A Guyliner Expose

Posted by aubin on Friday, June 8, 2007 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

The folks about Double Viking have put together an interesting little story for a quiet little Friday afternoon. As you gear up for a weekend of frivolity and chastity, take a moment to read this article which looks at the growing menace of "guyliner."

A choice bit from the article:

Jared Leto used to be a name that meant something. He was in American Psycho. Requiem for a Dream. Fight Club. Leto was in numerous kickass movies, and it appeared that he might be the next rising star of quasi-independent film.

Then he started wearing guyliner. He formed the band 30 Seconds to Mars and disappeared off the Hollywood radar for a year or so. How does one go from getting the shit kicked out of them by Edward Norton to being Colin Farrell's subservient boyfriend in a bad Oliver Stone movie?

Check it out here.

Someone (June 8, 2007)

i didn't read the article, but did they mention mike ness in it? i'm just saying that there is video evidence of hime pulling this shit way back in the early 80s. there is a whole segment in another state of mind devoted to his eye makeup technique and motivations. look it up.

skaboom (June 8, 2007)

It won't get big. As much as emo kids love to conform to whatever noncomformist trend is big these days, it (presumably) takes a lot of confidence to wear it in public, something most myspace scene boys will never have.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2007)

I know a girl who looks just like Jared Leto in that picture. It's really horrifying.
Make up worn by men in an effective manner:
Kiss
Sting
The Ultimate Warrior (before going insane)
The Legion of doom
(Wrestlers...good ones)
The Joker (no matter if you believe the white face was make up or he used the tan make up to cover his white face)
Navy Seals

TommyTumult (June 8, 2007)

Was The Ultimate Warrior ever not insane?

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2007)

I don't mean "How should I prepare for this event? Should I jump off the tallest building...Should I go to Africa and be trampled by raging elephants?", insane.
I mean, "Queering don't make the world work", insane.
-Dante

Someone (June 8, 2007)

Hahahahaha...oh man, I am ashamed for knowing exactly what you're talking about. Why is it that I care enough to follow the trainwreck lives of my former wrestling heroes? Haha.

MaxEThunders (June 8, 2007)

The Joker wasn't wearing makeup he fell into a vat of acid and came out that way.

Check out my myspace blog on this matter if you get bored enough to hang yourself.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2007)

List of dudes who think make up is okay but it isn't (not just emo kids):
Renaissance Fair Guys
Rocky Horror guys
Dudes who pant themselves for sporting events.
The current Misfits line up.
Figure Skaters
Pizza delivery guys
People who are way too into "The Crow"

why a pizza delivery guy?

ChokingVictim (June 8, 2007)

Haha, before I saw the post was from you, I thought "Dante" was another person on the list.

Stop wearing makeup, Dante!

iandisurvive (June 8, 2007)

how did 30 seconds pull off the ultimate trick? their first album was album was bad tool nu metal with cheesy samples and "spacey" keyboards. leto was wearing a fucking astronaut suit with an eagle on it back then. whats this emo scarves shit/pussy singing and how did he get away with it?

the guy is thirty five years old and banging hollywood coke sluts every night. whats to be emo about?

ChokingVictim (June 8, 2007)

The number of guys who banged the same hollywood coke sluts before him, that's what.

Someone (June 8, 2007)

That shit was funny. I can't believe people do stuff like this. Make up is for bitches. I know all of you know at least one person that wears guyliner and hope you make fun of him. Especially all you high school scenesters.

Thank the lord I do not know anyone that wears eyeliner other than females...wait are you telling me that people OUTSIDE of bands do this?

You think it trips your mind out when you watch it at home? Try watching it in a court-mandated DUI class...my sick sadistic side had to be restrained during the jennifer connelly scenes cause I was sitting next to a 50 year old woman...it was, how do you say...awkward as fuck....

Someone (June 8, 2007)

i find it odd that everyone freaks out about the pete wentz lesson on applying eyeliner but nobody ever said a word when Mike Ness did it twenty years ago in another state of mind

JayTee (June 8, 2007)

Ah, just saw this comment, apparently I'm not the only person alive who notices this.

TheeValiantRA3 (June 9, 2007)

yea, but i bet mike ness was on way more drugs than leto, wentz, or the whole lot of them combined. and that makes it okay...kind of...

iandisurvive (June 8, 2007)

the guy who write the article is a retard.

"Do you listen to bands like The Smiths or Joy Division while pretending that (A) their music is actually enjoyable and (B) you knew about them before they were cool?"

i personally dont know anybody who wears guyliner but i bet they listen to as i lay dying and avenged sevenfold. too bad the smiths and joy division are actually great bands. morrissey might be a bit fem but i think he skipped out on the make up.

Notice how Mike Ness always gets left out of these complaints?

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2007)

He's what's known as "man pretty".
Plus he did it 20 some odd years ago before it was the thing to do. And, when he did it he looked like a dude in eyeliner not a guy trying to be a woman.
This is better than this or this or this and totally this.
See, man in eyeliner not shemale.

Someone (June 8, 2007)

no matter what, every time i look at davey havok, i think it's a woman then realize it not and really feel like throwing up

Someone (June 8, 2007)

shut up dante

i'm impressed with your image collection of men in eyeliner. can i borrow that sometime

Dante3000 (rich) (June 8, 2007)

I'm not sure why you would want to, but you can have it anytime you want.
Just make send your internet request to me through google images and you can have all those and more.
-Dante

Someone (June 8, 2007)

The only proper way for a man to wear makeup is to look like a prostitute.

Fuzzy (justin) (June 8, 2007)

Hey, anyone else so uncomfortable with their own masculinity that they need to call males that wear makeup fags and girls? AWESOME.

What a bunch of close-minded, repressed, conservative jerks.

TheeValiantRA3 (June 9, 2007)

although i understand your point, i do believe a line has to be drawn somewhere(no pun intended, honestly) and really, it's just not attractive. shit, i think certain girls should be prohibited from using the stuff.

Albert_Belle (June 9, 2007)

Oh, that's just something that people who wear eyeliner say, quit trying come off like you're some kind of a victim.

pwfanatic37 (June 9, 2007)

a little editorial bias is nice here and there but at least have it go to something that is worth reading.
