SirDavis Takes NYC: Inside the Brand’s Signature Holiday Moment

by Nyah Davis December 14, 2025
written by Nyah Davis

SirDavis American Whisky stopped by The Oculus bearing a gift of an experience on December 12th and 13th. The whiskey brand had Beyoncé fans and enthusiasts alike buzzing about A Signature Pour: The SirDavis Holiday Experience. Guests in NYC were invited to celebrate the brand with cocktail samplings, personalized bottle bands, a photo with the iconic robot from the Cowboy Carter Tour, and a bottle of SirDavis.

Superstar, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, joined Moët Hennessy to bring SirDavis to life in 2024. The singer-songwriter has since promoted her whiskey brand in her Cowboy Carter Tour.

Many have been curious about Beyoncé direction in business ventures, as she promotes her fairly new spirits brand. She told GQ in September 2024, “I’ll never forget the first day I had whiskey. It spoke to me nice. I remember thinking, Why have I never had this before? It was strong and warm, just the right amount of challenge. I loved the process, the ritual of it. Whiskey isn’t something you just shoot down. It’s a commitment. You gotta have patience. I like that.” The singer continued, “And I love the stories that come with it. Every bottle has a history. I also like introducing whiskey to people who don’t know they love it yet. I think a lot more women would love it if they tasted it, and if they were really spoken to by the whiskey world.”

With Beyoncé’s passion for the American award-winning SirDavis, there’s no doubt that her brand has gained the likes of many.

SirDavis’ Holiday Experience provided guests with a taste of their signature cocktails including Sleigh Bell, Espresso Martini, and Honey Bee. Participants also had the opportunity to purchase their very on SirDavis bottle to compliment their personalized band.

What’s a tastemaker event without capturing the moment?  As a final touch, the iconic robot from the Cowboy Carter Tour made a special appearance, pouring classic SirDavis Whisky into guests’ glasses while adding an immersive, futuristic touch to the installation.

From personalized details to immersive moments, the SirDavis Holiday Experience embodied the brand’s bold, intentional spirit. In true Cowboy Carter fashion, SirDavis proved it knows how to leave a lasting impression…especially in New York City.

RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Glamorous Season 18 NYC Premiere Unites Newcomers and Legends

by Jonathan Tolliver December 12, 2025
written by Jonathan Tolliver

There are people born the year RuPaul‘s drag race premiered who are now able to vote. People who have had the show their entire existence. What a wonderful world.

New York City celebrated the 18th season of the show with a star studded soirée featuring 14 Brand New queens vying for the crown – Athena Dion, Briar Blush, Ciara Myst, Darlene Mitchell, DD Fuego, Discord Addams, Jane Don’t, Juicy Love Dion, Kenya Pleaser, Mandy Mango, Mia Starr, Myki Meeks, Nini Coco, and Vita VonTesse Starr.

Aqua Roma hosted a night that was full of surprises and nostalgia, a mix of old and new, as our fresh-faced competitors were joined by 16 previous winners from both regular season and all stars franchises –  Alyssa Edwards (Global All Stars winner), Angeria Paris VanMicheals (All Stars season 9 winner), Aquaria (season 10 winner), Bebe Zahara Benet (season 1 winner), Ginger Minj  (All Stars season 10 winner), Jaida Essence Hall (season 12 winner), Jimbo (All Stars season 8 winner), Kylie Sonique Love (All Stars season 6 winner), Monét X Change (All Stars season 4 winner), Nymphia Wind (season 16 winner), Onya Nurve (season 17 winner) , Sasha Colby (season 15 winner), Sasha Velour (season 9 winner), Symone (season 13 winner), Willow Pill (season 14 winner), and Yvie Oddly (season 11 winner).

Hosts Ross Matthews, TS Madison and Variety’s Senior Culture and Events Editor Marc Malkin kicked off the night hyping up the crowd for some of these queens’ first public appearance since the new season was announced.

One by one, they strutted their stuff in front of a ravenous and frankly thirsty crowd. Sheer madness in our eyes.

It’s so tough for me to guess which of these queens is a front-runner because they all felt like stars. Though I can’t help but root for Kenya Pleaser basked on vibe alone. Hey auntie! 

A mother daughter dance of sorts ensued, as our new queens were paired with the veterans in a runway presentation befitting one of the show’s fabulous finales.

 Then, from the shadows: ‘We’re from the same place.’

‘The Bronx?’

‘The world.’

The ever outspoken, iconic and inspirational law roach appeared from the wings to join our queens and hosts in the final toast before we turned the night fully over to our DJ. Making his entrance while quoting the year’s best meme? Legendary.

Electricity hung in the air as we saw the start of 14 new careers being launched into the stratosphere.

I’m a drag race is superfan and will be tuned into every episode, and I suggest you join me. Viva la dieciocho!

IKEA OPEN HOUSE MIAMI

by Nishat Baig December 12, 2025
written by Nishat Baig

Last week IKEA hosted their OPEN HOUSE during Miami Art Week to unveil their upcoming  GREJSIMOJS collection available for purchase in February 2026. The upcoming collection features fun textures, funky designs, and bright colors. This bold and loud series was designed with playfulness in mind, which was brought to life in Miami. IKEA OPEN HOUSE featured a fun claw machine photo booth, a light room photo booth, a fun and innovative Pink Rebel pool filled with pink and white cushions and lifesavers, a live DJ set and complimentary drinks and lite bites like Swedish meatballs. There was an emphasis on texture, color and whimsy that made the night even more enjoyable. Not only that, guests got to enjoy an up close and personal look at the upcoming collection while having fun. From mirrors to mugs to giraffe lamps, this is by far one of the most imaginative and creative collections IKEA has ever dropped that allows consumers to embrace their inner child! In addition to the wonderful night, guests got to take home pink furry IKEA goodie bags filled with exclusive presents from IKEA and a cute little reminder that the collection will be available soon!

Instagram Partners With Slawn to Bring Canvas House To Life

by Nishat Baig December 12, 2025
written by Nishat Baig

Last week Instagram partnered with talented creative Slawn to bring the immersive Canvas House installation to life during Miami Art Week. Slawn and Instagram invited guests to become a collaborative part of this amazing activation allowing guests to pick up a mask, some gloves, a can of spray paint and let loose on the white plastered walls in Canvas House. While Slawn tagged the outside of the house, guests expressed themselves inside in an installation that embodied Instagram’s platform through Slawn’s medium. This event also marked a first for the talented artist who had never done an entire house before. Unlike most of the other festivities during Art Basel, Canvas House gave each guest the ability to become part of the artwork leading to an unforgettable night. Special guests included Mia Khalifa, Pepe Garcia, Maurice Kamara and more! The evening also featured an open bar and live DJ set providing vibes throughout the night. Canvas House was also a gathering of tastemakers and art lovers from music, fashion and culture coming together under on roof to create something together. In recent years Art Basel has become more famous for its parties than anything else, but this experience was unlike any other during Miami Art Week in that it brought the focus back to art.
