The Final New Moon Of Spring Is Here — & It'll Rock Your World
The last New Moon of spring is going to rock our worlds amazingly. For the first time in a while, we'll be able to flourish with the Moon's phases and begin anew. The possibilities to grow beyond our current range will be enormous and exciting. This lunation pushes us to think beyond ourselves and to give TLC to others who need our support. We are interconnected beings who require compassion and love. Isn't that special?
May 26th's New Moon in Gemini emphasizes self-expression, curiosity, and learning. At this moment in time, we can reflect upon the past to see where we're going while offering ourselves a fresh start. The positive side of this lunation is that it allows us to discover and reinvent ourselves as we progress into our most valid form of being. The duality of the New Moon in Gemini urges us to shed the facade we show to the public by letting them see our unique and unfiltered qualities. There is beauty in being raw and pure. Allowing people to get deep with us will be a fantastic experience and adventure.
Communication planet Mercury in Gemini, responsible Saturn in Aries, visionary Neptune in Aries, and transformative Pluto in Aquarius all meet up with the New Moon. This promises to be a lunation that can change our being — for the better. We need to find a way to stop overthinking in the present and be in the moment. The moment we start feeling as though we are in alignment with the flow and rhythm of the universe is when we connect to our true selves. There is no more hiding behind the version of ourselves that we want others to see. The mask we've been wearing is coming off. The energy and persona we embody will be acknowledged and loved.
Around the same time as the New Moon, Mercury in Gemini harmonizes with Neptune in Aries. This magical transition will push us to dream big and assert our visions in the world. Mercury and Neptune are giving us the strength to do so. The caveat is that we may not be clear about our intentions, so it's best to write them down ahead of time and think them through clearly. Then, we can easily assert our hopes and aspirations into the universe and allow them to take flight. Pretty soon, they'll come true. We can attain our desires as long as we believe in our goals and give them the energy to come true in the physical world.
The fixed star Hyadum II gives the overall sentiment a zest of fierceness. Hyadum II is said to embody the characteristics of the action planet Mars, "Great Awakener" Uranus, and inspirational Neptune. These energies can elevate our spirit and make us want to take a humanitarian stand. Regarding our personal lives, it'll be complicated to understand what we're fighting for and looking to bring in before gaining clarity — which we will find once the fog clears. The only foreseeable consequence of Hyadum II is that we might get a little power-hungry and selfish if we don't consider helping others along our journey.
We'll feel a sense of confidence resulting from the celestial vibe. Looking forward allows us to walk on the 'right' side of the street. As we'll soon notice, there is no better avenue to hang out on since every path is coming up roses. Even if we choose to explore the trails, they'll lead to the same road, guaranteeing a destined ending (we can thank Neptune and Pluto for this). Since we are guaranteed personal success, we should pay it forward by trying to make a difference in the lives of others. Once we comprehend these soulful passions, it'll be hard to keep quiet when speaking on behalf of others. After all, what good is having a voice if we don't intend to make some noise?
As we embrace the lunar vibes of the New Moon in Gemini, it's important to savor the day. Bask in the joy and glory that you may feel. Enjoy the rush of optimism and good emotions that are brought to our consciousness and the world at large.

M&M's promotes cross-generational unity with new creative platform
This story was originally published on Marketing Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Marketing Dive newsletter. M&M's revealed a new creative platform, 'It's More Fun Together,' that promotes a message of togetherness through humor and cross-generational bonding, according to a press release. New spots depict occasions, including a family movie night and a couple settling into a romantic evening that's disrupted by a visiting relative, where M&M's unite people. The brand's signature spokescandies crack jokes and add an element of surprise in the spots. The effort was developed for a global audience spanning over 100 markets, with an emphasis on the ampersand in M&M's name to hammer home the theme of unity. The marketer joins others in the industry in focusing on connection in divisive times. At a time when many CPG brands are reinventing themselves to better cater to Gen Z, M&M's is taking a cross-generational approach with 'It's More Fun Together.' The concept for the platform is rooted in survey data from YouGov and Statista that show a majority of Gen Z, millennials and boomers in the U.S. cite M&M's as their favorite candy, underpinning the Mars-owned confectionery brand's broad appeal. 'We know that to maintain this iconicity, we must — and we will — continue to keep fans at the heart of how the M&M's brand comes to life,' said Rankin Carroll, global chief creative officer of Mars Snacking, in a statement. 