Canadian photographer Herwig spent over a decade travelling more than 50,000 kilometres across the former Soviet Union, documenting nearly 750 bus stops in countries ranging from Ukraine and Georgia to Kazakhstan and the Baltics.
What he found challenges the stereotype of Soviet uniformity — these humble roadside shelters turned out to be surprising canvases for local creativity, featuring bold forms, playful details, and regional references that feel almost defiant in their individuality.
Collected in his book Soviet Bus Stops, the project is a fascinating reminder that even within the most rigid systems, people found ways to leave their mark on the landscape, one weird and wonderful bus shelter at a time. Check out a gallery of some of his images after the jump!
To celebrate the city of Los Angeles in the wake of last year’s devastating fires, AD asked a group of iconic Angelenos to share their favorite local places. This is Megan Stalter‘s love letter to LA.
The comedian steps inside Marriage Skate Shop, the creative, community-driven space founded by Kat Typaldos and Ronnie Campone. Blending independent skate culture, local art, and animal rescue advocacy, the Los Angeles shop hosts adoption events and showcases hand-painted boards and collaborations with local artists. Megan celebrates how small businesses like this help rebuild community and keep LA’s creative spirit alive.
SFX makeup artist Paige Cole has been getting attention for something most people would find absurd: she wears prosthetics daily, peels them off at night, and has zero interest in plastic surgery.
For Cole, it’s more about creative expression, than correction. Prosthetics let her transform and perform—she controls them, changes them, removes them. Surgery locks you in. Prosthetics are reversible!
We live in a time when “natural” gets treated as a virtue and cosmetic procedures swing between celebration and scandal. Cole sidesteps that whole conversation. She’s not pursuing some standard of beauty. She’s practicing a skill, her way. Check out her discussing why she says she won’t ever get surgery or filler after the jump! John Carpenter would stan.
An anonymous art collective calling itself The Secret Handshake put a 10-foot replica of Donald Trump’s alleged birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein on the National Mall overnight, near the U.S. Capitol. The installation riffs on the “birthday book” note that has circulated in reporting and political documents, which Trump has denied authoring. 
The piece is set up like a public participation prop: visitors are encouraged to sign the oversized card with their own message to the administration, turning the work into a live guestbook of public reaction. According to reporting, it appeared ahead of Epstein’s Jan. 20 birthday and is permitted for a limited run. Find more photos of the card after the jump.
Dr. Ruiz Productions features Tara Reid in her return to the screen and touts the film as:
“a story that matters. Tara Reid shines in The Dreamer Cinderella, delivering one of her most compelling performances yet in a romance drama that demands to be seen on the big screen.”
Check out a clip from the film starring Tara after the jump followed by the film’s trailer!
First of all, ANY breadstick is a dildo if you use your imagination enough. No one needs to pay for a silicone, long battery life high end version if they just wanna get creative instead. BUT it’s good to know there are options out there. Can never have too many options…

Step inside “The Worst of John Waters” exhibit for a rare behind-the-scenes look into the strange, funny, and heartfelt mind of John Waters, his art and his relationship to New Orleans.
The exhibit was featured at the Arthur Roger Gallery from October 4th to November 15th in New Orleans, Louisiana. The show featured some of John’s “worst” work — which he describes as “the rudest, the hardest to sell, and the just plain wrong.” The show also featured artwork from two of his closest friends, Frankie Rice and Paul Lee.
