Just a little update for y'all. Out posted its Trans Issue interview with actress Tilda Swinton, as well as some more David Armstrong shots.

Also, Out Editor In Chief Aaron Hicklin informs us that Trans Issue guest editor T Cooper signed on for a bimonthly column in the gay glossy.

He'll switch off with long-time staffer Jesse Archer.

The kids over at Out get in touch with their trans side this month.

Guest editor T Cooper what seems to be a pretty well-rounded, informative and poppy issue. This display - adorned by David Armstrong shot Tilda Swinton cover - ain't a sing-song calls for activism, but a closer look at the trans subculture's ins, outs and in-betweens. (See a larger version of the cover at the end of this post.)

Cooper did well with the magazine's trans-limited, admittedly "clumsy" staffers. For example, they've of ten "essential" trans titles, while Candis Cayne talks about trans life in the spotlight and Cooper himself takes a look at NYC's trans fags, including a boy whose biological origins got him booted from popular hook-up site, Adam4Adam.

Tilda Swinton is an avant garde fashion muse, an actress too cool for the A-list, and newest gay icon on the block. The NY Times Style Magazine,T, put the 44 year old on the cover of the women's fashion issue this past weekend and in doing so solidified her status as one of this generation's greatest chameleons alongside Bjork and Madonna.

Her movie roles have been as unique as the actress herself. She played a man in Orlando, a troubled mother of a homosexual son in The Deep End, and is about to play the white witch in the Chronicles of Narnia.

She plays the role of muse with equal intensity and has been saluted by Viktor and Rolf, Hussein Chalayan, and Stefano Pilati. The NYT's photo-shoot, shot by Raymond Meier, captures her versatility and wonder perfectly.
