Hanging with Los Henry (again)

Welcome back to another edition of the Los Henrys beat. When we last left, the San Antonio family had just thrown Papa Henry a $4.5 million bash for his 56th birthday, which is a weird birthday to spend millions of dollars celebrating, but who are we to judge? DJ Khaled was there and so was Cardi B (post Saturday Night Live baby bump reveal). There were fireworks, and a young pop star named Austin Mahone, and a chartered yacht that sailed off into the night. (All of this is true.)

But another week, another Henry event. This time, it's not a multimillion-dollar birthday party the family is touting but instead news of Maya Henry, the daughter-turned-model-turned-actress vying for her spot among the Kardashian/Jenner/Hadid elite.

On April 19, Maya the model made her debut on the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Alta Sartoria catwalk. (Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria are the perennial fashion house's men's and women's haute couture lines, respectively.) The show made its debut in early April with an extravagant four-day affair in New York City and will now hop around the globe repeating in places like Mexico City's Soumaya Museum. While Maya didn't walk in the New York show (the opening slot was reserved for supermodel Karlie Kloss), the Henry daughter did sit in the front row, so there.

Back in Mexico City, Maya left the cheap seats behind to sashay away in a couture D&G gown accented with flowers in her hair, reminiscent of Frida Kahlo or Coachella circa 2016. Maya walked and didn't trip and nothing happened, and then someone wrote a press release about it and here we are.

As for the rest of the Henrys, dad, Tom; mom, Azteca; and bro, Thomas sat front row to watch Maya's runway debut. No word yet if the fashion show will appear on their Bravo — oops, we mean YouTube — series, Hanging with Los Henrys.

Ready for Harvest

New farmers market and yoga classes stretch into St. Paul Square

St. Paul Square is historic, but keeping up with the times.

San Antonians have a fresh way to pick up groceries and artisan goods at St. Paul Square with the addition of a new farmers market. It will be free to attend in the central courtyard every Sunday from 9 am to 2 pm.

Shoppers will be able to browse produce, handcrafted goods, and ready-to-eat treats by farmers, bakers, and artisans, according to a release. Suppliers will come from San Antonio and other places in South Texas.

This recurring event is just called the St. Paul Square Farmers Market. It's attributed directly to St. Paul Square, which is not just a neighborhood destination but an organization developing the historic district. Part of the purpose of the new programming is to support local businesses, as well as drawing in visitors.

The area was founded in 1778, and now includes all kinds of modern and retro attractions like the popular Francis Bogside bar, several eateries, 1902 Nightclub, and live music venue The Espee.

Donation-based yoga classes on Sundays from 9-11 am give even more to to do at The Espee's courtyard (1174 E. Commerce St.). They'll be led by Bendy with Lenny, and guests joining in will get to choose between a gentler slow flow in the earlier slot, and a higher energy class in the later slots.

“Our team is excited to introduce a series of new programs this winter aimed at enriching and uplifting our local community," said St. Paul Square managing partnerDon Thomas in the release. "We invite residents from across San Antonio to join us at St. Paul Square this Sunday to kick off the series and enjoy supporting local businesses as we enter the holiday season.”

The debut St. Paul Square Farmers Market takes place November 17 at17 Heiman Street.
