Most male performers (actors, dancers, skaters, musicians, etc.) use make-up to cover their flaws and enhance their looks. I've seen pictures of Plushy having make-up applied before a performance, and I don't think anyone would question his masculinity for it. I personally wish all male skaters would embrace this practice, if only to cover up unsightly blemishes with a dab of concealer so we wouldn't have to look at them.
Concerning Johnny Weir -- I've never seen an off-ice pic of him wearing make-up. I've only ever seen him wearing stage make-up for a performance, so it's not like he goes around in make-up 24/7. And kudos to him and other guys for taking care of their skin. Why should women be the only ones who need to worry about a clear complexion?







Patrick Chan (age 17) and Stephen Carriere (just turned 19) are too young for my taste. Get back to me in a few years, boys!
