Apropos of nothing

[featherynscale]

If I were a band, I'd be The Dresden Dolls. They describe themselves as "Brechtian Punk Cabaret", dress like exceedingly pretty mimes, wear striped stockings and bowler hats, according to their kinds, and write songs about robot-fucking, sex changes, androgyny and other things of that nature.

I think that, despite my results on the weird fetish meme, my weird fetish is actually mimes. And I am not at all ashamed of this. I mean, skinny guys who dress in black and wear lots of makeup. Not entirely unlike goth boys, but better, because they don't talk. Not to mention the whole training your body to do odd complex movements thing. Like dancers, but with a sense of humor. So eh.

This horrible thought brought to you by me. Kiss kiss.

Gymnasts. Equally good at the body-doing-odd-complex-movements thing, but better built. Should not, however, be allowed to talk.

Asian gymnasts, perhaps. Gymnasts on the less bulky end of the spectrum. But no disagreement with the general principle you're endorsing.

Gymnast = ninja in daylight
Shh. Ancient Chinese secret. Don't tell.

I wouldn't say no to a ninja

Ninjas also not entirely unlike mimes, going with the whole wearing black, bizarre body movements, being quiet thing. But no makeup. (At least, I assume no makeup. In the masks, it's hard to tell.)

I would bet they need some kind of eyeliner so that the skin doesn't show through the mask.
