Happy Friday, Pocho fam! 🌞 This week we’re looking at life from new heights—literally!

And hey, if you’re feeling a little rusty en español, I’ve got just the thing to keep your language game sharp. Let’s jump into this weeks... 🎡✨

PICTURE: 📸

The newest faris wheel in CDMX

I took a picture of Aztlan 360, the new addition to the newly opened Aztlan Adventure Park in Parque Chapultepec. The wheel is 85 meters tall and puts on a colorful LED show after sunset. Azlan is like Belmont Park in San Diego, free to walk around with fun rides, including a rolorcoster, for purchase.

OPTIMISM: 💖

COOL FIND: 🕵🏽‍♂️

Cool Find: Pachuco Pride at the Met Gala 🎩✨

Chicano designer Willy Chavarría turned heads (and made history) at the 2025 Met Gala with a bold, Pachuco-inspired look—think sharp double-breasted pink suit, detailed green tie, and a wide brim hat that screamed cultura and resistance. Teaming up with Maluma and honoring the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” Willy brought Chicano swagger and powerful storytelling to one of fashion’s biggest stages. Check out the full reel over on @hip_latina and see how our style has always been resistance. 💅🏽🎶💥
