This year’s Met Gala theme is Tailored for You – in connection with the new exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which opens to the public on May 10. The Met Gala typically draws its dress code from the accompanying exhibition, which celebrities (and their stylists) are encouraged to interpret on the red carpet.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5th, 1862, 163 years ago.

Today is also Dutch Heritage Day in Canada. This is just the 6th year it’ll be celebrated after the federal government adopted a motion from then Chatham-Kent-Leamington MP Dave Van Kesteren in April 2019.

It is meant to honour the sacrifices made by Canadian veterans who gave their lives fighting for the Liberation of Holland, which took place on May 5, 1945.
