“Im thinking the real opportunity in mens accessories is going to be prosthetic testicles.”
They are called neuticles.
lol... RE: neuticles: I should have read farther down before I posted the same thing...
I did an on-camera television program for a year or so. I absolutely hated putting on the makeup. Quit doing it after a while, and the camera didn’t really notice.
Heck, I don’t even like makeup on women.
For this crowd, balsa wood would be a significant upgrade.
Will they criminalize hate speech against me for laughing and directly asking “what the ____ do you have on your face girlfriend”?
He didn’t wear makeup when he was on his boat, or at the bar where he drank. He wore it while working on the movies. That is not the same at all.
