Tonight Amos Mac and Rocco Kayiatos, your local purveyors of fine female-to-male transsexual culture, unleash the fifth issue of their FTM lifestyle magazine on San Francisco. Original Plumbing, a rag truly devoted to the many-splendored Technicolor dreamcoat of gender experiences within our human race, explores the realm of fashion through the transsexual lens. Included in the issue are interviews with San Francisco aesthetic fabulist Jess Cuevas, owner of The Seventh Heart, and an interview with San Francisco transplant (now a resident of New York City) and menswear designer for SIR NY, Auston Bjorkman. At the Original Plumbing Fashion Party, roll in on a red carpet, get your photo taken by Original Plumbing editor-in-chief Amos Mac, then move along to dance it out with DJs Rapid Fire (Stay Gold) and the excellent 100 Spokes (B.I.G. Crew). Plan to peak at midnight with a fashion show featuring t-shirts designed by Mr. Cuevas (and if you’ve been to his shop, you know this is artistry far beyond the usual in this medium) and lots of hot trans dudes. Come to ogle, preen, and scoop up a copy of this continually groundbreaking magazine.
