‘The Manly Way To Apply Eyeliner’ By Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III

Earlier, we told you that Pete Wentz accidentally made it onto People’s “50 Most Beautiful People” list. And while we tried to give Pete the old benefit of the doubt (he does have really pretty, um, lipstick?) this video has us even more confused than ever.

“I don’t know, sometimes I just decide not to wear eyeliner,” says the effeminate, skinny jeans-wearing musician. “And then it bothers people when I don’t, and it bothers people when I do.”

What’s an androgynous emo guitarist to do??

The best part, however, is when Pete gives us (the viewer!) a step-by-step lesson in applying “guyliner,” a look the Fall Out Boy seems to have mastered after years of raiding his mother’s makeup drawer. The most important step, according to Pete, is to “smear it.”

Which makes the use of feminine cosmetics products seem so much more manly, somehow.
