Androgyns

Androgyns
Upon picking up four pints of semi-skimmed Cravendale milk today in our local tescos, I bumped into a lady and sent her trolley flying about two feet. Mumbling a hasty “Sorry Ma’am,” I picked up the offending milk and started to make my way away from the crash scene, when the ’woman’ turned to face me, and I realised with a large flush of colour to my cheeks that she was indeed a he. “Quite alright madam.” He said gruffly and waltzed away, leaving me mortified in the dairy section. This incident has gotten me thinking. About those beautiful beings we like to call ‘androgyns’ , or more commonly a ‘he-she’. To be perfectly honest, these odd collaborations of genders can quite easily be one of two things. One; incredibly, wonderfully captivating and lovely people that you can’t help but stare at in wonder, or two; really very weird people that make you cringe at the sight of them and cross the street to avoid their heavily and distastefully mascara clad gazes.Perfect examples of this would be Bill Kaulitz and Jefree Star. Bill, for instance, is one of the positively androgynous people that bless this Earth that we find easy to love and appreciate. He’s feminine, but not too much so. Sensitive and fragile, yet still manly and very, very sexy. Well, in my opinion anyway. I know a lot of people at my school disagree with me, but hey ho. If you’ve never seen him, (unlucky soul) here’s a link.

With hair that looks like he crashed into the back of a Barbie paint delivery truck and equally hot-pink tattooed eyebrows, he’s the monster from under my bed that only eats one sock. it’s truly cringeful how he dresses - Hello Kitty tiaras teamed with tight halter tops and low-rise jeans, plus a load of hooker-esque make-up. Wait, no. His maquillage makes a prostitute look tasteful and conserved. Just take a look at this.

It’s been replaced with the urge to vomit, hasn’t it? Well, maybe not, but you have to admit that Jefree Star is a very bad example of this genre of person, and Bill is a very appealing example. Boys, don’t you just have the urge to mess around with eyeliner now? And girls; I’d bet most of my possessions that if you had a face like Bill’s you’d be pretty happy, what with his feline features and gracefully sharp cheekbones. Makes you jealous that a boy’s prettier than you, doesn’t it? Haha.Which is why I wrote this. I for one am very thankful for people like this, even the occasional Jefree. Otherwise, the world would be so dull it wouldn’t be worth living. These people spice things up a bit, so don’t ,make fun of them and call them ‘pouffes’ or whatever you wish to call them. They have their own style and enough confidence to carry it off, so don’t chastise them for being their own person, even if they are as repellant as Jefree.
