Cooper appears on the cover of The Drag King Book, a famous image by Mr. Del LaGrace Volcano that has turned up in all sorts of weird places, such as Strange Universe, and Sex and the City (sorry Sarah, that ain�t a sock!) Cooper has appeared on the Maury Povich Show, and was the lead actor in The Ride, a film by trans filmmaker Bill Basquin which won a Golden Gate Award at the 2001 San Francisco International Film Festival. Cooper was recently published in the anthology Lowdown Highway, from Junkyard Books, and will appear in the forthcoming trans anthology on Manic D Press edited by Morty Diamond. Cooper pays the rent by working construction, painting houses, welding, and as a union stagehand and set builder.
Len PlassLen Plass grew from a sprout indifferent areas of Connecticut. She moved to Massachusetts in 1996 and, for a brief stint, attended Boston's Emerson College where she began performing spoken word. She then moved west, eventually to San Francisco where she owned and ran the Bearded Lady Cafe from 1999 until its closing in 2001. That same year, she co-founded Junkyard Books and is published in their debut anthology, Lowdown Highway. She has performed at many events in and around the Bay Area, including Girlfest by Shane Star Productions, Sister Spit and a benefit for the Nectar Stage at the SF Gay Pride Festival. Len Plass writes ragged, self-loathing tales about every tired, worn-out kind of heartbreak. She has no formal training as a writer and holds true to that standard.
