Jeffree Star

I was browsing around myspace music looking for some new music the other day. I clicked on the Top 10 list and saw some chick named Jeffree Star and clicked on the profile picture. Up popped this page that was white with this sickingly pink all over and a pic of this flat chested looking girl with bubblegum pink hair. Then through my headphones, filtered this uber-techno beat and this very mascline voice singing about being faomus and cupcakes. It was then that i realize that Jeffree Star was a man in women's clothing. (he's pretty much like Perez Hilton if he were slender and decided he wanted to be a singer).Being from the city and going to an art schools, i no stranger to drag queens and transgender individuals. In fact i have always had an odd fascination with the idea of men in women's clothes. However, this person had to be one of the most convicing queen i have ever seen. His image from his obnoxious pink hair to his multi-colored eye make up to his pin style posed pictures was so well crafted. It amazed me. His music was your usually techno beat but the lyrics were really ranuchy and one song, "Lollipop Luxury," was all about gay sex but in a way it worked for him. I don't even like the music all that much but i have found meself repeatly coming back to his page listening to music that is annonyingly catchy at best.It really makes me think how many times these performers that we often listen have an image that was carefully crafted in order to make them that more interesting and saleable. I don't think i would be half as interested in this guy had he been in dressed what we usually consider men's clothing. The fact that he has long hair and dresses in heels and bathing suits and carry himself better than most women that i have meet makes him that much more interesting hence makes his music interesting. Or it could be that i'm just really weird and have a odd platonic attraction to the idea of boys in dresses.

Check him out @ Jeffree Star
