Shock horror! 80s gender bender thinks gender fluidity is ‘a load of crap.’

The pile on doesn’t seem to have begun yet, although I think the genderists might have a hard job picking on Mister Marilyn.

Those of you thinking Marilyn was dead, are you thinking of Pete Burns?

Olgatheoptimist · 29/01/2019 20:09

Plenty of lads I knew rocked eyeliner, lippy and something glamorous on a night out
Yep me too! Fell in love with my husband who the first time i saw him was wearing high heel boots a billowy shirt and had shoulder length hair - gorgeous!

God he still has eyebrows to die for. Shock

WrathofRancidKlopp · 29/01/2019 20:14

Oh yes Boy George was, and still is lovely.
As a man.

No I know pete Burns I genuinely thought Marilyn had died a few years ago.

zen1 · 29/01/2019 20:15

I thought Marilyn had died but then I realised I was getting him mixed up with Pete BurnsBlush. Loved all those guys in the 80s.

GenderIsAPrison · 29/01/2019 20:17

Marilyn just gain himself a follower.

What I don’t understand is, why does Marilyn get the reaction he does and yet Alison Moyet got the reactions she did on Twitter?

Purplewithgreenspots · 29/01/2019 20:18

Sorry, I got confused. I was trying to work out what all this had to do with Marilyn Manson. I’ll get my coat...

Anlaf · 29/01/2019 20:21

I haven't just gone through all of Marilyn's twitter photos but he and his 'uvvah arff' are NOT BAD LOOKING FELLOWS WHAT WHAT

hipsterfun · 29/01/2019 20:21

To be fair, there was a period when he wasn’t exactly living the fullest of lives. Maybe that’s it?

Marilyn: ‘I sat in a room for 20 years, taking crack and watching the Alien films’

RJnomore1 · 29/01/2019 20:23

A bit off topic but how good does he look!!

WrathofRancidKlopp · 29/01/2019 20:25

I was reading his thread today too - he’s good to his mum!
Careful there, so were the Kray twins and Saville. Grin

‘I sat in a room for 20 years, taking crack and watching the Alien films’
Should pop that on Style and Beauty. How to look great in your 50s.

That article is a riot - I didn't know Gavin Rosedale went out with Marilyn?

Anlaf · 29/01/2019 20:29

sorry - Gavin Rossdale went out with Marilyn

MrsJayy · 29/01/2019 20:37

Gavin Rossdale denied it for years he called Boy George a liar after his book came out!

pachyderm · 29/01/2019 20:42

So glad to read this. I was lucky to be a teenager in the 80s with all those beautiful gender-bending preening birds of paradise like Marilyn. I cannot believe how far we've regressed.

ChattyLion · 29/01/2019 20:44

yay - truthful and fabulous Mister Marilyn

Anlaf · 29/01/2019 20:48

Just posting here as aide memoire for anyone who can't quite remember Marilyn.

Atalune · 29/01/2019 20:49

I don’t get Twitter......but the linked website in the profile is a soccer betting one?

Also I don’t think it’s marilyn Manson. Is that who people think it is?

NeurotrashWarrior · 29/01/2019 20:49

I thought it was Marilyn Manson at first. He was just a bit before my time or I wasn't aware of him.

NeurotrashWarrior · 29/01/2019 20:49

Cocolepew · 29/01/2019 20:52

Cocolepew · 29/01/2019 20:53

Apart from Neurotrash obviously Grin

I’m glad there’s a thread on this! I saw it earlier and was delighted.

If anyone could have hitched themselves to the trans/gender-fluid bandwagon and called themselves a trailblazer (looking at you, Eddie Izzard) it would be Marilyn. But no, he’s a man. A feminine man. A feminine man who likes make up and uses a female name. Still a man.

We need more voices like this.
