Hot girl summer has officially begun. And the forecast says there is a 100% chance Megan Thee Stallion.
The Houston-bred raptress just broke the internet – again – after dropping a set of sizzling beach photos that we love on Instagram. Megan is the heat wave. Period.
In recent pics, our good Sis is living her soft, sun-drenched life—posing effortlessly on somebody's beach with nothing but blue skies and good vibes surrounding her. But let's be real: no one's looking at the vibes.
All eyes are on Megan's jaw-dropping body, melanin-rich glow, and brown, barely-there bikini that is giving everything it needs to give. Sis is sexy, snatched, and slaying.
The chocolate-toned two-piece hugs every curve and highlight of her hourglass frame. It features a gold accent in the center of the top and thin, high-cut straps highlighting her toned waist and cakes.
It's giving bronzed goddess meets Texas baddie.
But Megan didn't stop there—she tops off her beach look with a straw cowboy hat. Her long, jet-black beachy waves flow freely from the shade-giving accessory. https://www.instagram.com/p/DK-jUyqzdoZ/?img_index=1
Megan's nails were just as flawless as her fit. ( Spoiler Alert: Megan added a close up of them on the last picture of her June 16 carousel post. )
The 'HISS' rapper and known nail queen went full-on wild with a fierce tiger-striped animal print manicure, filed to long and sharp perfection. The set blends gold, amber, and black for a vibe that screams bold summer glam.
While Megan Thee Stallion's bikini Instagram post may look like a casual beach flex, it doubles as the perfect promo moment for her latest business move: her Hot Girl Summer swimwear collaboration with Walmart.
The rapper debuted pieces from the line during her runway appearance at Miami Swim Week, reminding us that she doesn't just rap about body confidence—she lives it, markets it, and sells it, too. The line features affordable, inclusive swim options for all body types, curated with Megan's own bold and sexy aesthetic in mind.
From the beach to the runway to the store, Megan Thee Stallion is that girl. She's showing fans that Hot Girl Summer has officially begun – and it's time we fell in line.

‘Mary Poppins' lawyer dresses like it's the 1800s with custom Victorian clothing and dip pens

She parties like it's 1899. Oregon's Adelaide Beeman-White is winding back the clock on haute couture by dressing like she stepped out of a time machine from the late 19th century. Instead of the usual suit, the 27-year-old associate attorney wears a handmade long skirt with puffed sleeves, a feathered hat and even a parasol, parroting the style of the 1800s Victorian era, Oregon Live reported. 'I'm stuck very solidly in about 1893 to '98,' the Hillsboro resident told the outlet of her Victorian-core style. 'I love that period primarily because the clothing is the best.' 4 'The speed of modern life has bothered me for as long as I can remember,' said Beeman-White. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram Beeman-White, who regularly shares photos of her retro ensembles on Instagram, also rocks leather gloves and a chatelaine, a decorative metal belt outfitted with accessories from fingernail clippers to a coin purse like a wearable Swiss Army Knife. Unfortunately, the 19th-century cosplayer is not allowed the aforementioned couture in court. Like a super hero with a secret identity, the Oregonian rocks a separate normal outfit for the judge, which comprises a comparatively staid plain, black J. Crew blazer. Her style could perhaps be compared to Cottagecore — a lifestyle and fashion trend that romanticizes a slower, simpler time, a la 'Little Women' or 'Little House on the Prairie' — but for the 1800s. 4 Beeman-White even lights her house with oil lamps. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram The Victorian lifestyle isn't just cosmetic — it's a way of a life. Beeman-White also acts the part by lighting her bedroom with oil lamps and sewing and mending her own clothing from vintage fabrics — a process she documents for her over 20,000 followers on Youtube. The old-school litigator even wrote to AAA with a dip pen and ink when it came time to renew her membership. This 19th-century fascination began in the sixth grade, when the Pacific Northwesterner traded in her jeans for a skirt, which kept getting longer and decked out in lace as time went on. 4 'I'm stuck very solidly in about 1893 to '98,' Beeman-White declared. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram 4 Beeman-White started partaking in Victorian-core in the sixth grade. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram 'The speed of modern life has bothered me for as long as I can remember,' said Beeman-White, whose fascination conversely lay with the past. She was especially fascinated with Queen Elizabeth I. 'I think she just really admired Queen Elizabeth and saw her as a really powerful woman and feminine figure,' recalled her mother Harriet Beeman, a therapist. 'She led the military and did all these things that men would've done, that women hadn't really been doing. That was part of it.' By early high school, Beeman-White dove headfirst into the role and was even a 'celebrity' in her neighborhood with local residents comparing her to 'Mary Poppins,' per her mother. Why did she choose to live her life like the 1800s? Beeman-White explained, 'The technological discoveries and advancements that are happening from 1890 to 1910, that would've been one of the most exciting periods to be alive.' Although the lawyer clarifies that she loves the reforms of the era — ie. labor unions, woman fighting for the right to vote — and not the 'oppressive and repressive and cruel policies and things that were going on at that time.' But Beeman-White is not just wallowing in the nostalgia and conversely suggests that a Victorian pace of life benefits the mind. 'We need to take our time with things,' she said. 'Focus on actually enjoying life. It's very bad for people psychologically to be rushing around not taking time to smell the flowers.'

