FEATURING The Moon and The Stars:

Sarah Fran Wisby is the author of the heart’s progress and VIVA LOSS. She writes poetry, fiction, pornography, plays, and status updates, preferring to deepen and subvert genre by way of the hybrid form. She lives in San Francisco and works in the food trenches, but is about to live out of her car for three months on tour. Check out more pictures of her wearing fur and read her woefully outdated blog at www.sarahfranwisby.com.

Monique Jenkinson – FAUXNIQUE – is a multifaceted artist whose work places itself in the gaps between dance, theater, drag and performance art. She has created and performed internationally and locally at ODC Theater, CounterPULSE, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the de Young Museum, and Trannyshack in San Francisco; the New Museum, Judson Church, Danspace Project, Howl Festival and the legendary Stonewall in New York; the Met Theatre in Los Angeles; the New Orleans Fringe Festival; the Coachella Festival; and in Reykjavik, Amsterdam, Edinburgh and London. Monique’s drag queen alter ego, Fauxnique, a prolific fixture on the experimental performance scene, made history as the first woman to win San Francisco’s infamous Miss Trannyshack Pageant and was named ‘Best Drag Act’ (2009) in the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s Best of the Bay Readers’ Poll. She also appears in the documentary Filthy Gorgeous: the Trannyshack Story and the April/May ’08 issue of Bust magazine.
