Androgyny
 

Does anyone have any idea how to make this ugly bloke:

Look all cool and androgynous? Style/makeup suggestions?

Slick the hair back with gel and put some lipstick on that pout!

1. Slick hair. It should also be dyed as black as possible, and done straight back. Think Jamie Lee Curtis as the hooker in "True Lies".
2. Eye shadow and eye liner. Mascara, but subtly.
3. Wardrobe is probably most important. I suggest that you review a lot of Bowie pics from the 70's. You *are* thinking Bowie, here, right?

Of course I'm thinking partly Bowie, but really, you could completely tell bowie was a dude. I'm not setting out to confuse people, but I do want it to not be obvious at first glance that I'm male.

Okay...well, hiphuggers with a little bit of depilated belly exposed by a tapered shirt, and you're gonna need to do the "tuckunder" with the willy. Some facial makeup which accentuates the cheekbones, making them look higher, would also help with the illusion.

Your features are rather soft to begin with, and you have the glow of youth about you, so I don't think it is going to be very difficult to achieve the look you want. Do you know anyone who is into theatrical makeup? Consult with them.

Why are you doing this? Is this a new, permanent lifestyle look, or is there a party coming up?

I've been trying, slowly, to make my image more and more effeminate and androgynous, but it hasnt done much, so i'm gonna jump ahead. Permanently, if I decide I like it.

pluck them brows, yo!

Shorten the hair on the sides and top, layering down to the nape of your neck (ditch the long hair in back). Could dye it if you want (or bleach some or all of it), then slick it straight back with wet-look gel. Tweeze the brows a little and put a stud earring in each ear.

That looks like a button up Izod style shirt. Dump it. Wear shirts without pockets or buttons on them. Plain, without decorations, in dark solid colors.

I know a couple of females who dress like this and they look like they could be either gender. I'm only positive they're females because of the extra curves in front.

That shirt is actually my button-up Jim Morrison shirt, but point taken.

Earrings and haircut I'm not so cool with.

How about a face transplant?

Just joking, dude.... just joking.

Get the brows professionally tweezed/waxed.

But...why?

What's wrong with being a manly man?

Report to Maggie for gender counselling.

I think you should go for the Bowie look.

I think you look lovely as you are.

I do think that there is a question which bears asking...Ibram, do you *feel* androgynous? I mean, is your sexuality itself somewhat ambiguous at this point in your life, or are you planning on playing a part?

Having some notion of the purpose of your plan to change your outward expression might be enlightening...or at least generate some prurient interest.
