Come celebrate the special 30th anniversary screening of "Clueless" with the film’s iconic costume designer Mona May. May will discuss her new book, "The Fashion of Clueless," with "Breaking Into New Hollywood" co-author Ada Tseng during a post-screening Q&A. A book signing will follow. Synopsis: "Clueless" is a coming-of-age teen comedy that is loosely based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel "Emma," with a modern-day setting of Beverly Hills. The plot centers on Cher Horowitz, a beautiful, clever and rich high school student who befriends a new student named Tai Frasier and decides to give her a makeover. Ever since hitting screens in 1995, "Clueless" has reigned as one of the most inspirational fashion films of all time. From Cher’s sunny yellow plaid Jean Paul Gaultier skirt suit to her sleek, fitted red Alaïa dress, every outfit defined a teen who revered fashion as much as her friendships. Add to that BFF Dionne’s legendary head-to-toe looks and a few magical makeovers, and "Clueless" was cemented as a classic film with incredible clothes at its core.

The Día de los Muertos celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center is a weeks-long community festivity that preserves the Day of the Dead tradition, itself a millennial practice. This celebration began in 1994, when Sr. Domingo Sandoval, a local resident approached the Center requesting a space to create an altar in honor of his loved ones during Día de los Muertos. Over the years the festivity has grown to include onsite community altars, front-yard altars throughout the neighborhood, craft workshops, online tutorials and videos, an activity guide, student tours and food tastings, a procession and fundraising event. The tradition is a joyous occasion when the memory of our ancestors and the continuity of life is celebrated. Festivities run from mid Oct- Nov. 2nd and are open to the public.