The finale after the finale: S.F. Symphony Chorus shines in Verdi's Requiem

Like a baseball game rescheduled after a rainout, there was one more concert on the San Francisco Symphony's season calendar after last week's grand finale with outgoing Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen. The orchestra staged its makeup performance of Verdi's Requiem on Friday, June 20, a concert that was canceled during the Symphony Chorus' strike in September last year. James Gaffigan generously stepped in to conduct the work, which Salonen would have led in the fall. The program is slated to be repeated on Sunday, June 22, at Davies Symphony Hall. After its extraordinary contributions to Salonen's farewell performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the Chorus showed it was worth every penny of the anonymous $4 million gift made in the months following the strike. The singers came to the fore not just in the 90-minute Requiem, normally programmed by itself, but in a first part that included three choral pieces by Gordon Getty, himself a generous donor to the Symphony (and a co-founder of San Francisco Classical Voice). Getty's works are genial, melodic and accessible, and Gaffigan, a friend of the composer, led them deftly and with evident care. The Intermezzo from Getty's 2017 opera 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips' begins delicately, with spare lines in the marimba giving way to the harp, then acquiring a more definitive melodic profile in the strings. It's a meditative piece that finds an unexpected climax when the choristers interject a school hymn, almost as if overhead from afar. The Chorus also gave fine performances of 'Saint Christopher' (2024), which features effective writing for voices, and 'The Old Man in the Snow' (2020), a more substantial work in several sections that Getty skillfully sets apart with different instrumentation, including a trombone choir, keyboards and mallet percussion. If the performance of the piece as a whole lacked finesse, their contributions were nonetheless stellar. The singing was artful, from the opening 'Requiem aeternam,' with the sound humming in the air through the nasal consonants, to the explosive 'Dies irae' and the stentorian 'Rex tremendae.' The women made a luminous entrance in the 'Lacrimosa' at the line 'Huic ergo parce, Deus' (Therefore spare him, O Lord), and the whole chorus concluded with the fearful declamation and hortatory final fugue of the 'Libera me.' The singers encompassed the range of Verdi's writing in finely balanced sound that pulled emotion from every chord change. Gaffigan's conducting, however, emphasized drive and the titanic climaxes while shorting the Requiem's poetic side. Certainly, this is a public religious work, conceived as a memorial to Italian art — first to the composer Gioachino Rossini and then, when that initial plan fell through, to author Alessandro Manzoni. But it's not only theatrical. This interpretation was driven by inflexible tempos and a sameness to all of the climaxes and fortissimo outbursts that ultimately became wearing. Though the orchestra played well, earning deserved applause, the performance was missing a sense of transcendence and the overarching struggle of mourning and fear giving way to tranquility and acceptance. The soloists — soprano Rachel Willis-Sørenson, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, tenor Mario Chang and bass Morris Robinson — were generally excellent. The notable exception was Chang's effortful 'Ingemisco' prayer, sung without any bloom in the tone and generally unresonant and unconvincing. The violins joined Willis-Sørenson in a moving 'Sed signifer sanctus Michael' (Let the standard-bearer holy Michael), the soprano singing sweetly in one of the score's many standout lyrical moments. If there had been more of those, this Requiem would have been even better.

Courtney Stodden Calls Out Bethenny Frankel Interview

Courtney Stodden is calling out Bethenny Frankel for the "criticism and bullying" she says she faced in a past interview. Courtney appeared on Bethenny in 2013 amid her split from Doug Hutchison, whom she'd controversially wed two years earlier when he was 51 and she was 16. Her rep had attributed the breakup to Courtney's age at the time, saying in a statement: "As you know, Courtney was married at a young age. Now, at 19, she's interested in exploring life as an unmarried single young adult—with the freedom to explore her independence." Bethenny asked Courtney about the split and her plans after divorce on the show. "You said earlier that you want to go back to being a 19-year-old," she said. "You come here, you have very blonde extensions. You have very large breasts. You have a short skirt. You come in looking like you could be a strip club." She also couldn't believe Courtney had turned down porn deals because of her "promiscuous" appearance. She also said, "🥀 I had to cancel my other interviews that day for a press tour in NYC because I couldn't handle any more criticism and bullying 💔" Bethenny hasn't publicly respond to the clip, but she previously defended her behavior after Courtney called her out for making her feel "mocked" in 2022. "Perhaps unfortunately, how we present ourselves is part of our branding and marketing," she wrote in a message to Courtney, which Courtney then shared on Instagram. "You were certainly marketing yourself differently than you are now, which seems to be working for you."She added, "I wish you luck in your endeavors. If something I said, upset or stuck with you, I'm sorry. Perhaps our conversation did contribute to the positive path that you embarked on." People reacted to the clip in the comments, calling Bethenny's behavior "horrible" and downright disappointing. "wow. it's giving 'but what were you wearing,'" one person wrote. Another stated that's exactly why her "talk show tanked!! She's horrible at interviewing at hosting." "You didn't deserve that," said a third. "I'm so sorry. It's written all over your face that you were hurting. I hope you get a meaningful apology." "You were groomed and healing yourself at this point and she has this to say?" a fourth wrote in disbelief, adding, "Bethenny has always been a mean girl. If anyone said this to Bethenny, she'd rip them a new one. She's also always been a hypocrite." Someone else commented, "God forbid a girl love playboy aesthetic and still wants to be seen as a human being," while one more added, "I will NEVER forgive all the adults who failed you. It still makes me sick to this day. They should feel so ashamed for how they took advantage of a child who was clearly being exploited. I hope it haunts them forever. You deserved so much better."
