possibly the hottest picture ever taken

this is a photo from coilhouse #5, the newest issue (featuring an interview with me & himself):

by allan amato…i like the band-aid best of all.

the mag/zine is a fabulous homespun operation, run by a small handful of rad folks including my friend meredith yayanos (who also often plays violin with me & the dolls). btw, they’re also on twitter & facebook if you’re feeling frisky and wanna keep tabs.

there’s an unbelievable line-up in this issue….zoë keating, clive barker, wil wheaton, ali madhavi, chinese pulp, the new york burlesque scene & morrrre.
it’s now actually SOLD OUT via http://coilhouse.net/magazine/ but you can get a taste there of what to expect, then be sure to run out to barnes & noble, borders, and/or select INDIE shops. most of them still have a copy or two…for now.

here’s the cover, to help you spot it quick amidst the rush:

we did the interview in new zealand on one of the worst days in the world (we were kind of crushed)

and

we did the shoot with allan amato in new york on one of the best days in the world, the day after we announced our engagement (we were kind of high).
