Those Lips! Those Eyes! That Stubble! The Transformative Power of Men in Makeup By AMANDA HESS
NYT ^ | OCT. 18, 2016 | AMANDA HESS

Posted on 10/19/2016 2:50:25 AM PDT by detective

My favorite person 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. He does this every week. He calls it “Fat Bitch Friday.”

AXS TV has a series called “Reel to Real” (or maybe it’s the other way around). Last night’s episode on Bob Dylan featured the old folkie by the name of Maria Muldaur, who in describing the Greenwich Village/Washington Square scene in the early ‘60s, recalled how it was a “hip place” where people could be openly gay. Fifty-five years later, The NY Times thinks it’s 1962 Greenwich Village! Conclusion: The NYT is gay.

Men prancing around in make up has occurred in history before and it is always connected with the debauchery of a culture.

... or kabuki theater.

old folkie by the name of Maria Muldaur,

Now there's a name (and a voice) I haven't heard for a couple of years or so ... She was something, back in the day.

More of a blues girl than folk, to me ...

Nice pic of Maria Muldaur there. That was when she released “Midnight At The Oasis”, which was a mainstream pop hit.

She started as pretty straightforward folkie and bluegrass, although there was always a bit of overlap. Muldaur is married name from the Kweskin Jug Band guy.

It’s not long before possession of testicle will be a capital offense in this country. Unless, of course, they have been removed against the original owner’s will.

The ancient eunuchs used a lot of makeup too.

If that’s your idea of a man, then you’re welcome to him. Maybe you can swap pantyhose and lingerie too.

Because I hate to be the one to tell you, but your pajama lad is just a fag.

So the pretty boy has peanut butter and grape jelly in his package....Smuckers....Schmuckers...Ok. Got it.
Maybe even a few NYT writers are signaling a bit of passive-aggressive resistance to the LGBT agenda.
