Marilyn Manson, born Brian Warner, recently made headlines not with humping another head or more outlandish or videogamesque costumes; no the bachelor has been taken off the market.  Last December the shock rocker married burlesque dancer Dita Von Tesse, or as her mother knows her- Heather Sweet.  The ceremony took place in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Ireland, at Castle Gurteen, the home of the couple’s friend, controversial artist Gottfried Helnwein.  Manson & Tesse began dating over five years ago and appear to have not looked back since; this is the first marriage for both. 

All that’s well & good, but what I want to know is about the makeup.  I feel certain that cosmetic stores worldwide get quite tingly at the slightest mention of a Marilyn Manson tour date.  Ye gods, the application alone must take pounds of foundation and cascading wallets of cash.  I would think Dita gets more lipstick on her collar these days than Manson. 

 

 

 

It’s been over a decade since we first saw the makeup-donning Manson, and I have to wonder, will the persona ever end?  After the Clearasil, the lipstick on your teeth, leaving marks on the pillow- wouldn’t that be enough for anyone?  But I’m not so sure we’re ready for that.  I don’t think the Manson seen at right will move crowds to line up their cash for CD’s and overpriced concert tickets.  You be the judge, Marilyn Manson without makeup- sexy or just plain wrong?
