When it's time for Megan Thee Stallion to step on a red carpet, we already know the Hot Girl is going to slay. Her fashion moments give style, attitude, and BAWDY – and her recent Gold House Gala appearance was no exception.
Held on May 10 in Los Angeles, the fourth annual Gold Gala brought out Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) excellence and the stars who support these communities. At the event, Megan received the prestigious One House Honor for paying homage to Asian Pacific culture. More specifically, Gold House highlighted 'Mamushi,' her recent single featuring Yuki Chiba.
The song's video, filmed in Japan, was a visual love letter to Japanese cinema and culture. Meg merged hip hop, pop culture, and Japanese style in a way that only she can. So, Megan showed up to the swanky soiree with gratitude for Gold House and AAPI culture while rocking an Asian fashion-forward slay that we are still swooning over.

The Houston hot girl wore a jaw-dropping black gown from Quinne Li that demanded attention from every angle. The dramatic piece featured a sheer lace bodice with her curves on full display. Around the bodice was a 3-D, bold circular black sculptural padding gracing her bust and hips.
Megan's Quinne Li gown also featured a high-neck mandarin collar to bring in sophisication, a satin embroidered skirt, and an ultra-high slit to show off her killer legs. But that wasn't the only part of Meg's figure she flexed – the entire dress gave BAWDY .
Every detail of the fit was intentional and high-impact – just like she is.

The 'HISS' rapper paired the statement gown with simple black heels, dangling statement earrings, and a smoldering beat that featured winged liner and a soft rose lip. Megan brought the Asian inspiration up a notch, styling her rich auburn-red hair into a funky ponytail with blunt ends.
Her hair and beauty were giving anime villain, dominatrix couture, and soft glam all in one.
Megan didn't just attend the Gold Gala—she slayed it. And in a space centered on cultural collaboration and representation, her presence was powerful and her fashion made the statement clear: she came with respect, beauty, and BAWDY!

Their Wine Country restaurant is a hot destination. Their new spot is for the locals
The team behind one of Sonoma County's best restaurants will soon open a new, more approachable spot in Petaluma. Named Bijou — 'jewel,' in French — it is the latest from Table Culture Provisions owners Stéphane Saint Louis, Steven Vargas and Marta Saint Louis. At 190 Kentucky St. starting Friday, June 13, diners will find seasonal dishes applying French technique to the North Bay's wealth of seasonal produce, but at a lower price than the group's original restaurant. Table Culture Provisions is beloved by visitors and locals, who often refer to it simply as TCP. But with a tasting menu that runs in the triple digits and can only accommodate around a 10 tables, it's not easily accessible. 'That is a barrier for the community to come in every day, or once a week,' said Saint Louis, who will run the kitchen at the new restaurant while Vargas helms TCP. 'At Bijou, you'll have food at the quality and standard of what we offer at Table Culture Provisions, just more affordable and approachable.' (The restaurant did not provide prices for dishes.) Snacks and shared dishes will include tempura vegetable batons with a green goddess drizzle and sprinkled with malt vinegar powder, and a petit croque monsieur with shaved truffles on top. The Cowgirl x D. Fatti is a rosemary boule from local bakery Della Fattoria hollowed out and stuffed with Cowgirl Creamery's funky-rich Red Hawk cheese that's topped with roasted garlic and a drizzle of honey. The bread's interior is cut into stubby sticks, then fried, the better to dip into the soft cheese. Larger entrees will include a 10-ounce rib eye from San Rafael butchers Flannery Beef in a black peppercorn sauce, cut into thin slivers that give it a classic French bistro feel. A small side of bone marrow truffle fries and a small salad with shaved Parmesan come along with the cut. A Japanese sea bream will be served with a vegetable ragout and a pistachio caper sauce. Hand-made stuffed pastas will rotate frequently, starting with caramelle, pasta bundles with twisted ends akin to a wrapped caramel. These come stuffed with Liberty duck legs cured in a cumin-fennel blend then confited overnight. Staff baste the caramelle with a jus made from duck stock and duck bones that's spiked with a hit of Port. A zigzag of rich crème fraîche and pea tendrils accent the dish. 'I'm just a fan of stuffed pastas and I take pride in making these,' Saint Louis said. He's already looking forward to future pastas such as a tortellini filled with hearty beef cheeks during the colder months of the year, and agnolotti stuffed with locally caught Dungeness crab when the next season begins. Dessert at Bijou from Table Culture Provisions pastry chef Sylvain Parsy includes a mille feuille, the classic French dessert of layered puff pastry and vanilla cream, that's textured with burnt caramel and a ribbon of creme anglaise. A flight of petit fours, assorted bite-sized sweets, will come in triplets or quartets paired with coffee or tea. Once summer strawberries arrive at the restaurant they will go into a tart topped with rhubarb sorbet. Until then, there's a sundae that's topped with shaved almond, cacao nib and a pour of fresh, hot chocolate sauce. Otello Tiano, who led the bar program at San Francisco's Lazy Bear, consulted on Bijou's drinks. The cocktail list will include six original cocktails and six classics with a French inclination, using ingredients like Chartreuse and pastis, a liqueur flavored with anise. Wines will be diverse, with various styles and origins, but with a focus on California. Bijou took over the former home of southern restaurant Easy Rider, known for its fried chicken and mac-and-cheese, which closed in December. The space can accommodate 55 seated diners, making a dinner reservation or a walk-in a lot more feasible than at TCP. Plans are to open every day, except Wednesdays, for dinner service, with regular Sunday brunch. A daytime window, Café Bijou, will offer pastries, sandwiches, salads and a soup du jour, plus coffee using beans from local roaster Petaluma Coffee & Tea Co. Saint Louis described the interior as feeling like 'modern comfort,' with its whitewashed walls, concrete bar and minimalist tables. Exposed brick supports and warm light from metal frame chandeliers help the building a cozier, he said. 'It's my jewel box for the community.'

