We dove straight into the Alien universe this year. Mike has always been obsessed with the franchise and the Xenomorphs, so when he asked to become one, there was a tiny condition… I had to suit up as Ellen Ripley.

So I built the alien pod, pulled together Ripley’s look, and yes… Newt came along too. Hours of crafting, sewing, painting, and pure movie-fan dedication.

Seeing Mike fully transformed was everything. This one was for him, and honestly, I think it might be his best Halloween ever.

Happy Halloween, crew. Remember: stay alert, trust no one, and keep Newt safe.

💥 I really believe in hyping your friends the way you hype yourself. Because I know, as an artist, every time I share my music, step on stage, or post something online, I’m hoping someone out there will lift it up too. That’s why, when my friends are creating, I make it a point to show up and show out. I don’t just want them to feel supported — I want them to feel seen. Their art, their talent, their work matters to me just as much as my own, and I’ll celebrate it every chance I get. 🌙🎶 #gingerladd #hypeyourfriends

Kate Clark’s pieces are nothing short of extraordinary. Her hybrid sculptures merge human faces with animal bodies in a way that feels primal, mythic, and deeply moving. While standing in front of one of her creatures, I almost fell in love, as if he were real. I felt the slight burn of tears in my eyes, and I could have sat there for an hour just staring at his face.

Her work has traveled the world and lives in major collections, but seeing it in person at Art With Sand In Its Teeth, part of PORTAL Rockaway at Fort Tilden, was something else entirely. Fragile yet powerful, human yet animal, her sculptures challenge how we see identity and remind us of our place in the natural world.

I will be sharing a full video on the show soon because there were so many incredible artists featured, but today I am still in awe of Kate Clark. Her art is metaphor, myth, and pure magic.

We celebrated my friend Drew’s birthday on the rooftop at The Rockaway Hotel and it was a moment. Huge thanks to our fabulous host Bettina for pulling it all together. Rooftop vibes, stars overhead, Manhattan skyline across the bay… honestly, perfection. And of course, I live for Drew’s spirit and that laugh. Seeing everyone celebrate him was everything. 🥂✨

💔 One of the most intimate moments in Romeo and Juliet — Lady Capulet and Juliet in quiet conversation.

Here, I press her to marry for duty rather than love, reminding her that in Verona, obligation outweighs desire. Lady Capulet herself is trapped by the same fate, married so young to Lord Capulet that her own wishes were never truly her own.

And the irony isn’t lost on me. I grew up in an environment where what I wanted was never good enough for my own parents. That parallel made this scene especially raw — performing it with @jeniece.v.brown as Juliet, I could feel both the character’s story and my own weaving together.

⚡️ Playing Lady Capulet, I always found it difficult to hold back my rage for what happens to her… the loss, the bloodshed, the endless tragedy.

So I imagined her differently. Not silent, not weeping, but fierce: sword drawn, lightning flashing, ready to take Verona’s fate into her own hands. 🌩️⚔️

This is how her story should go… not only a grieving mother, but a warrior matriarch. Part tragedy, part fantasy, and maybe just a little camp. 😉

“Speak briefly, can you like of Paris’ love?” 💍
That’s me, Lady Capulet, Act 1 Scene 3 — doing my best infomercial voice for Verona’s hottest bachelor. Paris has money, looks, and family ties… what’s not to like?

Except Juliet. 🙄 My girl is serving teenage side-eye like “Mom, seriously?” And of course the Nurse is right there, turning this moment into her own podcast episode about baby Juliet. Wrong place, wrong time, girl!

Balancing mom duties, family politics, and a daughter who’d rather do anything than marry rich? Tough. Doing it with the Nurse rambling on for 45 minutes? Nearly impossible. 🎭

💔 Act V of Romeo and Juliet — the tomb, the tragedy, the heartbreak. Paris, Romeo, and Juliet all gone.

As Lady Capulet, this moment is devastating to play… but I’ll admit, I am also very proud of the gown I created for this scene. 👗✨ Tragedy, but make it fashion.

Performing in a look that channels both grief and grandeur has been a powerful way to close this story of love and loss. 🎭

🖤 “Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?” 🌊✨
When I step into Lady Capulet’s shoes in this scene, trying to convince Juliet to marry for money, I draw on one of my favorite villains — Ursula the Sea Witch. Her sly persuasion and commanding presence felt like the perfect inspiration as Lady Capulet treats her own Juliet as though she were Ariel. 🐚👑

Performing this scene with the luminous Jeniece Brown @jeniece.v.brown as Juliet is always a thrill — a battle of innocence and ambition wrapped in Shakespeare’s words. 🎭

✨ The halls of my Lord Capulet come alive with splendor as wine flows, music soars, and laughter fills every corner 🍷🌹
Together Lord Capulet and I welcome our guests and our daughter Juliet, radiant at the center of the feast. Yet beneath the beauty Tybalt’s fury stirs and the Montagues’ presence sparks unease ⚔️

Performing this scene as Lady Capulet, presiding over the feast, family, and fate, has been a joy and a foreshadowing of all that is to come 🎭💔

👹 I’ve been called a lot of names before, but this one might just be my favorite. Am I a devil or a fallen angel? Either way, this look was a blast to create with prosthetic horns, wings, and a lot of creativity. I brought this character to life on TikTok Live, where I go live 7 days a week sharing makeup tips, tricks, and everything from natural to outrageous looks. Come and join me—let’s create magic together! 😈✨
