Can I Borrow your eyeliner?

I was attempting to stop procrastinating on my homework when behind me I heard Jay Leno on the tube announcing the nights band was "30 Seconds to Mars" fronted by Jared Leto. I thought, 'Oh god another actor who thinks he's a rock star',,,,

Surprisingly my sarcasm samurai, already spinning and ready to do some systematic slicing were quickly re-sheathed. The band was not bad at all.

Furthermore, I had never found Jared Leto attractive, but there's nothing so come-hither as a lazy chunk of mussy hair falling over the heavily lined eye of a darkly rockin semi androgynous twenty something....

Boys in eyeliner, will I ever grow out of it? 20 years later and no sign of slowing. I may want to get me some botox.

At least I know I'm not alone or HIM wouldn't be as big as they are; lets face it the music isn't all that fab. I'm sure I'd get vicious complaints about that comment if I had any actual readers but I'm convinced that when the teen fandom grows up and gathers a musical repertoire not strictly based on who they'd like to take their virginity, they will come to agree. I'm patient.

A while back I had a similar first reaction to the LICKS fronted by Juliet Lewis. Disdain was almost simultaneous with the mention of her name probably because of my previous disgust for her left over from the 1990's red carpet, corn row debacle. But then I turned absolutely gooey at how effin rockin she really is. I'm not attracted to her in eyeliner, but I'm definitely going to catch the LICKS next time they're in town. She is a better front-person than most of the non-acting singers out there. However I must maintain my insistence that she never wear her hair in corn rows again, I love her as an actress but that was just wrong.

After "30 Seconds to Mars" It seems my violent derision will continue to be unsatisfied having been disappointed more and more often, but at least I'll have plenty of scornful comments saved up and ready for Keanu Reeves, Dogstar or whatever the hell Billy Bob's band is if they ever manage to force themselves on unsuspecting late night viewers.

I still have to do homework.
