The wigs were unmissable from the Fire Island Pines marina, bright pink dots on the horizon that grew larger as the ferry neared the dock. The vessel’s upper deck teemed with drag: magenta beehives, fantastic fascinators, white-gloved hands waving at the cheering crowd on shore. Keep Reading →

I scroll my social feeds on a lazy Saturday afternoon and stumble across a video of a “Chicano mailman” (his words, not mine) walking through a neighborhood in the scorching summer sun. His décolletage, framed by the baby blue USPS button-up, glistens with sweat. It’s hot. So I tap on his profile, which leads me to a link in bio, which leads me to … well, you know. In less than a minute, I’ve leapt from the innocence of blue-collar TikTok to the OnlyFans home page of “an honest mailman trying to support his wife and two kids,” where he’ll show me “the package I’ve really been waiting for” if I cough up $14 and subscribe.

Law Roach is so booked and busy, he must have the power to bend space and time. The celebrity stylist and self-described “image architect” is constantly adding to his résumé and A-list clientele. This year at the Met Gala alone, he dressed six luminaries — Zendaya, Jeremy Pope, Angela Bassett, Cardi B, André 3000, and Tyla — and consulted on styling choices for the Burberry table at the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. On top of his stylist work, Roach has made a name in the television world as a judge on reality show competitions like RuPaul’s Drag Race and HBO’s ballroom show, Legendary. As if he’s not busy enough, the celebrity stylist was announced as a judge on season 21 of Project Runway, which is set to premiere July 31 on Disney+, Freeform, and Hulu. Keep Reading →

It’s been nearly 10 years since Nyle DiMarco made history by becoming the first Deaf contestant to ever win two major competition reality shows back to back. First was America’s Next Top Model in 2015, and just five months later, he strutted his stuff on Dancing With the Stars season 22, eventually taking home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. Since then, he’s published a New York Times best-selling memoir and attached his name to a variety of film projects as an executive producer, including Audible, a Netflix documentary that earned an Oscar nomination.
