he was so feminine and seemed so comfortable and natural in it. dangerous/history era and beyond. good for him.
#it's interesting bc he wasn't really doing anything THAT different from stuff he did as far back as before thriller#but it was different enough that it was very noticeable#i feel like the difference between Bad abd dangerous is crazy in this way#i'm talking more about his attitude than the actual presentation#Although#there is maybe something to be said about Bad presentation being... well. very made up but in an acceptable way. for Michael Jackson#aka a masculine way. kind of a punk way#not to say that makeup is inherently feminine but what is punk style if not femininity masquerading as masculinity#yknow. depending on the specific Scene. idk that much about all that i'm just thinking of michael's style for Bad#and i think a similar thing happened with thriller although the style wasn't as specific#he had the jheri curl and the military jackets and a Cool Guy thing happening#so like. masculine. 'masculine'.. the aforementioned military jackets absolutely Decked out in rhinestones. tapered waistlines#the super thin eyebrows#so ya. that's Bad and pre Bad#dangerous feels different. BoW video he's prettier than ever. he's dressed simply. honestly not much to categorize him as anything#hair is long and beautiful. romantic and carefree#the makeup is More#RTT video HAIR CHANGE !!! again kind ifcan ambiguous outfit. notably a skirt kinda thing. yay#ITC video is a whole thing. omg. presentation-wise#like. butch. but like. a femme trying to be butch. sorry mj. not 2 label you as anything#anyways. as a whole era dangerous just feels really fun and free gender-wise#am i projecting Sure. do i care No.#he struck such a beautiful balance at that time#i like him :)
