In “Stranger Visions,” artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg collected stray hairs, gum and tossed cigarettes from strangers all around New York to create detailed masks of what these people might look like.
She extracted genetic material from these traces and used forensic software to create 3D-printed, life-size portraits of the anonymous individuals based solely on their genetic data. The project highlighted the rising power of DNA phenotyping and warned of a future where personal identity could be reconstructed without consent.
That future came quickly: Just two years later, companies like Parabon NanoLabs began offering DNA “snapshots” to law enforcement, raising ethical concerns about surveillance, bias, and racial profiling — issues Dewey-Hagborg continues to address in her work.

While celebrity look-alike contests featuring the likes of Timothée and Harry Styles have taken the spotlight, the year’s greatest hero—the enigmatic Robin Hood of NYC who ended UnitedHealthcare’s CEO—has inspired a celebration of his own. Despite his image being endlessly shared on social media, his true identity has yet to be uncovered. Whoopsies!
Basically if you own a hoodie and backpack and have a smile like Anne Hathaway, then the KILLER could be you! Check out more from the NYC lookalike contest above!
You know Hoda was half-drunk Hoda and living for this!
Kylie was ThanksGIVING the gays what they wanted at the Macy’s Thanksgivign Day Parade yesterday, dressed up in shades of cranberry and her Kylie emblem looking like a Pagan star! (Time to go off, conspiracy Christian Yotuubers). Check out the full medley of Padam and CGYOOMH above!

The Continental Baths was a gay bathhouse in the basement of The Ansonia Hotel in New York City, which was operated from 1968 to 1976 by Steve Ostrow. It was advertised as reminiscent of “the glory of ancient Rome”.
Saturday evening performances attracted both an LGBTQ+ and straight audience with attendees fully dressed for a Saturday night adjacent to men clad in towels. Some attendees included Bob Fosse, Alfred Hitchcock, Mick Jagger, Rudolf Nureyev, Francesco Scavullo, Liz Smith, Valentino, and Andy Warhol.
Because of her memorable and adored performances at the baths, Bette Midler earned the nickname Bathhouse Betty! It was at the Continental, accompanied by pianist Barry Manilow, that she created her stage persona ‘The Divine Miss M’.
Now that we are living in the age of PrEP and Doxy, could we soon see a day when we return to wade in the pools free of stigma, socialize and see artists like Bette perform as they breakout?
