar & found on The Fab Mab FB group.

From the few bits & pieces I managed to trace on the internet about those early LA punk scenesters & sexual adventurers, I found Tony mentioned as a ‘gay-for-pay male hustler’ and Cherie remembered as 'the gregarious dominatrix singer of the band Butch’ according to Kid Congo’s ‘Some New Kind Of Kick’ memoir. Another post on Cherie, this time by Doug Fitzsimmons on his @punk_diversity IG account, provides some more enlightening backstory after a talk he had with her, such as her relationship & marriage to Tony and the incident that earned her her nickname from the tux and tails she was wearing the night she crashed a party at Wilton Hilton, the infamous ramshackle Craftsman duplex/ Screamers then-headquarters, where the best parties were supposedly held, fueled by acid, sex and… ghosts.
