Sigalit Landau created this art piece by submerging a traditional 19th-century black wedding dress into the Dead Sea which became gradually crystallized over the span of two months (2014).

ya gotta stop caring what people think and start being extremely weird. but never cruel. i think that might save you

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Candy Darling, November 24, 1944 – March 21, 1974.

“Candy was very pretty. There was something very poignant about Candy as she embraced the imagined life of an actress. She had Kim Novak’s looks and was ahead of her time. Tragically she didn’t live long enough to see the time she was ahead of. A pioneer without a frontier as Andy (Warhol) would have said.”

/ Patti Smith on Candy Darling in her book Just Kids (2010) /

To commemorate Trans Visibility Day (31 March 2025), a portrait of haunting transgender Warhol Superstar (and the world's biggest Kim Novak fan) Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974) by James Hamilton. For anyone interested in Darling’s story, Cynthia Carr’s 2024 biograph Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is required reading.
