Abraham, I get what you're saying, but there are times when it actually is kind of necessary.....Abraham wrote:cheezit ,
O.K. - it's just a topic to discuss.
Me, I find males wearing makeup a startling new phenomenon, unless there's always been some underground metrosexual movement I knew nothing of finding it's way into the mainstream.
I find it weird/disturbing.
I can't imagine any male friend or relation for that matter wearing freaking makeup.
Gag...
What next?
Guys wearing women's frilly clothing in public?
What happened to guys being proud to be guys?
There was one time about 5 years ago that I had to actually wear makeup. I was part of a music video production. We were doing an HD video recording of a live praise and worship concert at my church, and I was part of the band. Everybody in the band had to submit to the ministrations of a professional makeup artist before we went on stage, not for cosmetic reasons, but for lighting reasons. It was a two-night concert, so I had to submit to this twice. This was a total production. There was the music, of course, but also there was lighting effects, smoke, video projections, etc., etc. The guys didn't really need anything like eye-liner or lipstick or any of that stuff. It was just some kind of neutral color face-powder that cuts down on shine from facial oils because the lights were so bright. The girls had a field day and twittered and cooed like a flock of birds while being worked on. The guys were mostly just kind of embarrassed and tried to joke our way through it.
The concert was released on a two-disc set, one being a CD for your car/inhome CD player, the other being a DVD. The DVD also has downloadable PDFs of all the song charts, as well as short videos of the songwriters talking about how they were inspired to write each of the songs. All but a couple of the 15 songs are originals, written by various band-members. It was a pretty big production, and we have a large worship team, so we rotated 3 different bands through during the concert, doing substitutions at various points, all finely orchestrated just like a football team. I appear on acoustic guitar on songs #4, 6-10, and 12.
