The Sasha Velour-inspired AI drag queen you need to know

So, the latest discovery in my ongoing relationship with the AI-art platform Midjourney is that if you add a celebrity or someone with a million photos on the internet, you can control the look of the characters it outputs. More known celebrities like Brad Pitt can skew the results too far, but others, like RuPaul alum Sasha Velour, can add just the right amount of spice and flavor so as not to overwhelm but still provide a common thread and recognizable face.

The result is this series of Nosferatu-glam-David Bowie-queen-bitch that I can’t get enough of. I can even plop them into the Revive app to make them lip sync.
