LUNA LA SIRENA: BECOMING THE SIREN
Luna La Sirena is a 24-year-old artist from San Francisco who’s carved out a life in New York rooted in creativity, community, and transformation. Raised in a family of visual artists, she found her way through self-expression early on, but it was drag that first showed her how beautiful and alive she felt living as a woman. From nightlife beginnings at Paragon to a pivotal return behind the camera, Luna has used art to find her rhythm again and again. Her recent photo series, born after gender-affirming surgery, blends fantasy and rage into a powerful celebration of becoming — raw, sultry, and fully embodied. Whether she’s behind the lens or in front of a crowd, Luna reminds us that real artistry lives in the in-between, where self-discovery meets collective care. Her work isn’t about the scene, it’s about the soul, and in a world that doesn’t always see us, Luna creates space where being fully seen becomes possible.
BRANDON LIGONS IS THE ROSE BEHIND THE THORNS
Sitting down with Brandon felt like ringing up an old girlfriend to spill the tea and trade all the hot new beauty secrets. I've had the pleasure of keeping up with Brandon’s journey for the past few years now, and every new era of evolution feels like a reignited flame of inspiration and glamour. Originally from South Carolina, this New York-based insta-baddie is not only a model, content creator, entrepreneur, and beauty aficionado whose effortless blend of glitz and glam has carved out a unique space for themselves in the bustle of the Big Apple, but their presence online has become a bold declaration—a call for anyone to embrace authenticity without limits and self-expression without apology. With the help of their favorite kardashian-esque nudey lipstick, their signature clean cut bob with a curl in front, and their soulmate, boyfriend, and go to camera-man, Raul Ricardo, we peel back the covers and really get to know who Brandon Ligons is off camera, and what they have in store for us in 2025.
