'Beauty boys' undo makeup gender stereotypes
Press Democrat ^ | 19 Oct 2016 | AMANDA HESS

Posted on 10/20/2016 8:51:06 AM PDT by rey

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.

Why is nobody condemning the childhood sexual molestation that leads to the confusion among gays?

My bet is the overwhelming majority of these males were molested or raped as children by an adult man or older boy.

Molestation creates homosexuals.

Because the molesters and their enablers control the government, the media and the "education" industry?

These are what we call “Men” nowadays? It’s unbelievable where the culture has taken us in such a short time. Rewarding mental illness by promoting and rewarding behavior like this.

There was a mini fad for this in California in the 1970s. “Experimenting” with homosexuality was encouraged too. Back then it was presented as totally free choice, as between ‘vanilla and chocolate ice cream’, was the proponents’ sickening analogy.

Neither fad lasted long. I had a high school classmate blow his brains out in the family bathroom from remorse. I always felt bad for him and for his mother, who heard the noise and discovered the scene.

Blatantly mainstreaming homosexuality. Disgusting.

“Why is nobody condemning the childhood sexual molestation that leads to the confusion among gays?”

Because our PC culture keeps the silent majority silent, those that attempt to condemn such behavior are condemned by the MSM/Govt/Education/Hollywood/Uniparty establishment.

Those caught in between may become fags themselves, or experiment with it, or whatever. This is the group being targeted by the homo agenda.

Suspect Trump will make some effort to clean this mess up.

These freaks make me nauseated just looking at them. Is it wrong to hope they get hit by lightning or a meteor??? Because Earth would be a better place without them.

Distant and cold - or cruel - fathers create them, too.

David Bowie did this in the early 1970s. Then we had Glam Rock in the 1980s. Boys putting on makeup has been going on for 50 years. No one cares anymore. Will Smith’s son runs around in a dress. He isn’t making some “courageous” gender-bending statement. He just looks stupid. So do these clowns. These will just be pictures that their kids pull out and laugh at 20 or 30 years from now.
