Billionaires for spring? Groundbreaking. Look, I love the Met Gala as much as the next gay guy. But the vibes were off at the Bezos Ball last night… especially after seeing The Devil Wears Prada 2 this past weekend (highly recommend, btw). Maybe that $10 million could’ve gone to pay Amazon workers a fair living wage. That’s all.

AANHPI-OWNED BUSINESSES TO SUPPORT THIS MONTH

In honor of AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re highlighting some of our favorite Asian-owned spots in LA. Think bakeries you’ll dream about and restaurants you’ll immediately recommend to everyone you know. And because it goes deeper than just great food, we also included local orgs and resources supporting LA’s Asian communities.
