The Masked Singer is an American reality singing competition television series that premiered on Fox on January 2, 2019. It is part of the Masked Singer franchise and features celebrities singing songs while wearing costumes to conceal themselves. The program employs panelists who guess the celebrities' identities. In most episodes, after the last performance, a vote of the panelists and the audience eliminates a contestant, who is then revealed. The costumes were inspired by haute couture and designed in the first six seasons by Marina Toybina (pictured), who won a Costume Designers Guild Award and two Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The first five seasons received the highest Nielsen ratings for a non-sports program in the key demographic of adults 18–49. Its success has been credited to the growth of the Masked Singer franchise and interest in adapting South Korean reality television series and other television formats centered on costumes. The tenth season premiered in September 2023. (Full article...)

Le Violon d'Ingres is a black-and-white photograph taken by the American visual artist Man Ray in 1924. One of the best-known works of Surrealist photography, it was first published in the Surrealist magazine Littérature in June 1924. It shows the French model Kiki de Montparnasse from the back, nude to below her waist and wearing a turban. Two f-holes are painted on her back to make her body resemble a violin.
