STRAIGHT EYE FOR THAT DELIVERANCE GUY
I've seen Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, and I have to tell you, it's not that good. These fellas take a Bubba and attempt to remake him into Smoov B. I don't buy it. He usually ends up looking like a redneck cop trying to blend into a popper club. And who anointed gays as arbiters of taste? You think I don't know fine cuisine? Kiss my ass. Clothes? Bite me (No! Don't!) And music? Hah. Everyone knows gays have the worst possible taste in music. You take away Babs, Garland, Merman, Diana, Bette, and these poor guys are trembling in the land of Philistines. Gays' taste in music is horrendous. They just don't have any sense of musical diversity.
I'm developing a new show. I'll find five straight guys and turn them loose on Ned Beatty's Nemesis. Nothing serious. Teach him attire doesn't have to consist of overalls with a union suit flap in the front. Put him in a decent Joe Banks sport coat, some nice slacks, and Cole Haan loafers. He'll be okay. Cuisine? Turn him on to osso buco. Man does not live by pig guts alone.
The arts? Banjoes are out, definitely. After that the music falls in to place. London Calling might get him primed. They could get him to take down his fisting pictures and replace them with, oh, some Klee.
After the bald-spot mullet is cut I think the boys might have a winner.
If I can get this show picked up (Sci-Fi Channel, are you out there?) I'll try another one. Girl Meets Girl. One hot swimsuit model has to pick a lover from a group of 12 other swimsuit models. The catch? That's the beauty. There is no catch. ALL of the girls are bisexual. It's just a matter of finding the best kisser. Hell, I may start this one first.
word. gay music is the worst, almost without exception. If there are two typws of music that the world could do without, they're showtunes and disco.
Posted by: sama at August 30, 2003 10:20 AMI was in New York once and went to the Metropolitan Museum to a Klee retrospective. The exhibit was all the way in the back. We worked our way through a couple of hours of exhibits to the "Klee in Munich" exhibit, at which point I realized I had Klee confused with Klimt. I don't particularly have a ken for Klee. I was for Klimt. Or, fahrklimt. It would have been funnier if my feet didn't hurt so much at that point.
Agreed on Queer Eye. I think there is a growing backlash on this whole Gay Glorification thing. Drudge reports this morning that Madonna and Brittney's lesbo french kiss came in a broadcast that was down significantly in key audience demos. We're all quite over it thanks no matter what Ruth Bader Ginsberg thinks. Get the fuck back in the closet.
Also--Keep the blog up Velociman. We get bored when you leave town on business, just like the wife. Get one of those wireless laptop access thingies. Post live from the shaving cream-topped bar at 1am. Like Hunter Thompson, you have an obligation to tell it like it is.

who made us gay people the "queens" of fashion???Society. Women predominantly. Women started to stop looking at you fat redneck slobs and started looking at gay guys who took pride in their appearance and social manner. And then all of a sudden fricken "straight" homophobic idiots come along and decide to steal the idea and become all "metro".
Gay people will always have better taste than hetero fat fucks. so you guys can get off your homophobic high horses and honestly get a life!!
dont u have anything better to do with yourselves than to put down gay people and the gay revolution which only wants equality?
Posted by: fair_pwincess at March 14, 2005 7:14 PMJesus fucking Christ, pwincess! Look at the Godamned time/date stamp on those comments! You dragged your sorry ass through here 16.5 months after the original comment and just felt fucking compelled to leave a semi-literate excuse of a message.
What the fucking fuck is fucking wrong with you, you fuck?!
Posted by: Mr. Bowen at March 15, 2005 10:14 AMAs mr bowen so accurately informed the misguided princess it has been 16.5 months since the original comment was made.
And all comments are still up and posted for all who care to read and on the same reasoning to respond to. So in fact mr. bowen there's no reason why you should be chastising princess for making a comment based on timing. Although princess could have been more constructive.
I do agree that the queer eye phenomena is quite pathetic and the guys on there even more so.
As for the rest of the comments I have to say that as a gay guy I really can't relate to your stereotyping of what you consider to be 'gay' music.
I don't care much for showtunes and disco either and neither do a lot of my gay friends. A large section of the gay scene in England (where I live) is tailored to as wide a variety in musical taste as the straight scene. Except for the occasional excess indulgence in house.
Cheers for taking the time to read my response. And hopefully it's helped someone understand that something or someone being gay is not about being effeminate as a hell of a lot of gay guys and their tastes aren't.
