Hi everyone! The campaign to expand Original Plumbing Online has been incredible so far. We have 12 days left, and Rocco and I made this video to tell you about the new perks. We also talk kind of robotic at times. If you have ever benefited from OP’s existence, now is your chance to give back if you have the resources. Even a $1 or a reblog helps! LOVE.

PERKS INCLUDE: The entire SET of Original Plumbing Magazine issues 1 through 10 / Psychic reading by a celeb / Out of print art books, DVDs and books by queer icons / A month of streaming (ahem) video from Crash Pad, Courtney Trouble, James Darling / Collectable photo prints /  TOTE BAGS, T-SHIRTS, CREEPY STICKERS, DINNER DATES, MORE!

Hi everyone! I just released a set of three 5”x7” photographs available only through this fundraising campaign. If you donate to the cause and choose the Photo Fan perk, I’ll send them out to you once the campaign is complete!

These photos feature Juliana Huxtable Ladosha, Rocco Katastrophe and Athens Boys Choir. Edition of 100, signed and numbered. xo - Amos

Since 2009 I’ve been editor/publisher of the quarterly print magazine, Original Plumbing, with my best friend Rocco Katastrophe. In the past 2 years our online component has grown too large for its current home! As we expand our online community with a complete website redesign and relaunch, we need your help. Check out our video here!

FASHION OUTTAKE: Rocco (and our anonymous child dressed like a juggalo) model the new “Stealth” ORIGINAL snapbacks! We sold out of the first edition so quickly we decided to make this updated version.
