Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Author: MurphyPublished: Jul 19, 2003 at 8:42 pm 5 comments

THis is a new show on Bravo. 5 gay guys get together to spiff up a clueless straight guy, and give him a makeover.

It is hilarious! I love this show. I tell you what, the sarcastic over-the-top gay culture is really MADE for TV. I mean it! These guys learned their moves from imitating the imitations of female glamour from Hollywood, so they are practically cartoon-like in their ability to quip and move things along.

Yes, they are extremely catty sometimes. But they aren't actually mean, they don't want to make anybody feel bad. They are there to make their straight guy's life better.

I would have thought that some of the straight guys would have gotten the willies, what with the gay guys pawing them and making little flirty comments, but they all seemed very comfortable and having a good time.

I have to say, I look at my house differently. What would Carson say?

    Carson's the one to worry about. On the basis of the first two shows, it seems clear that he's the guy with the readiest and sharpest wit.

    I absolutely LOVE this show. It's halarious. You couldn't have picked more perfect guys to host the show. Plus I LOVE JAI!! I saw him in the broadway musical RENT and fell in love with him ever since. He's so hot and sexy! Too bad I'm not a guy! But I love the show and can't wait to see the next episode!
