The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night. He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask. Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick! There was a super thin body under the mask! Could this be a clone of Nikocado? Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting? Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan. At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead." He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

The Met Gala took place on May 6th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art here in New York. Many believed that this year’s gala had a double theme. “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and “The Garden of Time” were the two themes that celebrities on the red carpet dressed for. Vogue editor at large, Anna Wintour, actually issued an apology over the confusion regarding the themes. The new exhibit that was being highlighted is called “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the dress code for the 2024 Met Gala was “The Garden of Time.” Quite a few celebrities dressed for what they believed was a “Sleeping Beauty” theme. It appears though that the actual dress code was "The Garden of Time." Some managed to incorporate both themes and this was pretty cool to see.
Green Fashion was out and in full effect on this year’s green carpet. There were a number of looks that incorporated natural materials such as glass, sand, wood as well as flora and faun. Here are the green looks that completely won in the best dressed department! Not only were these individuals the best dressed, they were the most ethically dressed.
Designer Olivier Rousteng for Balmain featuring Ellie Fanning
Designer Olivier Rousteng continues to outdo himself in the world of fashion. He seems to be able to work with any raw material to mold and make them into beautiful forms of fashionable art. This French fashion genius designed Ellie Fanning’s gorgeous Met Gala outfit and made it from glass and resin. The dress’s mermaid silhouette fit Fanning to the tee. On her shoulders, there appeared two delicate glass sculptured birds.
The dress was truly a sight to behold. On her social media account, Fanning provided a short caption describing the meaning behind the look. It read, “A glass statue stands in her garden, so delicate she could break. But with help from a few friends—the birds, Cartier and Balmain—the Sleeping Beauty is dressed & forever frozen in time…” 😍
Designer Olivier Rousteng for Balmain featuring Tyla
The next green look produced by Olivier incorporated natural sand for Afro beat pop star, Tyla. Olivier used an innovative technique which incorporated sand and micro crystals fitted precisely to her body’s measurements. The gorgeous sand gown was made via precision sculpting and was designed to hug every curve, dip, ebb and flow of her body.
At times, Tyla had to be carried by Met Gala event assistants as it was a bit hard for her to move around freely. In her hand, she carried a glass hourglass purse that had sand falling through it. This entire look embodied the Garden of Time dress code perfectly. Life is like the sand. We humans are billions in number but time is short and life is but for a moment. Fans of the designer and pop star got a peak into what became of the dress by the end of the night when Olivier released a snippet showing him cutting the gown into a chic mini dress.
See how Tyla got ready in her sand gown:
Designer Alexander McQueen featuring Zendaya
Zendaya has always been the queen of the Met Gala. Year after year, with the help of her longtime stylist, Law Roach, she steals the show with a conversation-starting outstanding garment. For the first time, she wore two beautiful and daring looks to this year’s Met Gala and was also a featured co-ambassador. She walked onto the green carpet wearing a Maison Margiela cobalt blue and emerald green tulle gown that was adorned with fruit and leaf embellishments.
If Eve from the historical garden were to make a fashionable time machine appearance in this present world—I’d imagine that this is what she’d pop out looking like! For her second look, Zendaya was seen wearing an Alexander McQueen floral bouquet hat and a Galliano designed black Givenchy couture gown.
What can I say other than that---the hat stole the show!!! Completely. Who knew that roses could not only smell so good but also wear so well?! RIP Mr. McQueen. He’d be so proud if he were still here.
Designer Aurora James for Brother Vellies x Wiederhoeft
Aurora James designed this beautiful grecian draped gown with natural wood. The bodice, made from natural wood, looked like a corseted feminine breastplate that featured a wooden cala lily flower. How delightfully chic!
This was among the most innovative looks of the night. Aurora accessorized the gown with wood and pearl jewelry and a wooden clutch.
Aurora disclosed that she was actually named after the original Disney sleeping beauty. Wood has always been an element that has inspired her and her collections.
Designer Marni for Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj might have been the green fashion queen at this year’s Met Gala when she walked onto the carpet in a cute and whimsical Marni yellow floral dress. The yellow silk duchesse dress featured 3D flowers made from recycled aluminum cans. Nicki looked every bit of a gorgeous yet quirky doll in this yellow number. Onlookers couldn’t help but to lock their gazes on the dress which featured so many beautiful hand painted recycled aluminum flowers.
Not only was this Marni look a captivating and eye-catching number, it was also a vision for what the future of fashion needs to be and look like. Nicki has recently become a fixture in the world of green fashion when she released her sneaker line with LOCI last month. The sneakers are made using eco conscious materials such as bio leather, recycled rubber and ocean plastic. Nicki has been on a role since the release of her album at the end of last year. Hit album release--Check. World Tour--Check. Eco Conscious Sneaker line drop—Check. Best Dressed at the Meta Gala wearing eco conscious materials--Check. Nicki is checking off all the boxes and I’m sure we all can’t wait to see what green look she will sport next!
Madagascar developed an herbal drink and introduced it on April 20th. It is being hailed as a cure for COVID-19 in Africa. WHO has licensed many herbal medicines for the treatment of various illnesses. The president, Andry Rajeolina, became irate because WHO made no mention of the herbal drink. Matshidiso Moeti, regional director of WHO office in Africa, stated “We have offered to support the design of a study to look into this product. We are in discussion to sort out the way forward,'' Covid Organics was developed by the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research (IMRA) and the drink has been shipped to various African countries such as Chad, Guinea Bissau and Nigeria.

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models. During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives. This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer. Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table. We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered. After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!” Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month. A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat. Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles. Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions. The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings. The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms. The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking. The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