'Co-creation is the future of brand building, and 'It's More Fun Together' lays the foundation for us to do just that.' A fresh crop of ads accordingly depict people of varied ages and backgrounds bonding over M&M's. In one spot promoting M&M's Minis, a millennial couple eagerly waits to see if their toddler has gotten the hang of going to the bathroom alone, only to be surprised when the red M&M spokescandy walks out of the john and asks for a reward. Another ad, 'Jump Scare,' shows parents settling in to watch a horror movie with their twins, when the dad suddenly emits a high-pitched scream. The blue M&M warns the scares are only just getting started. Each video closes with M&M's products as the '&' in the logo flashes different colors. Other spots running as part of 'It's More Fun Together' are more product-oriented, highlighting the taste of offerings such as peanut- and milk chocolate-flavored M&M's. The campaign will run across digital, social, TV, out-of-home and other traditional ad channels and includes partnership and activations at the brand's experiential retail stores, per details shared with Marketing Dive. 'It's More Fun Together' was created by Team OMC and BBDO with paid media by EssenceMediacom and PR by Weber Shandwick. 'It's More Fun Together' arrives several years after M&M's was caught in a swirl of controversy after updating its spokescandies to be more inclusive, which drew criticism from right-wing commentators. Changes included introducing a purple spokescandy mascot themed around acceptance, who factors into 'It's More Fun Together.' M&M's leaning into messaging around unity could resonate at a moment when many consumers are divided. Other confectionery brands have taken a similar tack of late. Twix, another product under the Mars portfolio, ditched a long-standing focus on the left-right divide of its twinned chocolate bars earlier this year, pivoting to marketing that has people working together. The multimillion dollar campaign, 'Two is more than one,' is intended to address how sick young consumers are of polarization and capitalize on their interest in living life to the fullest. Mars ramping up its creative initiatives comes as it is potentially mulling other changes around its marketing. The company is planning to move its media account from WPP Media, formerly GroupM, to Publicis, Digiday reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Sexyy Red: Raunchy, Raw, and Running the Game
This article originally appeared in Hypebeast Magazine Issue 35: The Wavelength Issue. Sexyy Red isn't just fashionable—she's fashionably late, too. And for a rap diva whose star rises higher by the day, is there any other way to be? The LA Arts District photo studio where I'm supposed to interview Sexyy on this sunny February afternoon isn't the worst place to hold court, either, and the extra time gives me a moment to reflect. Sexyy's world moves fast—chart-dominating singles, A-list collaborations, and headline-grabbing moments unfold faster than fans (and haters) can keep up. As if that wasn't enough, the 26-year-old St. Louis native is also a mother of two who handles her art, her aspirations, her business, and her home life in a seemingly-impossible balancing act that continues to propel her pop culture rise at breakneck speed. Need proof? Her recent single featuring Bruno Mars, 'Fat Juicy & Wet' is testament to her crossover appeal—using her uniquely 'Sexyy' energy to create must-listen songs that even her detractors can't help but enjoy. After the track's release in late January 2025, it quickly shot into the top 10 not just in the US, but in Japan, Sweden, and Australia, as well. The video for the song, which features fellow Mars collaborators Lady Gaga and ROSÉ, also racked up nearly 30 million views in its first month alone. 'Fat Juicy & Wet' is far from Sexyy's first taste of breakout success, though. Her 2023 Tay Keith-produced single 'Pound Town' turned the internet on its head and made Sexyy an over-night superstar. With bass-heavy beats, unapologetically raunchy lyrics, and the now-iconic hook 'my coochie pink, my bootyhole brown,' Sexyy didn't just go viral—she imprinted herself in pop culture's DNA. She also proved she isn't just an entertainer—she's a liberator, unafraid to indulge in forbidden fun and filthy pleasures. 'Pound Town' made her 2023 mixtape Hood Hottest Princess a smash hit. And she followed that success with 2024's similarly acclaimed In Sexyy We Trust . That record included the hit 'SkeeYee,' which was notable not only as an infectious catchphrase but also for its ability to bridge the gender gap. Numerous viral videos featured the song in male-dominated spaces in what felt like an unprecedented embrace of a female-centered track. Teams and athletes like the Baltimore Orioles, the Ole Miss football team, UFC fighter Bobby Green, and NFL receiver Stephon Diggs used the song as the soundtrack for grand entrances and celebrations. 