Guyliner


Yeah, you'd think this would be well on the way out, but you'd be surprised how much I see around LA still. Maybe it's 909'ers in town for the weekend, but I don't think so.

Listen, the trend was tolerable about 5+ years ago. Not acceptable, but we looked the other way. And there was the occasional rock star that pulled it off.

Then Billie Joe Armstrong started doing it and you're like "dude, you're too old to be wearing makeup of any sort, and the skinny tie is way out of style already, guy."

But when Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz does it, time to check yourself. And when Jordan Catalano (his emo-ness coming out of left field) sports it, it's really a dead trend. He wears crocs for chrissakes! Do you really want to align yourself with that?

So that was 1-2 years ago. Why are you still doing it? And being goth is not a free pass. That shit is only OK if you're under 18 or living in the 80s or early 90s.

Let's cut it out, OK?
