I love eyeliner, it really brings out my eyes!

then some base, blush, and even some lipstick if I'm feeling feisty ;)

What if the eyeliner is applied, say, around the nostrils? :D

I'm sure that may be useful if you are trying to convince someone that you're a coked out whore. :nice:


(the whole cocaine makes nostrils bigger legend, )

heh, that could point to any number of things. things that might cause the person to eventually be depressed, but depression itself? nah.

now, if the eyeliner pencil is jammed into the temple, then we've got something to work with!

but no mascara? *gasp* with that blonde hair you'd positively NEED mascara! :horor:

:cry: and coked out whore's aren't happy?!? but that was what I was aspiring to in live! *whatever now heads off to the career center in hopes of finding a happier job, like becoming a pimp! ;) *

or in the ear! :shock:

or like purple suggested, in the eye might just lead to a depression that may cause one to kill oneself! :laugh: :emot-emo:

I didn't say that, I meant people who weren't coked out whores but pretending to be are lame. but I can't be a whore I'm too picky sadly :( so I have to be a pimp

well... if you'll be a nice pimp and give me a good cut of the money I might consider staying with my ambition of becoming a coked out whore... ;)

Pimps = more discerning in their career paths + lots of eyeliner around the nostrils.

but but but that's my favorite part of being a pimp :cry:

one of the best things about slapping someone is that it doesn't require the other person's permission.

I have this theory that girls who wear black eyeliner on the top and bottom of their eyes either have struggled with depression with their past (and have what I call residual depression) or are currently suffering from depression. There's something tragic that the eyeliner signifies that I think the person identifies with or wants to communicate to others. I'm looking to test my hypothesis.

Do you agree with the generalization made above? If not, is there a tendency towards depression?

Is the generalization too narrow? Does the black eyeliner stand for something else? Attention-seeking? Histrionics? Intensity?

Here's a perfect example from an ex:

It is tempting to think that, isn't it? They look emo to me!
The gals and guys who dress all Goth with their eyes all outlined in black certainly LOOK as though they have emotional problems, but no doubt some of them just want us to think that.

... and then they go home, and pop some " Tiffany" into the cd player, and dance around with their NKOTB posters until their mother calls them for dinner. :D

i'd take that as more of a sign of depression than black anything.

Yeah, I though suppose that if they were really in dire straits, they would be playing Alvin and the Chipmunks over and over. :D

ha!

yeah, really. playing that over and over is clearly a sign of a person in denial about their depression.

Drawgs == depression also?

I dunno Edahn. I think it might be correlated. I think it's just a cultural commonality. Perhaps people who're prone to depression (or those who think they are) herd. Then all the other things are shared like a needle in a heroin house. Oh... heh... pun.