These Korean Whiskeys Are Giving Japan And Scotland A Run For Their Money
A line of tasting glasses filled with different types of Whiskies for tasting, with the focus on the ... More second glass, the rest is out of focus For years, whisky in Korea was something you poured at a karaoke bar to impress your boss—or drank with imported Scotch while making awkward small talk at a business dinner. But in the past few years, the country's relationship with whiskey has shifted from boardroom obligation to genuine obsession. Today, a new generation of distillers is shaping Korea's whisky future with locally distilled, aged, and blended spirits that stand proudly on their own. It's not just imitation Scotch anymore—these bottles are uniquely Korean, expressive, and in many cases, surprisingly delicious. Here's what you need to know about Korean whisky's roots, and a few bottles you should seek out if you want to drink like you're ahead of the trend. Glass of whiskey with ice cubes on the old barrel. With copy space on wooden background Whisky in Korea has long been synonymous with imports—mostly Scotch and, more recently, Japanese whisky. Local conglomerates like HiteJinro and Doosan dabbled in bottling blends under license, but true domestic whisky? Not so much. That started to change in the 2010s. Changes to Korea's liquor laws made small-scale distilling more feasible, and a few adventurous makers—some with Scotch whisky pedigrees—began laying down barrels. Thus the country's decision to go with that whisky spelling rather than whiskey. Now, Korea is starting to produce some genuinely interesting whiskeys of its own. They may not have decades in the barrel (yet), but they do have something Scotch never will: a Korean passport and a local perspective. Ki One 'Tiger Edition' Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province Three Societies is where Korean whisky officially found its cool older cousin who studied abroad and came back with stories. Founded by Korean-American entrepreneur Bryan Do and helmed by Scottish master distiller Andrew Shand (formerly of The Macallan), this is the country's first true single malt distillery. The Ki One Tiger Edition—their first release—was bottled at a cask-strength 56.2% ABV and made from 100% Korean barley. It's got warm notes of roasted chestnut, apricot jam, grain biscuits, and a whisper of citrus peel, with a surprisingly structured finish for something so young. Think of it as Korea's whisky debutante ball—and yes, she wore tiger stripes. The Signature Busan Golden Blue is kind of like Korea's Crown Royal: loved, ubiquitous, and smoother than you'd expect. It's technically a blend and clocks in at a modest 36.5% ABV, which means it's legally whiskey in Korea, but it might raise eyebrows elsewhere. That said, this is a bottle built for session sipping. The Signature offers flavors of light honey, grain toast, and a faint floral tea finish, and it goes down easier than a Zoom call with the camera off. It's especially popular with Korean drinkers who are just starting to explore whisky, or anyone who wants to feel fancy without working too hard for it. Photography of a glass whisky with ice. North Gyeongsang Province Named after Korea's mythical white tiger and Mount Paektu (the spiritual 'roof' of the Korean peninsula), this new distillery is aiming for myth-making right out of the gate. And surprisingly? They might just pull it off. The Paektu Malt offers delicate notes of Asian pear, almond, oak spice, and jujube, wrapped in a silky texture that suggests careful blending and a lot of taste-testing (for science, of course). With more regional cask experiments on the way, White Tiger could be the one to watch if you like your whisky with a backstory and a bite. Korean whiskey is still in its early chapters—but it's already telling some compelling stories. While many of these bottles are hard to find outside Korea (for now), that's part of the fun. Next time you're browsing the spirits aisle or stocking your global whiskey shelf, leave a little room for Seoul. You'll be glad you did.
