As I was writing about the gender norms for Men and featured Glitter Beards, I also stumbled onto the reverse for the Women. Pants and panty hose have long passe. Looking at this year's Oscar fashion plates, the envelope is always being pushed in both directions.
Voila! Meet Kay Pike who uses the world of body make-up to bring the androgyny of Comic Con to reality to gorgeous female models who are transformed into male action heroes. Her work is so detailed that the resulting models don't even appear to be in human form. She is creating such a unique art form that she shares it by live streaming of her models being transformed on line in real time. And on second viewing, I was amazed beyond belief that the model in question is usually herself. By using a simple mirror she sculpts her face and body into something beyond belief. She Aquaman, Robin and an entire army of Sci Fi come to life.
If you have time; here is her web link to watch in actual time when it happens.
