Breaking News: This Coach tote is $145 off on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

From Martha to Diddy, Trial Sketch Artist Draws History Live From the Courtroom
It was in the final moment of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' marathon federal trial when Elizabeth Williams found her eyes locked with the rap mogul for the first time. The career sketch artist had followed his movements in the courtroom, sometimes using binoculars to capture him. She was mirroring his expression of absolute shock that moment on July 2, when he learned he was being denied bail and sent back to one of New York's most notorious lockups. The two sat there in the federal courtroom, flabbergasted, their gazes locked on each other. Normally, Williams would start with the head. But this time, Combs' eyes, and the pure shock they revealed, were first to the canvas.'I saw this face,' she told The Hollywood Reporter, pointing to a sketch, from her tight midtown Manhattan studio space in what used to be an upstairs nail salon. 'He was so shocked. I've drawn his face so much so it was easy to get it. He was relatively close to me. I couldn't believe it. I don't think he could either.'She has been sketching since 1980, toggling between fashion illustration and criminal courtrooms. But as strange days have hit the worlds of news and couture, her subject matter has veered away from runway struts and toward the legal drama unfolding in federal and criminal courts. More from The Hollywood Reporter Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Lower-Security Texas Prison Where She'll Be Housed With Two Famous Inmates Sean "Diddy" Combs' Lawyers Now Seeking Acquittal on Guilty Verdicts, Months Ahead of His Sentencing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Attorneys File Motion for His Release From Brooklyn Lockup Williams digs out stacks of sketches, showing her renderings of some of the most definitive legal moments of the past few decades. There's Martha Stewart, surrounded by bodyguards ('All these older men that Martha wanted to be around'). There's one from the Pizza Connection mafia case. A livid Stormy Daniels being cross-examined by Michael Avenatti, Ghislaine Maxwell leaning in with her attorney, Luigi Mangione's sneakers and Donald Trump's accordion hands all appear in the array of bold sketches of these cases most tense moments. 'My go-to materials? A brush pen with two sides. A big orange crayon, high-end, oil-based. A water brush,' she explains, then detailing the coastal stylistic divide of her craft. 'I work with line, not pastel. That's a West Coast thing. East Coasters do portraiture with pastels. I build structure from line. Line is truth.' But it wasn't her memorable rendering of that shared moment of locked-eyed shock with Diddy that made the cover of the Daily News and NewDay. Williams sketched the moment that the mogul dropped to his knees to thank the Lord after he beat the bulk of the feds' charges. She describes the scene surrounding the verdict as 'drawing a person falling out of a window.' For Williams, the work of a sketch artist is about transmitting the mood in the room in these moments. All of the drama should come through. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there,' she says. In a sketch of Cassie Ventura walking past Combs after testifying — his former partner, turned 'victim 1' and a key witness for the prosecution — Williams managed to convey the emotional rupture between the two. 'They were like ships in the night. Ten years of intimacy, and now they might as well be on different planets,' she said. Over the decades she's been at it, the job of a sketch artist has shrunk and shifted along with the news media. Gone are the days of her mentors and first years cutting her teeth jetting around with fancy meals and expense accounts. Nowadays, she knows she has a day's work ahead if the phone rings in the morning. She admits that it is slowly becoming increasingly untenable. She is now one of only a few sketch artists covering the courts nationwide — when cameras are barred from the courtroom, they provide out only visual clues to what's unfolding. 'It doesn't pay well. It doesn't have regular hours. The news business has changed. We used to get flown all over — NBC, CBS, ABC had the budgets,' she said. 'Now? It's social media. Dilution.' Nevertheless, Williams has the temperament of a seasoned pro who wouldn't trade her front row seat to several of modern history's key moments for anything. And she's committed to documenting history in real time, one trial at a time. 'Individuals must be as pictured. You can't make stuff up. That's how I was taught,' she says. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there.'

'I will be the friend that's too woke, but those Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads are weird,' another added. 'Like, fascist weird.

Bizarre, beachy fetish is blowing up with US porn fans this summer: report
There's a new summer accessory heating up pool parties — and no, it's not a thong bikini or a margarita slushie. It's a beach ball. And it's making people very hot under the inflatable collar. According to a new report by adult video platform Clips4Sale, summer is turning up the temperature on some steamy — and very specific — kinks, including a 46.85% surge in content featuring people blowing up beach balls. Advertisement 3 Beach balls are inflating more than egos this summer — and they've got fetish fans feeling the heat. bernardbodo – Yes, that's what people are watching — hopefully behind closed cabana doors. 'We often think of summer as a slow season for adult content because people are out of the house more,' a representative for the sexy site wrote. Advertisement 'But summer also awakens these specific, beachy fetishes that lie dormant the rest of the year,' they explained. Turns out, while you're worrying about avoiding sunburn and getting bikini waxes, someone out there is sexually fixated on scuba gear — up 37.44% — or obsessed with pool floaties. Even sweat is getting its turn in the sun, with views of glistening, sticky clips spiking nearly 18%. Swimming content alone skyrocketed by 189.72% — because nothing says 'summer fling' like synchronized splashing and a strategically unzipped wetsuit. Advertisement And this isn't just a seasonal slip — it's part of a growing national trend toward boutique kinks. 3 Beach balls are bouncing into X-rated territory — and this summer, they're hotter than a thong on cement. schab – Back in February, Clips4Sale published its annual United States of Fetish report — revealing that Americans' horniest habits are both highly regional and off-the-wall. When entering 2025, the data showed 'several converging trends,' the site's Avery Martin said at the time. Advertisement 'We've seen tremendous growth not only in giantess and vore fantasies, but also chastity, ballbusting and pegging,' they revealed. That's right — the most popular fetish nationwide is the giantess fantasy, or getting hot and bothered over towering women who could crush you like a Capri Sun. 3 Back in February, The Post covered Clips4Sale's jaw-dropping fetish map — proving America's kinks are as wild as they are local. Rido – New Yorkers in particular can't get enough of it, along with citizens of New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, D.C., and Arizona. Martin explained the phenomenon: 'While there's a public resurgence of masculine energy, privately men are fantasizing about powerful women. It may be alphas in the streets, but it's beta in the sheets.' Close behind was vore — the fantasy of being eaten or doing the eating — which overtook giantess in places like California and Nevada. The South, meanwhile, keeps it light with a thirst for 'tickling' and 'wrestling,' while Utah's top search? Balloons. We'll leave that one alone. Advertisement 'Part of the explanation may lie in volume,' Martin added. 'The number of searches nearly doubled in the past year. Americans are increasingly open to exploring fetish, and states are finding their freak.' From pedal-pumping in Mississippi to testicle torture (aka 'ballbusting') in Connecticut, it's clear: this summer, kink is a contact sport — and your average beach day just got a lot more blown up. So if you catch someone side-eyeing your pool floatie a little too long, don't be surprised. It's not just summer love — it's summer lust.
