Katastrophic eating

I recently had the opportunity to do a story on Amos Mac, one of the creators of Original Plumbing, a trans male quarterly. Amos and his friend Rocco Kayiatos are the core of the magazine’s editorial team. But like Amos — who also does photography and art publications — Kayiatos has his own side projects.

Amos and Rocco recently collaborated on a video together, for Katastrophe’s latest single, “Eat Everything,” which features Margaret Cho, De=MC2 and Athens Boys Choir.

Check it out.
