Yep, in a partnership with young adult retail brand ASOS, Crayola now has a line of 58 vegan and cruelty-free beauty products,
which includes “face crayons,” mascara, highlighters, and eyeshadow
palettes. Shades, such as Tumbleweed and Dandelion, match the names of
actual Crayola crayons.
Elle notes
the collection is “gender fluid,” citing a press release about the line
from ASOS. They also note that both men and women are shown wearing the
product in the campaign’s photos.
“Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.”
(From the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto, Bay Area Bisexual Network, “Anything That Moves”)

So maybe people can stop saying bisexuality’s inclusion of nonbinary folk is ‘new’. Signed, a bi nonbinary person.
I’ve been studying the classic black tie dress code (mainly from here) so I thought I could share my notes. Maybe they can be helpful to someone else, too. If I made any mistakes or things are really confusing please tell me. I also have some notes on white tie which I could share as well…
I recently started a project for a family trip to Disneyland this fall!! We are all going to were t-shirts with a picture (drawn by me of course) of the Disney character we most resemble. Merlin, Marie and Robin Hood are the ones I have done so far. If you’re in Disneyland this fall, look out for us ;-D
