The 2025 Mess Gala - Part Two!

5 days ago | iheartmess.com | Emily Kirkpatrick

Hello!I’m back in your inbox once again. My sincerest apologies for the onslaught of letters this week, but you know I had to do it to ‘em. And by “it,” I clearly mean churning out content at a relentless pace and complaining at length about some of the most boring and excellent outfits I’ve seen all year. Thanks to the gala and this rainy weather, I’ve had absolutely no personal life to speak of.

Hiii,Welcome to the first installment of my in-depth coverage of the 2025 Met Gala!!! Today we will be taking a long, hard look at all of my most and least favorite dandified outfits of the night. Thank you to everyone who tuned in on Substack and YouTube to chat with me for almost three hours straight. The replay is available now on both platforms if you want to stage your own viewing party. It was so much fun, I would definitely do it again.

Greetings from another beautiful May day here in Brooklyn. The cool thing about being a professional writer — or any type of full-time creative, I imagine — is that if you ever need to accomplish a long list of deeply tedious errands, all you need to light a fire under your ass is an impending deadline for your actual work that pays you.
A 2025 Met Gala Primer

Hello!As we cruise towards the Met Gala red carpet next week (which I will be livestreaming on YouTube and Substack), I was thinking that it might be helpful for all of us to talk through the theme of this year’s event so we can understand and critique these celebrity costumes a little more acutely.
AI in healthcare: strengthening risk governance for board directors

This moment calls for more than awareness; it demands accountability and active governance of AI at the board table. The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across the Australian health and aged care sector presents enormous promise, but it also brings significant responsibility for boards.

G’day, Messketeers!Hope you’re enjoying a gorgeous spring day right now wherever you are. It’s been so nice out here in BK that I’ve picked up jogging again. I am very literally a fair weather runner. I exclusively want to move my body when it is exactly 60 degrees with a light breeze outside.

Hi!Welcome back to another week of utter hell and incompetency. The world may be burning, but I do need to share with you these images of Fran immediately because since we last spoke she got a blowout and it simply demands to be seen:I hope this mountain of floof and this stupidly gorgeous ear bow brighten your day a little bit. To cope with reality, I decided to kick of my week in a truly decadent fashion.

Good day, gentle readers. Thank you for once again allowing my foul and slatternly prose to infiltrate your sacred inboxes on this cloudy Friday afternoon. As I write to you, the construction drones on outside my building as promised, and my already feeble mind continues to weaken, also as promised.
