Join us for a vibrant Trans Day of Visibility Festival at Boeddeker Park in the heart of the Tenderloin and The Transgender District, March 29th 2026. Expect sickening performances, powerful vocals, community vibes.
Clothing that bears the name of a city near or far has become a closet staple for many consumers in recent years, evolving from impulse purchases to mainstream fashion.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's annual Easter in the Park returns to Mission Dolores Park on Sunday, April 5, with the full sacrament: drag performances, live music, the Easter Bonnet contest, Foxy Mary, and the Hunky Jesus competition that gives the whole thing its name. Sister Roma, Peaches Christ, and Honey Mahogany are hosting.
According to Mary Duh, a Physician Assistant in Dermatology at Mayo Clinic Health System, 'Makeup can be infected with bacteria after only one use.' Every time we reapply that favorite lipstick or dip back into our foundation, we're potentially spreading bacteria all over our faces. By avoiding foundation and blush, the skin is allowed to return to its natural oil balance and hydration.
Microsphere powder is the magic behind that effect - it not only makes the formula feel silkier and easier to blend, but also gives it that signature powder dry down, diffusing light and making everything look airbrushed.
Hope y'all are bringing your appetite this April, he writes. @GuyFieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse is bringing more artist cooking demos and the best pitmasters around, so yeah this party's gonna be tasty.
A dark gel base creates depth, layered with a silver cat-eye polish that's magnetized so the shimmer pools toward the center like a glowing orb. On top, an iridescent chrome powder creates that signature color shift. Of course, none of these techniques are new - chrome powders and cat-eye gels have both been trending on their own recently - but paired together, they deliver a nail design that feels surprisingly fresh.
Like those, it scours our culture's incessant preoccupation with physical beauty, both the lusting for it and the lengths we will go to get and keep it. But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.
We've asked Queerty readers about their preferences when it comes to speedos, jockstraps, thongs and all sorts of scantily clad attire. So this week, in honor of Valentine's Day, we thought we would put it all together. It's time to dress to impress! For some, that means donning a sleek suit or formal wear (we love a man in a tie). Others may feel their most sultry when they're wearing itty-bitty swimwear or short shorts.
"First, a sweaty workout with free weights, followed by sit-ups. Then: a tight pair of faded blue jeans and nothing else. Shirtless, barefoot, commando. I'm twitching already..." - Roger in Palm Springs Oh, we love a man in uniform! We've long covered the pheromone-induced allure of post-workout hookups, which usually involves steamy locker room scenes. But with his tight, faded blue jeans, it seems like Roger takes his act onto the streets, in the hot desert sun. Help, we're parched!
With Super Bowl 60 coming up Sunday, hunky football jocks are taking center stage. With players urged to "pound the end zone" and "penetrate the defense," the tradition of homoeroticism runs deep on the gridiron. And we're not even talking about the congratulatory bum slapping, or what these modern day gladiators are wearing under their gear. Previously reserved for sports, jockstraps entered the gay conscious in the mid-20th century. They first appeared in Tom of Finland drawings and adult magazines.
Every micro-trend is swiftly dubbed ("Italian summer nails" or some such), and the most elaborate looks are often confined to the wearer's own home - all dolled up and nowhere to go. But before some of today's beauty influencers were born (the late '80s and '90s, let's say), full beats were meant to be flaunted in public. In those years, no group burned brighter than the club kids, whose visual rebellion through makeup signaled a sense of freedom against the somber backdrop of the AIDS epidemic.
The appointment of Roan all grunge glitters, colourful face jewels and clumpy mascara celebrates the experimental, edgy and playful Mac aesthetic, and signals what may be the end of what industry figures often describe as the beige buffet of post-Covid fashion and beauty. Oh, the relief in seeing the back of all-over camel, in enjoying makeup textures other than perfectly smooth and glassy, the joy in a glinty eyelid or gemstone applied haphazardly and for no other reason but fun.
On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972. Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Because there are so many versions of the doll - think a Fenty-level range of skin tones - it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them.
Take, for instance, the grunge-y eyeliner at both Marc Jacobs and Ashlyn, where dramatic black waterlines added '90s-inspired edge. Or the voluminous hairstyles at Collina Strada and Ralph Lauren, both of which embraced the "undone" beauty movement. Many runways have also leaned into a lived-in look for hair and glam - a welcome aesthetic for cool girls and makeup novices alike.
Looking more put-together doesn't always come down to big purchases or dramatic changes. More often, it's the small upgrades that quietly do the heavy lifting - a better beauty tool, an impactful accessory, or one product that makes everything else work harder. This list is full of affordable finds that look and feel a little bougie, even though they're surprisingly cheap. Each one earns its spot by making you look more polished, more pulled together, or just slightly more expensive than you actually are.
