Listen up, darlings—Ms. Rizzlerina is stepping out in red, white, and razzle-dazzle for a star-spangled rewind through America’s most fabulous Memorial Day moments! 💋💥
Honey, while most folks are firing up the BBQ grill or flexing their fit at rooftop parties, America’s heart beats to a deeper drum on this day of remembrance. Memorial Day isn’t just another long weekend – it’s the ultimate runway of honor for those who gave up the glitz and glamour and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. And trust me, they’ve earned more than a standing ovation—they deserve a full-on glitter cannon salute.
Now, according to our friends over at PopCrush (and you know I keep my ear to the tea kettle), they’ve curated a jaw-dropping collection of 50 iconic images showing how Memorial Day has evolved from simple remembrance to full-on national fabulosity since it officially became a federal holiday in 1971.
We’re talking about everything from small-town parades with Uncle Sam impersonators giving face, to military families wrapped in flags that shimmer brighter than my sequined jumpsuit. And don’t even get me started on the vintage poolside snaps—those sunnies! That hair! The fashion! Legends only, baby.
From Arlington to Anaheim, from somber candlelight vigils to fireworks lighting up the Hollywood Hills, these moments glisten with emotion. And the best part? Every snapshot tells a story—a love story, a loss, a legacy. It’s a national scrapbook filled with pride, patriotism, and yes, a little pop flair (because this is still America, sweethearts).
And while the allure of beach bodies and bottomless brunches is strong this season, remember—that freedom to serve cheek and sangria came thanks to someone who gave up theirs. So let’s raise our sparkling spritzers not just to summer slayage—but to the ones who made it possible.

Forever dazzling and always delivering—
Ms. Rizzlerina 💖