'SkeeYee's' brand of crossover appeal has become a signature of Sexyy Red's rise. She doesn't just make hits—she makes moments, tapping into a raw, unfiltered energy that resonates far beyond her core fanbase. And while her style is unmistakably her own, it also carries echoes of past trailblazers. Bits and pieces of 2 Live Crew, golden era Gucci Mane, Chief Keef, Trina, and Project Pat all find their way into Sexyy Red's potent potion. Maybe that's why superstars continue to flock to Sexyy. Not only has she collabed with Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion on her own songs and remixes, but she's also hopped on tracks with everyone from Tyler, The Creator ('Sticky'), to Drake and SZA ('Rich Baby Daddy'). Back at the photo studio, the anticipation of Sexyy's arrival is punctuated by a jarring noise that breaks the silence. A massive, 30-foot-high garage door groans open, revealing the LA sky that's now faded from day to night. A Ferrari 458, painted in blazing Rosso Corsa (Italian racing red), rolls into the studio—a slow-moving tribute to wealth, power, and beauty. Almost on cue, from the opposite end of the studio, Sexxy makes her similarly stunning entrance and heads straight to her dressing room. I follow her inside and for the hour that follows, we talk all things Red as she simultaneously curates her wardrobe and meticulously directs her makeup artist's every move—all while enjoying a thick slice of Prince Street pepperoni pizza. What's your connection to the color red? Has it always been your thing, or did it become part of your identity over time? It's either you love red or you love blue. Rihanna had red hair in the 'Man Down' video and I definitely liked how that looked… I even had red hair back when I was in middle school. I heard you were kind of a punk rocker back in the day. What are some of your favorite bands from you were in that era? I like Green Day, I like Pink, I like Avril Lavigne… You would be surprised at the stuff I like. Would you do a record with Green Day? Man, I definitely would do a record with Green Day. I like that kind of stuff. That's fresh. I just listen to all the genres. Speaking of all the genres, your single with Bruno Mars 'Fat Juicy & Wet' made some serious noise. Was making that record a fun experience? Yeah, Bruno, he's crazy. We had talked on the phone and brainstormed. I liked what we came up with and then we recorded it in the studio. It was something different. How picky are you when it comes to producers and beats? Do you spend a lot of time listening to music and finding the right track? Yeah, I do. I spend a lot of time listening to beats. If I can hear a song in my head, like if lyrics pop up in my head to the beat, then I'll be like, Okay, I can work with this. But if I'm just listening to the beat and nothing is popping up… NEXT! You're part of this wave of women running rap right now. In your eyes, what sets you apart? What's Sexy Red's unique stamp on the game? I ain't got no filter. I just don't know when I'm saying something crazy, so I guess that's it. Speaking of the glorious ladies of rap, if you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one female rapper by your side, who's making the cut? Recently I've been hanging out with Latto and GloRilla. It's between them two. They're fun. If you were stuck on that island with them, what would be Sexxy's survival superpower? Probably rapping to the mermaids. That's an important skill. You'll be like, 'You, get us some fish!' Yeah. Gotta get in with the mermaids. Then they'd hook us up. Do you ever watch survival reality shows? Hell yeah. I used to watch them back in the day. That stuff is totally crazy, like Naked and Afraid. Who does that? They're crazy. Facts. On the topic of survival skills, you popped up at a WWE match a while back. Are you a wrestling fan? My team approaches me with ideas like this from time to time. When they presented WWE, I immediately was like, 'Yeah, I would do that.' There's an element of the WWE that's obviously theatrical. Do you see yourself exploring acting more as your career continues to evolve? I could portray any kind of character. I could be an alien. I can do whatever. Do you believe in aliens? Definitely. I kind of believe humans are aliens. I do too. I think my ancestors were aliens. You know, I'm Aries and Aries are from Mars. For sure. Mars is Aries' ruling planet. You know, maybe that's why you like the color red. Exactly. It's in me. Red is hot and spicy, you know what I'm saying? Let's talk a little bit more about how you incubated your otherworldly sense of style. You used to work in hair. What was your name back then, Trill Red? Take us back to the Trill Red era — what was that time like for you? I used to be doing everybody's hair—braids and glue ins—out of my house. I used to be known for dressing pretty and having all the clothes and shoes and stuff. I was just into the ladies' fashions. But I also used to hate it because all my friends would make me do their hair. We'd be just hanging out and they'd be like, 'Can you do my edges?' I'd be like, 'No, I'm off work. Leave me alone, bro. For real.' Now that you have such a big platform, tell me about some of the boss lady moves you're making in the hair and beauty world. I want to get a salon and I want to do everything: clothes, nails, hair, makeup, lashes, waxing, whatever. One stop shop. Just go to different rooms, you know? I want to be the first one. I think it would be fun. Also, lip gloss… Yeah, your Northside Princess lip gloss line is next level. I feel like you're the only person in the beauty world that can pull of product names like 'Coochie Juice' and 'Gonorrhea.' Besides x-rated names, what makes a good lip gloss? The glitter, shine. Shit like that. I just like how mine is. I just put certain stuff in it that I would like, you know? Definitely. So beyond rocking great lip gloss, dressing fabulous, and having great hair, what does 'sexy' really mean to you regarding how you express yourself? Sexy is confidence. It's high self-esteem. It's basically feeling yourself. Just kind of like can't tell you nothing. Do you feel like people misunderstand what sexy is? Yeah, they can. Because it's not just about physical beauty? No, it's not. It's about how you feel for real. Because you could be ugly, but if you feel like you're sexy, can't nobody tell you nothing. That's called confidence. And confidence is sexiness. Exactly.
