Hey, I'm a girl, so I was really into Disney Princesses as a kid. Okay, I'm actually still into them. My little cousins think I look like Belle, which is pretty much the biggest compliment in the world to me. Now, a new exhibition is bringing Disney's most iconic costumes to The Henry Ford in Dearborn.
"Heroes & Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume" will be at The Henry Ford beginning June 25, 2022 and running through Jan. 1, 2023. The exhibition will feature decades of film produced by The Walt Disney Studios, Walt Disney Television and Disney Theatrical Group.
In total, expect to see 79 costumes from 32 films that were sported by 71 different actors. That's everything from ball gowns to military uniforms- and, yes, even glass slippers.
Some of the most famous costumes include Cinderella's ballgown, Jack Sparrow's outfit from "Pirates of the Caribbean," and Belle's ballgown from "Beauty and the Beast."

It's spring, and today it actually feels like it across much of Michigan. Of course, this is Michigan, which means at any given moment we could be graced with snow and ice, even mid-spring. But, right now, warm weather and ice cream are on the mind.
I simply love ice cream. It's probably my favorite food. The more chocolaty and decadent and cookie dough-laced, the better. Here in Michigan, we have an array of incredible ice cream shops, some that are open seasonally and others year-round. There's lots of ice cream to go around, whether you prefer soft-serve (not for me) or regular.
Pure Michigan has put together a list of the best ice cream shops in Michigan. If anybody knows their Mitten ice cream, it's Pure Michigan, since they handle all the touristy stuff around the state. Read on for the full list. The Pure Michigan crew was able to hit most areas of the state, including the U.P, so there are a broad range of ice cream shops on the list. I actually hope to hit all of them at some point, but that might be too unrealistic a goal!
I actually added my own picks to make this list 20, since some of the Pure Michigan picks have sadly closed. My main pick was the MSU Dairy Store on the campus of Michigan State University. If you're ever in East Lansing, it's really something you have to experience. They make all of their own ice cream, and since MSU is an agricultural college, you know it's some of the best-tasting stuff around. I also included Quality Dairy, which is known for its fantastic ice cream around mid-Michigan. If you have a favorite ice cream spot that was left out, reach out to me on social media and let me know.
