Pride celebrations were in full swing throughout New York City last week, and The Knockturnal was on the scene, or should I say in the pool, for one of the hottest ones.
Last Thursday, Dimes Club kicked off Pride Weekend with captivating music and exceptional cocktails. Hosted by Seven24 Collective, the event featured music by the renowned DJ Eliad Cohen and was co-hosted by Mezcalum and reality TV star Erin Lichy. The evening was an electrifying celebration of inclusivity, community, and music, setting the perfect tone for upcoming Pride festivities.
This Wednesday evening, Gottmik hosted “Pride on the Park,” a stunning kick-off cocktail party to Pride Month at the Darling Rooftop of Park Lane New York.
Pretty in Pride.
On Wednesday, June 5th, Lyft partnered with Stud Country to kick off Pride Month and celebrate queer joy with a bright pink bang and a performance from Kesha at Brooklyn Bowl.
The Knockturnal attended Hornitos Tequila Out and The Advocate’s 2024 Cover Party: “Pride of Broadway” to celebrate the LGBTQ+, allied theater community and its June cover star – Jonathan Groff!
Two icons team up to bring you an expertly curated box filled with a blend of summertime essentials. The Paris Hilton x FabFitFun collab brings valued members a personalized ‘Summer of Sliving’ experience (slaying + living your best life = ‘sliving,’ as coined by Paris).
Speaking on the collab, Paris Hilton said,
“I’m excited to team up with FabFitFun because they’re all about feeling fabulous while living your best life. Together, we’re hoping to inspire everyone to embrace their unique journey, find their bliss, and slay their way through summer with my personalized Summer of Sliving kit, complete with my favorite essentials.”
This summertime takeover box, curated by the iconic Paris Hilton herself, features a nod to Pride Month with a rainbow-infused aesthetic, and I am ‘sliving’ for it.
Packed with summertime goodies galore that fit perfectly with the theme and captures the essence of Paris, this box features the following products.
- Topicals Faded Under Eye Masks ($22.00)
- Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50 ($24.00)
- CYLO Record Player Speaker ($59.99)
- Dime Optics Cienega Aviator Sunglasses ($30.00)
- Eight Other Reasons Star Earrings in Silver ($64.95)
- Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla Beige ($24.00)
While everything in this box was delightfully fitting for the summer, my personal top faves were the Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50, the CYLO Record Player Speaker, and the Topicals Faded Under Eye Masks.
The sunscreen is a luxurious, ultra-fine mist that allows you to easily touch-up your sun protection while out and about without laying a finger on your face.
The speaker is adorable, and better yet, I love that all the pieces are functional; the record player arm is what powers on the speaker, which I thought was a nice touch. Perfect for any barbecues or beach fun I have planned this summer.
I’m also loving the under eye masks. As someone who’s always on the go, these eye masks stay put, allowing me to do other things while beautifying, and that’s something I really appreciate.
With a retail value of $224.94 and a cost of a $59.99, this box gives you more than your money’s worth.

Last week, style brand alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet hosted its fifth annual pride party. The theme for this event was “Camp Pride” and was hosted at The Close East Lawn in Manhattan. In typical alice + olivia fashion, the entire event was decorated with bright colors from the rainbow that featured the iconic alice + olivia logo. And in the spirit of pride, the event also benefited the Ali Forney Center which aims to provide resources and support to homeless LGBTQ youth.
