This week’s hot and steamy playlist comes to you courtesy of NYC based artist and designer **Laura Hughes**. According to the New York City Health Dept, the safest sex during Corona quarantine is “with the people closest to you”. When social distancing keeps people alive, can touching yourself be the best thing to do? Instead of risking the fate of humankind to meet up with someone new, just turn the lights down, get in your best mood and *Touch Yourself, It’s All Over.*

For the past two weeks, Laura has been producing face masks to help protect against the spread of COVID-19\. The masks are designed with pockets for air filters and feature a silk lining, printed with a repeat pattern based off of German photographer Michael Wolf’s [Architecture of Density](http://photomichaelwolf.com/?ref=arts-of-the-working-class.ghost.io#architecture-of-densitiy/1) series. It’s public health, but make it fashion.
