Widening the bandwidth of being male

I posted this quote from cbb on the ginuwine thread:
Andrew said (about dragging up) that as a “heterosexual male from the north” he wanted to “break that gender barrier between a heterosexual male drinking beer down the pub called Dan and Dave, and bring in this heterosexual male who’s comfortable with himself…”

So, I thought it would be fun to create a thread for us all to post our favourite examples of this.

Conchita Wurst - it is a drag act but he is proudly not transgender and a gay icon.

This is a great thread. I was looking for a pic of a man with a glitter beard when I found this article on a photographer who's made up men in a really kitsch OTT way for an exhibition.

This article by the Smithsonian is really interesting about when and why pink and blue began to be used for girls and boys respectively

And exhibit B: Phil Oakey.

In fact a large percentage of early 80s musicians/singers...

Adam Ant knew how to do makeup. Much more than I did.

Gorgeous. (And still is)

Another lip sync battle one that springs to mind is Channing Tatum as Elsa!

Pretty much every guy I went out with during the 80's. No photos I'm afraid.

There is nothing new about any of this, what's new is the need to go back to the attitudes about women from the 17th century
