For Robert, wearing make-up is as natural as it is for most females. <BR/><BR/>2) I really truly think Robert does not give a shit if some people think he looks like a fool. He has received a LOT of derision throughout his musical career for his make-up and coiffure, and much of the criticism has been leveled at him in more recent times. He has eyes and ears, and is likely very well aware of the mockery. The fact that he continues not just to WEAR make-up but to FLAUNT it is proof, IMO, that he really doesn't care what others thinks, as long as he is happy with how he looks. <BR/><BR/>3) He looks damn good, IMO. <BR/><BR/>And of course, his looks mean NOTHING In the scheme of things. If the music sucks ass, then Robert could be Johnny Depp and I wouldn't care. <BR/><BR/>Mmmmmm...Johnny Depp.Clockwise Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495371829516028681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-42698133625904579712008-05-30T14:04:00.000-05:002008-05-30T14:04:00.000-05:00Well said, MonkeyButt.

I once watched a video in which Robert visited Simon's son at a studio. He didn't wear any makeup.<BR/><BR/>By putting a certain makeup, it's very easy to create a certain persona and separate it from the real personality. Since Robert is shy, I believe he feels comfortable to hide real "Robert James Smith" from people he doesn't know much.Junkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116178778531661885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-76969566820420280842008-05-30T11:19:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:19:00.000-05:00This may come as a surprise after the seemingly sh...This may come as a surprise after the seemingly shallow remarks I was making about another member of the band's "appearance" last evening, but it doesn't matter at all to me how Robert looks. <BR/><BR/>Well, I'd prefer that he lost a little bit of weight, just because I'm concerned for his health, but I could care less if he wants to wear eye make up or a tutu or a wedding dress! As long as he's being himself and is happy with how he looks, then I'm happy too!vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573574868789487340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-1123630338610122422008-05-30T11:15:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:15:00.000-05:00Yeah I will love to come to Australia.

I do a fair amount of painting in my free time (some inspired by cure songs :-))and I love painting fantasy landscapes and seascapes so I use lots of bright colours. Then one day someone asked me if I could paint a local area.<BR/><BR/>So I said yes and got a photograph then spent the entire time mixing up about 40 different shades of grey. Seriously even the rainbows are grey here. Looking out of my window right now is like looking at a black and white photograph.<BR/><BR/>So swiftly coming back to topic, I guess this be why I love Roberts looks. It triumphantly adds more colour to an already bright band.AndrewV127https://www.blogger.com/profile/07204411285553318117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-76727920498938810862008-05-30T11:01:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:01:00.000-05:00Hi fantac - that is almost too much to read at 12a...Hi fantac - that is almost too much to read at 12amaltr2elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189273569462390132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-82747405145255440742008-05-30T10:54:00.001-05:002008-05-30T10:54:00.001-05:00Hi elise, andrew and y'all,I find it quite funny t...Hi elise, andrew and y'all,<BR/><BR/>I find it quite funny that some of us here almost seem to write as if they actually knew about how Robert and Mary (??) actually think :oS<BR/><BR/>What I stated before really says what I believe so I won't repeat myself but my opinion leads me to think some here confuse very different aspects of Robert's life in the debate: public and personal.<BR/><BR/>Again it's just my opinion but I do think those two aspects are and have to be different for a public figure like Robert Smith. Otherwise, one would go nuts!<BR/><BR/>And all I feel I really have to take any position is not what people say, write or feel about anything related to Robert Smith. All I do have are is words and his interviews. And considering I doubt Robert Smith can be called reliable in his interviews (now isn't that an understatement! lol), I'm left with his words.<BR/><BR/>Robert Smith wrote a few songs about this, his image and role and what people expect from him and all. I think Open and End are precisely about this in my opinion and it seems obvious there is a clear duality about his life.<BR/><BR/>So that's why I wrote what I wrote earlier. We have very little to actually make up our minds and it's easy to be "lost" and advance stuff we think we know when in fact we are actually clueless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-39638937472120883772008-05-30T10:54:00.000-05:002008-05-30T10:54:00.000-05:00So where in the UK are you?So where in the UK are you?altr2elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189273569462390132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-23974968247921764222008-05-30T10:52:00.000-05:002008-05-30T10:52:00.000-05:00I'm lucky enough to not live in London.
