Palm Springs this weekend is basically a live episode of Girls Trip: Desert Edition. The sun is shining, the champagne is chilling, and the group chat is already messy. International Women’s History Month means we’re celebrating icons, queens, and main characters only — whether that’s tennis champs, fashion girlies, derby badasses, or drag brunch divas.

This weekend? We’re reclaiming main-character energy. We’re doing it for the girls, the gays, and the theys. Let’s go.
