The theme of this year's vision board is "bet on yourself every time" because I went through a lot of situations where I didn't think that I could get through, but I did, and now I would bet on myself every time.
The two rules I'm going to live by this year are "you are that girl" because I think when I wake up in the morning and believe that I am the moment, then I am, and when my confidence waivers other people can tell, and so I'm just going to choose to live in that truth.
"Find your fight" because I love when I feel strong and I want to cultivate a lot of strength this year and my friend did tell me that you can either serve victim or you can serve cunt, and I want to be serving cunt this year.
I have a picture of myself as a baby because I want to remember where I came from and then this is a little crazy or a lot of it crazy but I downloaded that old FaceApp and I put myself as a granny because there's a thing going on in TikTok right now about considering your future self and I think I'm one of those people that is constantly like "Oh, I'll worry about it later" but I want to make Granny Dylan's life as easy as possible, so I want to keep her in mind during all of this.
Next let's start with lifestyle - I want to be in nature more, I want to go camping because I feel like there's an innate queerness when I'm in nature and I just feel safe there and I think it'll help my anxiety. I've got to change my diet this year, I need to start eating vegetables, because I truly eat pizza and skittles for dinner and it has to change because it's going to catch up with me. I don't think a lot of you know this but I was a yoga instructor a few years ago and I would love to get back to doing that. I went into classes after like a series of really bad hookups and I went and signed up to be in the teacher training program um and now it feels like a good time to go back.
This is like a couple dancing [it's 1950s teenagers] and I would like to slow dance with somebody [sings "I wanna dance with somebody"] no but seriously I would like to be in a relationship because I hooked up with people last year and it didn't really spark that much joy um and I know that it is kind of embarassing to like acknowledge that you do want a relationship but I think you should be able to say that and I don't want to get married or anything super serious but I would like to go to the movie with someone and dance.
These are the dolls [it's Bratz dolls] and they're not actual dolls, I mean my trans doll sisters. ["the dolls" is zoomer slang for trans women/drag queens] because I made a lot of really amazing trans friends last year and I want to cultivate more energy and just friendships with them. I would love to do some doll dinners and I just think trans people need other trans people in their life cause I definitely do.
Lady Gaga is the only woman that transferred over from last year's vision board - we're just meant to be together. I swear to God, I just love her, I think we're gonna love each other, I would love to meet her this year. This is Chris Colfer [Kurt from Glee] and this is a bad photoshop picture of me duetting with Chris Colfer [the person he's photoshopped over is wearing a Japanese schoolgirl uniform]; it's on my dream list this year, Chris is a good friend of mine and hi Chris, if you're watching this, I'm guilting you into singing with me - I just think our voices would be so pretty together, so hopefully that will happen this year.
I want to read more books this year and nothing too intense, but maybe start a book club on here? I don't know let's talk about it.
Next we've got my career and I want to have my pop star era [there's a photo of Hillary Duff] I want to do my Lizzy Maguire thing; this is what dreams are made of, and I want to have a Stars Or Blind moment. I think 30 years from now it would be so fun to look back and have a pop song to like play in a gay bar. I would like to do a trans Legally Blonde The Musical concert. I just think after auditioning for a lot of Broadway shows last year, I can see how just kind of not ready commercial theatre was for trans people and I want to make that better. I want to figure out how to do existing pieces of theatre and put trans people in there and change the keys to music [I am rooting for a PhilosophyTube crossover] and just make it work because we have to. And I think it would be so cool to have a trans Elle Wods, a trans Emmett and a trans Paulette and I think doing a concert version of this would be a really fun project to like show commercial theatre what's possible for trans performers.
The pink beer. I want to get back into the beer space [PLEASE DO] and I want to do it my way - maybe that's my own beer company, maybe that's a collaboration, but I think it's very obvious that there's not really a beer brand right now for the girls, the gays and the theys - I want to have a very feminine beer moment, I think that we need it and it's lacking [this is like something out of the 1970s when they tried to market "beer for women"].
This is a little piggy bank and I just wanna get smarter with my money, I want to diversify my income, I want to learn as much as I can about finances and that's something that I would like to do this year. This is an empty little theatre and I'm dying to get back up on stage, I'm planning to do a one woman show at some point this year - I've started kind of working on it and the moments last year where I got to go up on stage were the best in my life and I need more of that - and more frequently please.
This is sort of a late night talkshow vibe and this is what I want my podcast to be this year - something really adult but still really tasteful and retro [there's a black and white production still of what appears to be The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson] and me and so that's going to be the vibe. This is [there's a photo of a man cinched in to a 1950s Dior style outfit] more into fashion beauty territory now, this is Mr Pearl, he is like an incredible corset maker and I don't know if I'm going to be able to get him to make me a corset but I just think that having some little curves would be really awesome - you know, the hormones are helping but any extra help I can get would be great. I want to go to Europe Fashion Week this year [there's photos of Paris and Milan - also there is not a "Europe Fashion Week", London, Paris and Milan fashion weeks are the big ones] whether that's Paris or Milan. I've had my fair share of New York Fashion Weeks now and I think it's ready to graduate. I've worked with some really amazing brands that do shows over there now so hopefully that will happen this year.
I'm planning to grow my hair out long, I want a one length situation at the bottom and I think I'm going to stay blond. I do kind of - I'm tempted to go ginger but for now we're going to keep it blond. And then this is a cut crease situation on Twiggy and I kind of get better at eyeliner last year but I want to focus on crazy eyeshadow and the cut crease would be top of my list for that.
