... Like Adam Ant (watching him now) - is he not like the original Johnny Depp? Guys in make-up ... like Marilyn (1980s), Marc Almond, Gary Numan!

Do you reckon people have slipped off for some 'alone time'? Grin

teraspawn · 27/05/2011 22:17

Oh agreed. Men in eyeliner are what I am all about.

Disclaimer: I am bisexual, so maybe it's just that.

Eowyn · 27/05/2011 22:17

Pete Murphy from Bauhaus was the Maxell tapes ad. Richard O'Brien cooler & camper than Ed Tudor-Pole. IMO.

Tambern · 27/05/2011 22:19

Eowyn, your name reminds me. Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings as Legolas.

Eowyn · 27/05/2011 22:21

ooh, totally agree.

chubbly · 27/05/2011 22:23

If by alone time you mean a flashback of Ed Tudor pole falling up some stairs in the Aztec zone. :)

Is Damon Albarn allowed in this thread?

LordOfTheFlies · 27/05/2011 22:27

nijinsky you can have Damon( is he Blur?) if I can have Nick Heyward ( Haircut 100) but in his cute,dimply big-jumpers-tucked-into-his-chinos-days. Not as he is now.

Tambern · 27/05/2011 22:29

I should think so. As is Chris Corner

Though this man is undoubtedly the most feminine looking popstar I can think of, and I worry that I find him so attractive link

Haystack · 27/05/2011 22:31

Oh yes just love the eyeliner look, even better with long hair, dangerous cheekbones and lithe hips. Agree with many above, however my own personal favourite is Jared Leto, so beautiful but clearly spends far too much time in front of the mirror.

Dh once looked like this ..........

nijinsky · 27/05/2011 22:33

Damon Albarn and Alex James. And Graham Coxon. In fact all of Blur, taking it to a whole new level:

Tambern · 27/05/2011 22:35

Alex James, mm oh yes. Brett Anderson as well. And Jared Leto in Requiem for a Dream. What is it about eyeliner that makes them so much better?

squeakytoy · 27/05/2011 22:36

Billie Joe Armstrong.... mmmmmmmm

Sqee · 27/05/2011 22:37

Martin gore from Depeche mode? Or did he just take it too far?

LordOfTheFlies · 27/05/2011 22:37

F*ing hell, my DS has the look of Damon A about him( its the eyes when he looks up coyley) I'm going to have to hide my make-up. As if I haven't got enough to worry about with Sats and Secondary places...........

mummissinghermind · 27/05/2011 22:40

Grin campy,love it.

muminthemiddle · 27/05/2011 22:43

YANBU-Nicholas Holt is also on my list.

yukoncher · 27/05/2011 22:50

I will not be attracted to any guy, unless he has long hair, ever. It's always been this way.
Eyeliner can be pretty cool too, lol

yukoncher · 27/05/2011 22:50

and boys who wear string necklaces, and coloured blacelets :) :) :)

Tambern · 27/05/2011 22:51

This is why I don't get people who complain about men being too metro nowadays. Bring it on I say!

TimeWasting · 27/05/2011 22:58

DH used to wear more make-up than me on a night out when we first met. Grin

So, anyone here a fan of the film Velvet Goldmine? Grin

VforViennetta · 27/05/2011 22:59

I love a bit of manliner, Brian Molko was gorgeous, not so nice lately though. Jared Leto is my all time crush, ever since the days of My So Called Life, me and my sister would sit and swoon every week.

I do like long hair on a man, Dp is rather bald though, but I'll forgive him, he had long hair when he could grow some Grin.

LordOfTheFlies · 27/05/2011 23:00

What about Matt'Dr Who'Smith?.
Bit geeky,longish hair and in a poor light I'd swear he was Juliet Stevenson9 Truly,Madly,Deeply) in manclothes.

VforViennetta · 27/05/2011 23:01

I also fancied that bloke from whatever obscure 90's band did that spaceman song, he wore a silver skirt and was ever so pretty.

VforViennetta · 27/05/2011 23:03

Just googled, was babylon zoo, yep still fancy him Grin.
