Article About Bill’s Fashion in Milenio Magazine, a major magazine in Mexico.

ANDROGYNOUS FASHION

The teenagers are more familiarized with the androgynyphenomenon, than the adults, their singers, their actors and models have androgens characteristics: Briank Molko, singer and song writter from Placebo, Ville Vallo leader of Finnish band H.I.M., the British actress Tilda Swinton (The Chronicles of Narnia), and niece of Spanish singer Miguel Bosé, Bimba Bosé. David Bowie’s image on the seventies, wasn’t properly classified as androgen it was more; ambiguous.There’s also the British transvestite pop singer, Pete Burns, Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks), Katie Sketch (The Organ), the actress, poet, guitarrist and Tv star Daniela Sea (The L World) and her workmate on the serie, Kate Moennig, and the British-American singer, and song writter Dj Samantha Ronson.

And the most adored and admired androgen by the teenagers is the German Bill Kaulitz, leader of the Tokio Hotel band, who has been
classified by thousands of fans as the number one between the musicians with androgens characteristics. The androgyny attracts me “because it’s really intriguing and
enigmatic” a rocker fan wrote on the Internet. Some of these fans agree that androgen men and women “look amazing” most if their face and body have got delicate features. “Bill Kaulitz type is one of the best examples. He looks gorgeous even without make up on” some teenager write on a blog post. “You all should check the Japanese bands, Visual Kei type -some fan writes- just type those two words on the search engine on Google Images and you will see what I am talking about.

I don't know why Bill is compared to the Visual Kei movement.

Yes, he does have an androgynous look. But, that's the only similarity I can see.

Because often, the androgynous looks are the only thing people know about Visual Kei.

So they assume anyone interested and dabbling into androgyny is "Visual Kei." :roll:

I"m not a fan of VK, nor do I care for it. But, i think there is much more to it than androgyny.

Bill mentions David Bowe as an inspiration. Androgyny began long before the creators VK were even born.

yeah I still think some of Bill's jackets/accessories do look like things those guys in those Japanese bands wear sometimes though and then they always have interesting dyed, poked up hairstyles too... like I'm not even thinking about androgyny at all. just the whole cool, unique, diva rocker fashion.

but I actually think recently I've been seeing more similarities to Finish rock fashion :laugh:


but I'm not completely comparing Bill to any of these styles. haha just stating that I do see some similarities sometimes.

I see lots of 80s rockfashion in Bill. Both rock, glam and sleaze. The Japanese thing came later and isn't what he grew up with. Gordon is very much about Rock.

I love 80's music, so when i heard Dogs Unleashed, it made me so happy! lol!!!!

yeah, when i first pics of Bill, i thought of the guys from 80's rock bands! and wondered why America would have a problem with Bill when their older rock acts looked wayyyyyyy worse!

:lol:

Yeah a lot of men in their 30s and 40s seems to have a prob with that and I've told them over and over to go look at what they used to listen to and visit LA where so many of these rockers live. They have amnesia very conveniently!

Oh I know...Like for example: Kiss, Alice cooper, Sebastian Bach, Bon Jovi, Poison, the list goes on and on and on of crazy hairdo, makeup wearers, fashion glam doll etc. I do think that this new album will pull in that older rocker crowd and get them the fanbase well deserved.

I've been humming that song all day and it's starting to drive me nuts.

:lol:
I'm not sure. Earlier in the day I felt bouncy and happy as I was humming it, but now it won't go away and I'm starting to get annoyed with it and I'm afraid I'll be sick of it soon. But maybe tomorrow I'll be stuck on a different song.

I should be glad it's a TH song. What I really can't stand is when I can't stop humming a song I hate.
