Did you know this Parisian hotel hosted the historic unveiling of the world’s first bikini? The crowd gasps… Louis Réard introduced his daring two piece concept at a poolside fashion show in 1946. Although the design was itsy-bitsy for the time, it soon became a staple for sunbums everywhere.

ANTARCTICA ADVENTURE

Humidity got you down? On July 16th we’re shipping off to the southernmost point in the world aboard the MS Roald Amundsen with the Hurtigruten expedition team. Though the adventure will look chilly, you may be surprised to learn that we actually visited in the summer! Bathing suits were packed, but so were many many other layers…

PUZZLING SUBMISSIONS PLEASE!

Recently we’ve been “puzzling in puzzling places” and we want you to help us make our next compilation video! Grab your favorite puzzle, your phone, and maybe a friend, and film yourself putting a few pieces together in a fun place. Perhaps while on the subway, in a canoe, or maybe just in the middle of the supermarket. Just film it vertically on your phone, send it to us here and we will include it in our next video!

With summer in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, take a peek at these summertime chronicles that are sure to have you craving some frozen treats, lazy pool days, and outdoor adventures.

COMMUNITY CORNER

It seems everyone has been buttering up popcorn and taking to the theaters to celebrate Wes’ latest film. Many of you also got to experience the pop-ups in LA and London and thankfully sent us photos & videos of your big night out! (And for those of you who dressed up … bonus points!) We’ve compiled some of our favorites so far…

With popcorn in hand and a cold soda to wash it down, it’s time to roll the tape on a very unique small-town movie complex that almost became a parking lot. Consisting of not one, but two historic theater venues, thankfully fate, family, and the efforts of an unlikely philanthropist intervened to save these stunning structures from certain destruction…

No you’re not in Italy, you’re actually just north of New York City where the exquisite 34-room, 20,000-square-foot Villa Lewaro was constructed by the first female self-made millionaire in the U.S., a Black American woman named Madame C.J. Walker…
