"Da fuq did I just watch???"

My wife saw the eye makeup and said they were trying to look like vampires.

My own thought was that their other jobs are all working down at the Greyhoud depot, inspecting the buses by staring up the exhaust pipe while the driver revs the engine.

Some of the clothes were interesting in a very eccentric way, but they can just bag that eye makeup.

but I don't wear any makeup now, anyway.

That look reminds me of the big eye sockets in a skull; it's too severe and not particularly edgy, if that was the intent.

I love the black clothes at the beginning of the show, though!

and I've got easily a dozen types of mascara (formerly secret vice). I bailed on the video after 5 minutes, what I noticed, after checking the eye make up... flood pants with clunky big heels, big prints, contrasty dull deep colors, long lines on the coats and very structured bags. The sunglass frames weren't much, but the large lenses made me happy...bifocal wearer here, small lenses and bifocals just make it harder to get the focal points right.

It is, after all, a runway "show"

But I like dramatic eye makeup. It's fun, and the great thing about it is you can wash it off every night if you don't like it!

Reminiscent of Wednesday Addams... also WWII for some reason- long trench or military inspired coats and those strange shoes that look like they have built-in heavy duty rubbers- you know, short galoshes

I wouldn't want to look like that. I haven't really noticed people around here wearing eye make up like that. I am in the boonies though.
