Subject: BOYS IN MAKEUP!!!!!
Written By: Rio_Rhodes on 04/22/04 at 6:45 pm
Back by popular demand! (Vile) ;D
This is one of my favorite subjects to talk about, and think about, like I'm sure others do! So, The question is, who are your favorite painted boys? You know they drive you crazy! You think about them all the time, so, reveal who they are here!
Oh yes, and please feel free to leave pictures!!!! DON'T DROOL TOO MUCH!!!!
My favorites are:
Adam Ant (First and foremost!)
Martin Gore
Nick Rhodes
John Taylor
David Bowie
Gary Tibbs(an ant)
Terry Lee Mail (another ant)
David Sylvian
And there are probably more! I just can't remember them all now!
Oh yeah, how do you post pictures up here now? Some have tried and can't do it, so I'm just curious.

You know this is a subject I can't resist....!
The truth of the matter is that the best made up men were from the '70s. Namely Bowie at the time of Aladdin Sane and Marc Bolan of T. Rex.
In the '80s, Marilyn, David Sylvian and Adam Ant were all pretty good with the rouge and mascara. Boy George was, erm, variable. Robert Smith of The Cure was possibly the worst made-up man I've ever seen.... :D
all the best

She shouldn't have said all those mean things.

Nick and JT are too cute for words! They are such lovely men. BTW, did you guys know that John was in some movies?
First, he was in "Sugar Town" (a great movie, by the way, staring one of my favorite actresses, Roseanna Arquette) in 1998/99. A year later, he was in two indie flicks, "Four Dogs Playing Poker" (which has been on cable alot lately, mostly on Showtime and The Movie Channel; he is so hot, especially when he's eating the pizza!), and another one with Barbara Hershey, which I'm not too familiar with. And that same year he had a small part in "Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas", a very cute film, but worth it to hear JT say, "How old did you say you were?" At the end of the year, and the beginning of 2001, he appeared in two consecutive VH-1 movies; first, he played a very sexy ghost of Xmas present in "A Diva's Christmas Carol"(this is my personal favorite of JT's films, even though he's only in it for a couple of minutes) and he played a rock star who trashes a hotel room, but gets his commupence in "Strange Frequency". And he did a straight-to-video movie called "Vegas C.O.D.", which I cannot find anywhere! And, he guest starred on one of the final eps of Fox's "That '80s Show". I love that he's back with Duran Duran making music and all, but I really hope he does some more acting. And, I would love to see Nick break into acting, as well....(maybe even do a sexy love scene or two...)

Also......."Diva's Christmas Carol" hasn't been on alot this year, b/c they had to make room for all this "Fabulous Life Of..." and Britney Spears crap! And, it's kind of hard to find on DVD/video.....so, b/c it's been on alot lately, I highly recommend "4 Dogs Playing Poker". John has a small role in it, but theres a scene where he's in a car with his partener eating pizza. Boy, I love watching men chew!

In all honesty.........in 1985, when Arcadia formed,and Nick Rhodes had the longish black hair, and the eccessive makeup, that really turned me on. That is one of my alltime fave Nick Rhodes looks!
He actually reminded me a little bit of Johnny Depp from "Edward Scissorhands", only slightly cuter.
The "Election Day" video where he's walking around with the candle holder and when he's acting as the "lion tamer" are a couple of stand-out moments 4 me.
Also, Robert Smith from the Cure is one of my celebrity crushes for some odd reason. Theres just something about him.

After much searching, I have found a picture of someone who could quite well rival both Nick Rhodes and...<gasp!> yes, even Martin Gore (although that's a hard act to follow!!)! A man after whom Nick must have modelled his look! None other than...
DAVID SYLVIAN!

I totally agree with what you said about Nick modeling his look after David Sylvian's somewhat. The resemblance is very striking! I do like David Sylvian, he is a hottie! He doesn't break my top 3 though! That is unshakeable!!

I wonder how Rush copes with all this idol worship, Vile, lol. My girlfriend is always harpin' on about Colin Firth or that bloke from Wet Wet Wet, Marti Pellow (though she says he's let himself go a bit these days) and I can honestly say I'm reaching for the medicine cabinet by the end of it. :D
She gets it back though. We were walking along where I caught eye on a pub sandwich-board advertisement where a woman's cleavage was hanging out and she had to drag me up the road. :D

Well, usually he's like, "Oi! Stop that! No drooling!" :) I think he takes my idol worship with a grain of salt. Besides, I do most of my drooling when he's not looking. ;D ;)

Bringing this topic back from the depths of Page 14...
Here's someone I think looked fabulous in makeup when he wore it from the late '70's to early '80's: Warren Cann...drummer for Ultravox. He didn't look too bad without it either! Makeup suited him a lot more than it did Midge, but then Midge had that awful thin mustache to go along with it as well. Icky.
Anyway...here's Warren from the back cover of the Vienna LP, 1980. Check out the strking eyes!! ;)

No no no....
It was David Bowie back in 1972 when he had his Ziggy Stardust persona who brought the whole men wearing makeup and gender-bending to the forefront. That was the birth of Glam. Since then, bands like T. Rex, Roxy Music, and Gary Glitter began to follow suit. After that, in the late 70's - early 80's, came the birth of the New Wave/New Romantic movement. That's when you had groups like Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Japan, Duran Duran, and...yes...Culture Club. They continued the trend. But it was Mr. Bowie who started it all...and gained a lot of controversy for it as well!

In my humble opinion, there's a difference in the way they all presented themselves. Boy George clearly set-out to make more than just a fashion statement of slight rebellion. First impressions can be definitive. He set out to cause controversy by attempting to make one guess his gender, initially. ;) That is why, IMO, he stands-out as the main performer to have brought it out in the open in the 1980's. Through the magic of MTV, it was ever so much more prominent. I still remember to this day when kids would see Duran Duran, they would be immersed in the beauty of their videos - knowing these were men; whereas, with Boy George's videos, they were preoccupied trying to figure out if the performer was a guy or a girl. I think, ultimately, that's where the distinction lies.

If this is so, then this is another classic example of already good looking guys getting surgery they don't need. If anyone needs to get plastic surgery DESPERATELY, it's Nick Rhodes. HE needs to correct that enormous honker at the tip of his face, his bad thinning hair, those enormous fish lips and his height!!

I wore make up in the '80s. Not in the Pete Burns tranny fashion, more in the Robert Smith pre-Goth fashion. It was a strategy against the rednecks. I figured if I was a little weird they'd keep hassling me, but if I went over-the-top weird, they'd get a kinda freaked out and back off. Had varying degrees of success with that. Of course, they still rattled by intheir souped-up Monte Carlos and yelled "Hey f*ggot!" They did that before I wore black lipstick and goth assemblages for second-hand boutiques in Cambridge. It didn't seem to matter that I wasn't gay. They were gonna say it anyway!

I never called myself a punk or a goth (the term goth was barely in currency then). I just said it was "a statement of my individuality and belief in personal freedom." A few years later, Nicholas Cage's "Sailor" character said that very thing about his snakeskin jacket in the Lynch movie "Wild A Heart." I never had a snake skin jacket, but I did have a respectable black trenchcoat, but I never really looked good in anything!
