Poem Title:
Poem
J D Vance has such smoky, smoldering eyes, doesn’t he? The way those baby blues coruscate, as if from the darkness. Are those shadows natural? No, it’s eyeliner, of course, but on a 40-year-old man it’s called guyliner. Any teenage girl will tell you the kohl pencil is the gateway makeup tool for self-definition, if not exactly self-improvement. As an ex-teenage girl, I can picture the hours senator Vance spent, hunched over his laptop watching make-up tutorials on TikTok or Instagram, analyzing eyeliner techniques in overwhelming detail. TikTok clips are today’s replacement for the Teen Vogue magazine product pages of back-in-the-day. I recall watching these videos, at 14 and devolving into a fog of envy and inadequacy. JD began wearing guyliner in 2016, so he probably watched those at age 33 and by now, he’s certain to have upped his game by having them permanently, cosmetically tattooed on. Of course, Trump himself has never been one to shy away from makeup. His weird, orange, glazed-ham look comes from his preferred spray-on concealer, ‘Bronx Colors,’ a cruelty-free makeup manufacturer in Switzerland. If this all sounds too judgy, I’d like to say, “JD, I’ve felt your clearly adolescent girl pain, and I get your desire to represent a softer and more romantic republican political aesthetic.” And let’s not forget that Kamala’s been known to wear makeup herself. . . Songs for this: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue by Falco Gonna Get Along without you now by She and Him . . Here are before and after JD Vance eyeliner pics - you decide: daweb.us/jdVance.png
