This week we’re planning our tour and reflecting on years of photo shoot disasters. From blurry “art” edits to glam teams with too many ideas and not enough taste.

We talk photographers who ghosted us, shoots that never came out, and what it’s like seeing your face printed in a book… that you didn’t approve. Plus: the fish truck couture shoot, copyright chaos, and a Grindr run-in that started with a car crash.

We’ve partnered with Virgin Hotels to create a special Pride cocktail menu available at select locations all summer long! A portion of proceeds from every drink goes directly to Trans Lifeline, a peer-led organization offering life-saving support. virginhotels.com/pride
