Ch 5 Blog Post #2

Here is a picture of Bill Kaulitz. He is the frontman of a German rock band called Tokio Hotel. One of the things this man is known for is his obvious beauty. To many, his beauty is more effeminate than your average guy. Bill is a guy who does not go by the typical ideals set by the gender binary and instead rewrites it. He wears eye makeup and paints his nails which is considered a feminine look. He has changed his look over the years and continues to wear fashion that adds to his androgynous feel. His nails are often painted other colors besides black (mostly white or silver). Either way, he acts as his own agent and changes his style which, in turn,  rewrites the binary.
