I still have a thing for Stipe, as goofy as he can be...

Yeah, I'm not sure about the HUGE eyeliner either -it's sorta creepy. I say "sorta" because I'm totally blinded by my infatuation. If it was anyone else in the group there would be no "sorta" about it. Although. . . maybe it'd just be really funny on Mike.

It is my favorite color for eyeliner (I actually wear it when the occasion is right), and loved when Stipe started sporting it onstage, but then it grew to an unsettling size. I hope to god he doesn't go the whole face next time. Blue Man Group is so not sexy.

Batman? Well, He's actually a fan of the blue mask. Go figure...

I thought that was a scar from when he was in a car accident.

Yeah, I am a total nerd girl from high school. Haven't changed a bit.

well.. above the eyebrow and over.. between the eyebrow and the ear. which, if you look in other photos you will see he also paints PART of the ear. just part of it because painting more than that would make him look silly.

Haaa..yep. Wouldn't want to be silly. Theatrical, yes. Silly, no.

Thanks for the visuals. I did see that train wreck earlier today in the R.E.M. Live 8 concert footage from London. (Your Aimee Mann you tube video led me down the path of enjoyable mid-afternoon time wastage)

Anyway, totally creepy. I thought it was the car accident scar. Scar=cool. Vein=Eww. Back away from the eyeliner, sir.

He should paint himself some big blue glasses. Or a bright red sweatband. The whole way around his head. Or both. Ohhhh..with green cheeks!
I totally want to be his make-up artist now.

wtf is right!!! I blame this whole ridiculous convo on lack of sleep. No sane/sober/well-rested person over 22 would even be having this discussion. I'm going to bed too! Goodnight Bean!

There was the huge black eyebrow thing, the mustard-dyed hair, the shaved monk hairdo, the late 80s no-hair-on-the-sides-but-lots-of-hair-on-top disaster, the glitter, the football under-the-eye stripes, the various hats (the russian one being my fav.) and so on... I don't think he's going for the "you know you want me" look.

i like that he does wacky things that can cause ppl (myself included) to sometimes wince at the awkwardness. it makes me feel a little less crazy sometimes, and it's fun. cause, dude, he makes money for doing that shit. he paints his face, dances like a lunatic, and sings for a REALLY LARGE salary.
don't understand it. there is nothing to understand. he's a freak. :-)
A lovely lovely freak. Even with unsightly veins.

I dunno ...maybe he takes too many drugs? :-D That might explain it.

yes..i miss bill too...but i also love that he's often been described as being "a gentleman farmer". he he.

(i so lied about going to bed. i will shortly tho..)

Donning a blue eyeliner mask which greatly accentuates frankenstein-esque bulging veins on one's head is normal compared to one(me) blogging about it all night. I, dear Janine, am the true freak.
