Unisexual Beauty

Androgynous Men, Like 'Snake of Eden,' Are Gaining Prominence

— July 23, 2009 — Fashion
Although all signs may point in that direction, this article is not referring to the flamboyantly-glamorous drag queens, but to a new breed of beings that are further blurring the lines of ambiguity.

Is it wrong that I find myself simultaneously attracted to and minutely jealous of these undeniably tantalizing, unisexual beings?

While admitting that this might border somewhere along the lines of a slight obsession of mine, it is also a trend that is distinctly on the rise. Men who look neither manly nor womanly, they just are. In essence, that would technically classify them as an It, although I imagine a good majority of the population would do away with this seemingly crude label and settle for nothing less than ‘Hot,' ‘Hawt,' or ‘Hott.'

Swedish punk-rock/glam-rock band “Snake of Eden” is perhaps one of the best examples of today’s Asexual beings. Out of the band of five, three of its founding members are triplets. Each has hair coiffed more perfectly than mine, a propensity for wearing nail polish and the odd bit of mascara, along with a style that could be defined as moderately effeminate with a definite edge. Indeed, given the chance, I would like to chat up many of these boys and coerce from them their beauty secrets.
Trend Themes
1. Unisexual Aesthetics - The rising trend of men who look neither manly nor womanly presents an opportunity for innovation in the beauty industry to create new product lines and marketing campaigns that cater to this demographic.
2. Gender Neutral Fashion - As more individuals embrace a gender-neutral appearance, there is a growing opportunity for fashion retailers to develop unisex clothing lines that appeal to this market.
3. Fluid Beauty Standards - The emergence of androgynous beauty presents an opportunity for redefining traditional beauty standards and promoting more fluid expressions of gender and personal identity.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - The beauty industry can leverage the trend of unisexual aesthetics to create new product lines and marketing campaigns that cater to androgynous individuals.
2. Fashion - Fashion retailers can leverage the trend of gender neutral fashion to develop unisex clothing lines that appeal to individuals who don't conform to traditional gender roles.
3. Entertainment - As androgynous appearances gain prominence in popular culture, there is an opportunity for the entertainment industry to embrace these individuals and showcase their unique talents and perspectives.
