This is for nonbinary people who are also fans of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, lol.

I found out that there is a Transgender & Nonbinary Club in Saitama city (near Tokyo) and their community flag looks like the antithesis of UK flag (esp since UK is being so TERFy lately) and it has sent me into laughs because I think that’s AMAZING.

It seems like they have a meeting (both online and offline) once per month so if you’re in Saitama or near Saitama and looking for company of other trans and nonbinary people, this might be a good place to visit! :)

Dolly Levi’s gold dress in Hello, Dolly! (1969)

Costume design by Irene Sharaff

This year’s Met Gala would have been the perfect opportunity to recreate this gown or something reminiscent of it. Not only is it period-appropriate: 1890s (albeit the Gilded Age reinterpreted through a 1960s lens for a big,splashy musical), but for the literal minded: it’s gold. Very gold. Apparently the dress has almost 10 lbs of 14K gold thread, as well as Swarovski crystals and rhinestones, to make it look so sumptuous on screen (Some of the gold thread can be seen in the choker Streisand wears).

(Piece of trivia: All the gold made it heavy. When Dolly walks down the stairs at Harmonia Gardens, it has a train. Unfortunately, the train had to be removed for the musical number so that Streisand could do the choreography and the other dancers wouldn’t step on it.)

But you wouldn’t even need actual gold thread to make a stunning outfit. Put a long train on that thing, sweep your hair up and put in a few extravagent feathers, and you’re ready. 

this whole situation is very funny
