Yes, one of fashion's biggest nights occurs every 1st Monday of May. If you are not sure what the Met Gala is, I'll break it down in simple terms. The Met Gala is a fundraiser event that raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A bunch of A-list celebrities are invited by Vogue's very own Anna Wintour for a dinner and show but are expected to show up in their best attire.

This year's theme is camp. It's not a style that is very popular in the mainstream culture but when it comes to queer culture, it is extremely influential as it stems from the ball culture scene and black drag queens in New York. It is between the thin line of unconventional and glamour. Here are some of my favorite looks of the night.

Harry Styles

From being one of the youngest co-chair hosts in the history of the gala, he really turned looks with this gender-bending look.

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita really took camp and defined it with this look

Ezra Miller

From the makeup to the outfit, it brings fashion to a whole other level.

Zendaya

Zendaya took it back to her Disney years but interpreted it into a different way.

Jared Leto

I guess this look is AHEAD of it's time.

Ciara

The hair completes this look and goes well with the green feathery look.

Billy Porter

Billy looks like an Egyptian god in this all gold look.

Kacey Musgraves

The princess of country brought Barbie to life.

Darren Criss

Darren never disappoints with his looks and he did not disappoint this time either.

Lady Gaga

The queen of night and the most talked about celeb of the gala. Gaga turned it out and performed a whole show with her 4 different looks on the carpet.

Camp can be interpreted in multiple different ways and these are just some of the looks that I really thought embodied the style.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
