✨ A night of magic, memories, tiki vibes, and a very special birthday celebration at the Magic Castle. ✨
I was so honored to celebrate the incredible Princess Irene Larson—cofounder of the Magic Castle—on her 90th birthday in the Inner Circle. It was an especially rare opportunity to capture photos inside this iconic, normally no-photo venue. From hearing her beautiful memories and enjoying birthday cake to watching unforgettable live magic, the whole evening felt truly enchanting.
The celebration had the most festive tiki theme in honor of Princess Irene’s love of all things tiki, making the night feel even more colorful and personal. 🌺🍍🍹 The biggest surprise: one of the Magic Castle’s theaters was officially christened the Princess Irene Theatre in her honor. 👑
And somehow, I even found myself onstage at the Palace Theatre helping with a magic trick… talk about being part of the magic! 🪄Happy birthday, Princess Irene! As someone who shares your name, I obviously had to be there for such a legendary celebration and thank you, Ted Ushirogata , for the invitation to such a magical event!

The universe is so much bigger than you realize… and somehow, it led us to Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan. 🌀✨
For the occasion, my friend Kiet and I stepped into the multiverse as Evelyn and Waymond to celebrate Ke’s new memoir, Never Say Die. Hearing him in conversation with Octavia Spencer was so meaningful, and we were already thrilled to get our books signed—then Ke surprised us with a meet-and-greet afterward, making this full-circle Everything Everywhere All at Once fan moment even more special. 🥹
What’s your favorite Ke role: Waymond, Data from The Goonies, Short Round, Gary the Snake, or another one? Waymond Wang will always be my favorite Ke role, with Gary the Snake from Zootopia as a very close second. 🐍

First day of school = BTS… and then BTS at SoFi Stadium. 💜✨ A true double BTS day—and honestly the most Dynamite way to kick off the school year!
Before heading to LA, I got ready in my purple-and-white modern hanbok that I bought in Korea specifically to wear to this concert. Finally getting to bring that vision to life!
The energy inside SoFi was unreal: a packed stadium, great performances, and such a lively crowd. Some of the ARMY were also kind enough to gift me little gifts, which was such a sweet touch and made the night feel even more special.
The surprise songs of the night were “Love Maze” and “Silver Spoon”! So happy I got to experience my first BTS official concert! My heart’s so full. 💜
Have you been to a BTS concert?

✨ Game day, but make it comic con chic! ⚡️🦸‍♀️
I am completely obsessed with the brand new Wonder Woman Football Tee from the exclusive San Diego Comic-Con collection by Her Universe! Featuring the number 41 as a subtle nod to 1941—the iconic year Wonder Woman first made her comic debut! 💥 The vintage athletic aesthetic combined with pure superhero energy? It’s an absolute 10/10. Grab it at the SDCC Booth ( # 1314) or online at HerUniverse.com! 🛒💨
