"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Not even going to mention that to Mr. Heather. The waiting will kill him.

To every idea a shelf...
Leigh, I'm assuming from your tagline that you liked Queer Eye.
It was everything I hoped it would be and more!
ETA:
I'm also assuming, based on the huge jump in posts in the Angel thread, that the new season has premiered?
The temptation begins.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Emlah, you are correct! (I'd say the early returns -- from people who are still watching Angel -- is favorable, but then it's a Joss episode.)

Oh, but it was, wasn't it? I was amazed by how great that guy looked after they were finished with him--completely unrecognisable (and the Fab Five's commentary on his friends' reactions was utterly priceless). Not looking forward to the switch-over to the Aussie version, though--don't think they'll be able to pull off the same sort of dynamic twice, but one can dream, I suppose.

But whoring is so fun! t /pimp This year I'm giving up all pretense of being patient and just downloading the episodes. No self-control at all.

I really liked Queer Eye too. What everyone has been saying about it is true--they took notice of what the guy wanted, worked around his existing likes and needs etc--but I was also pleasantly surprised by the dirty talk! I thought the gay guys might have been completely desexualised to render them less threatening, but not at all.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was pleased and vindicated recently when they took a Queer Eye specimen to H & M. That is where I get my $4 t-shirts! The guy was an incredible cheapskate, so it was the perfect place for him.

There's one or two guys who joke and act mildly uncomfortable. Mostly, though, they take the jokey innuendoes in really good style, and some give back as good as they get.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was that the guy that TWOP was outing as a famewhore?
