That eye makeup must be pretty heavy - about a third of them have their makeupped eye drooping down significantly compared to the other.

anyone hold up a book to cover one half like I did.

beside the outlandish choices of colors that your typical female would never wear outside of a rave, it would be hard to tell they were men in drag.

Honestly, if I only saw them with make up on, I would have never guessed that any of them were guys (well... maybe a few, but not many. ._.) Though I didn't like the long fingernails that some of them wore... Those things were freaking TALONS. o_e
