“My Boyfriend Does My Makeup”…this video tag has been making the rounds on the Internet long before Snap Chat was even a budding idea in a frat boy’s fever dream. So here I come again, on the heels of a dying trend! YES! #KONY2012.
Inviting your boyfriend to do your makeup on video is an inherently passive aggressive act. I’m really not a fan of OMG THIS IS SO FUNNAY LOOK AT HIM MESS UP!! attitude. I feel like this tag positions our boyfs as bumbling Cro-Magnons, staining a cave wall with their clumsy glyphs and stick antelopes. But I’ll tell you what….something even more sad is the fact that I am critically analyzing a YouTube TAG and using the word “boyf” unironically.
Rawn did a great job and I love his raw defeat that comes across in the video. He starts off with an admirable focus and some early triumphs that are then derailed by challenges and ultimately disaster as he attempts to navigate and rouge the harsh terrain of my face. Enjoy!
