      Hetero female here who LOVES the look of guyliner! If I were single & Adam Lambert is as bi as he says he is, I would do him in a second!(Unfortunately I married a guy who’s 0% flamer)
      Maybe it’s because I went through puberty to a soundtrack of Alice Cooper, The Cure & so on.

          Firstly: HOT!
          Secondly: A jacket like this was worn by one of the anarchist gangster type bad guys in Mad Max
          and Mad Max seems a bit steampunk to me.
          But STILL! The clothes weren’t the steampunk part of the movie; the vehicles, buildings & tools were the steampunk part.
          I don’t believe all these sellers are confused at all actually. What does the etsy “404″ screen say? “blah blah try searching terms like feathers or steampunk blah blah” right? So a seller who wants to show up in lots of searches just uses those terms. (Same as people who sell $40 paintings, but one painting is $200,000- it’s a search engine game! They’ll be up first if you list it by highest to lowest) That sort of switcheroo reminds me of Rick Rolling… I dub it ” Steam Rolling “

          no i did not.. she was a nice lady actually… the only thing unfortunate was her hair was very dark.. and some times she ran late.. so no shave. awkward…

          i also once knew a lady glass artists who had as flat a chest as that man. she liked ladies..and drugs. and black dudes.. and booze.. and very old men… .. she was “complicated” or maybe just confused. it was hard keeping up with all the changes she made while she was selling her wares in my store front… she eventually got some little boobs when she stopped doing drugs and made a pretty girl.
