South Dakota Dakota Fanning Flag

Dakota Fanning was one of the stars in the Eclipse -2007.  She plays as an evil Jane, a member of the Volturi which are the Vampire Police.  By neat coincidence the flag of South Dakota has the seal of the state eclipsing the sun.  Therefore, Dakota Fanning makes a nice fit for the South Dakota Dakota Fanning Flag.

The hazy outside represents the Sun's glowing corona, which you can only see during an eclipse. 

Note that Dakota Fanning is not from South Dakota. She was born in Georgia.

North Dakota Dakota Johnson Flag

It's another celebrity flag!

Starring Dakota Johnson on the state flag of North Dakota.  She has appeared in several movies like 21 Jump Street 2012.  Her most momentous recent claim to fame is in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey as Anastasia Steele 2015-2018.  The Dakota Johnson North Dakota flag is missing the ribbon and eagle body.  But the wings are conserved, making Dakota look like an angel.  She is holding the shield with arrows and olives in her left hand and waving with her right. 

She is a Royal Ultra Violet Hollywood Starlet.  Ultra Violet Royal Starlets are lucky since both parents are already majorly established as stars, in the seat of pop culture.  In Dakota's case her father was Don Johnson and her mother was Melanie Griffith.  If one parent already made it in Hollywood, or has established fame in the modeling, or music the industry, then they are a Royal Blue Star.   Stars that have famous familial connections are Sky Blue Starlets.  For example Melissa McCarthy is a Sky Blue Starlet since she is cousins to Jenny McCarthy.  Stars that break into Hollywood on their own, without having famous parents, are known as Golden Starlets.  Case in point, Jamie Dornan who played as the billionaire playboy Christian Grey opposite of Dakota Johnson is a Gold Star actor.  Also, Dakota Fanning is a Gold Star, since neither of her parents were famous. And stars born with a silver spoon are Silver Stars, perhaps the best known is Paris Hilton.  Since her parents were extremely wealthy, she is an Ultra Silver Star.  The title Ultra indicates a larger magnitude.  Red Light stars are from the other side of Hollywood who enchant viewers with the power of Eros.  Usually, Red Light stars can not cross over into the mainstream pop culture, but a handful have.  

Basically, Gold Stars worked incredibly hard to the top of community consciousness, albeit harder than the other colours.  Most people who make it on American Idol type shows are Gold Stars.  Blue and Violet stars have a certain level of Hollywood Privilege.  Nonetheless, Blue & Violet Starlets have to work hard and don't necessarily have it all that easy.  Although they have an advantage, they have to bust their chops and butts to make it to top level celebrity.  Becoming a star is just not given, it has to be taken!

Note that Dakota Johnson is not from either of the Dakotas; she is from Texas.

Unprocessed Organic Vexilloids in Vietnam—"Eatable Flags! "

In Southern Vietnam where the Mekong meets the Pacific Ocean, a unique open water market has a set of el natural vexilloids.  Many land based places use flags to advertise, but in this river market a different kind of flag is used, the food flag—a flag you can eat.  The indicator vexilloid can be anything that is bought or sold, and they are attached to bamboo poles.

The best way to signal to others what type of product you are selling is to attach it high in the sky, so as to act like a beacon for others to see.  Maybe this is how the first types of vexilloids came into existence, to enhance business?  All endeavors need to float a business in order to work.  Business is the nuts and blots foundation of a society that come first.  Only after the establishment of a working economy...then you can have religion, government, a state, football, fancy architecture, video games, music festivals, and amusement parks.

These are all in one vexilloids that convey information, like any good flag.  And it conveys it in a universal language, that anyone with a brain and working eyes can understand, no matter whichever nation they call home—a pumpkin is a pumpkin. 

Here is one vexilloid that has several items on a pole.  This indicates that several different types of delectable treats can be bought.

Most vexillologists would categorize this flag as ugly, since simplicity is preferred.  But in order to convey more information this 'ugly' vexilloid does a good job.

See if you can spot the watermelon vexilloid.  If you didn't know, this boat has watermelons.  Like any good Korean flag, which usually indicates that a person of Korean heritage is about, this watermelon flag indicates the presence of watermelons.  However, you can not buy or eat a Korean person, but you can eat or buy a watermelon.

Extras, crabs on stick with string vexilloid with some type of leafy green and melon.  Looks delish!

The Thron, Þ Flag

The Thorn Flag is white, orange, and black.  There are three capital Þs since there are four digits in the ASCII code for this letter.   The code is 0-2-2-2.  This is fitting because Thorn reminds us so much of Thor, which gives us an impression of a lighting bolt.

Lower case Thorn has four different digits with its ASCII code which is 0-2-5-4.  The numbers are coded the colours according to the order of the rainbow.  Orange is 2 because it is the 2nd colour, cyan is the 5th colour, green is the 4th colour and white represents zero.

Oddly the lower case Thorn looks like it should be the upper case Thron?  It was as if the letter P and b had a baby.

Thursday/Þrusday
Thor/Þor
Thin/Þin
Three/Þree
Health/Healþ
Wreath/Wreaþ
Bethany/Beþany

The Ç Flag

The letter C can sometimes have a tial, which makes it into something new.  This letter is called the Cedilla.  Depending on the culture, the Ç can have a ts, sh, or s sound.  The flag is a tri-bar of red, orange, and black with a black Ç in the center.  The colours are based upon the ASCII colour metrics. 1-2-5 is coded to red, orange, and black.

But lower case ç uses different colours since it is coded to 1-3-5, which represents red, yellow, and cyan.

The Ð Flag & ð, Don't Forget to Cross Your Dees and Tees

The letter Eth (Th as in Then) looks like a mashed up E&D.  It is a vibrating th sound as is those, but not thin.  Did you notice that there are 2 th sounds in English, like f and v.  Yes, f and v are very similar the only difference is that V has bizzzzz bee vibration.  Also S and Z do the same thing.

The flag for capital Ð is a quad-bar of white, orange, white, and black.  The colours are based upon the numbered colour metric as referenced by ASCII.  Thus these colours represent the numbers 0-2-0-8.

The lower case ð has difference number sequence 0-2-4-0.  Consequently its flag has difference order.







Words that could use an Ð or ð:
Then/Ðen
Thou/Ðou
There/Ðere
Than/Ðan

The Flags for Ñ and ñ

Anyone who has studied Spanish will recognize this letter: Ñ, pronounced 'en-yay.'  This is the flag for the Capital Ñ letter.  It is a tri-bar of red, blue, and indigo.  In the middle in the capital Ñ letter in white.

On American keyboards there is an N and a ~ but no Ñ.  It is tempting to hold down shift or ALT to maybe get an Ñ.  Nope, the key is to hold down the ALT key then the numbers 1-6-5 and an Ñ will appear.  Red is coded to 1 since it is the first colour of the rainbow, indigo/blue is coded to 6 and sky blue/cyan is coded to 5.  This order of number to colours is based upon the order of the rainbow. Thus this flag is coded to the colour metric in ASCII for capital Ñ.

But lower case ñ has a different code.  It is 1-6-4 thus green appears on the fly.
