One of the most compelling people on Instagram these days is a guy who matches his makeup to his snacks.
His name is Tim Owens, but online he goes by Skelotim, and he is a bald, perma-stubbled man who knows his way around a contour kit. Last week, he posted a video of himself applying dark purple eye shadow, sky-blue eyeliner, fluttery fake lashes and a bold grape lipstick. Then, after shooting the camera a succession of saucy glances, he raised a packaged Smucker’s Uncrustables peanut-butter-and-grape-jelly sandwich, revealing his culinary inspiration for the day’s look.
Watching Skelotim at work is mesmerizing. He slickly sets his makeup routine to pounding pop music, transforming from a regular dude into a sparkling vision of the fabulously strange. It’s just like Cinderella twirling around and around until she finds herself wearing a poufy blue ballgown, except Skelotim is changing into a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto. In the age of the selfie, what more appropriate canvas is there for an internet artist than his own face?
Skelotim is one of a handful of young men who have primped and preened their way into the female-centric world of Instagram and YouTube makeup artistry. Angel Merino (1.2 million Instagram followers), a celebrity makeup artist, rocks glam, high-gloss looks and possesses an almost supernatural grasp of flattering camera angles. Jake-Jamie Ward, YouTube’s 24-year-old Beauty Boy, favors a more naturalistic approach; his popular video primer “Makeup for Men” includes tips on blemish concealing and beard navigation. And Patrick Starrr films elaborate makeup tutorials for YouTube (where he has 1.7 million subscribers), then heads over to Instagram to post pictures of himself frolicking in Las Vegas and Bora Bora.
No matter what these guys are doing, it feels a little bit electric. A man celebrating himself in makeup is subversive.

“Because the molesters and their enablers control the government, the media and the “education” industry?”
Don’t forget the entertainment industry, which increasingly is including professional sports.
You chose a sick subject and capitalized on natural curiosity to point normal heteros in FR to a site called press democrat, with no warning.
WHY ?
This was front page in this paper.
But everybody here loves David Bowie. there were all sorts of wonderful comments concerning Bowie and his life upon news of his death.
We need to bring back the draft
There is simply no reply that can fully encapsulate how F’ed up this is.
And thanks to 20-something females, this CAN ACTUALLY BE A THING!
When I was a kid calling any guy a “pretty boy” was a fight-starter. Men, we gotta take our territory back!

And he may have lied about his age and is actually 17.
Fair enough. This was front page in my local paper. This is the stuff they are cramming down our throats. This is what is going to be showing up in our schools and encouraged. I thought it was important to see what is coming at us.
I don’t seek to capitalize on this. I do appreciate the comments of others on this site. Some are instructive and insightful, others just mean and silly. I appreciate the former.
I don’t seek to gross anyone out, as disgusting as this may be. Do you ask the same over a story concerning a cop leaving a dog in a car for three days, the latest ISIS execution method, the Mexican drug cartel’s torture of their foes? They are all disgusting and disturbing too. I think they are important signs of where we are going.
Sorry to upset. Thanks for your tempered criticism. Be happy I did not post today’s Duffleblog post on the new Marine Corps slogan.
Because he had some actual talent, 2) it was part of his stage act, 3) it stopped when the 70s did.
There is a difference between KISS, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Bowie, and this mess.
“Why is nobody condemning the childhood sexual molestation that leads to the confusion among gays?”
I haven’t even seen the media admit to this, but it’s very true.
When our Terrorist in Chief and Hellary bring on WWIII, it won’t turn out as well as the last two times. Fox holes will take on a whole new meaning.
She has Groucho eyebrows?
Gays realized the over the top “leather chaps and drag queens” stuff that we saw in the news coverage of gay pride events was distasteful to most americans so they put it away for a decade and pretended that all gays were like the ones on Will and Grace: white, middle class, young, sweater wearing suburban family men. Now that they got their major political whims accommodated, the mask comes off. Flamboyant is back in fashion, the leather chaps are coming back next.
That they would have any interest whatsoever in procreation seems highly unlikely to me.
Also, Bowie spent the last years of his life as a devoted family man. He did all that experimenting only to find in the end, that was the best kind of life to live.
Here in PA, our solicitor has advised against discussing the transgender bathroom thing the Supreme Court has not ruled on yet.
I appreciate the heads up and especially YOUR cordial reply.
I can't tell them apart.
Seriously, as annoying as she is, I find her face to be quite beautiful. This loser should ask for his money back.
