Fab Five Forever!

Recently while channel surfing I came upon the Fine Living Network. Much to my surprise and delight FLN is rerunning Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. I forgot how happy this show made me.

I HEART Kyan, Ted, Carson, Jai and Thom! This show featuring the Fab Five ran from 2003-2007 and gave straight men “make-betters” to improve their grooming, food, fashion, home and cultural habits. Apparently I have seen just about every episode. Now that FLN is on my TV radar I try to tune in whenever Queer Eye is on. Even after multiple viewings I still enjoy the episodes (which is more than I can say about reruns – and original airings — of Private Practice).

So who is my favorite of the Fab Five? I can’t choose.

Kyan is hot(!) and was so cuddly during that episode with the toupee guy. (Kyan convinced him that the toupee wasn’t worth the bother.)

Ted is my hero of all things food and wine. I probably appreciate his advice more now than when the show originally aired. (I have become the proud owner of stemware and fine cutlery.)

Carson is the funniest of the group and encourages men to try fashion that is out of their comfort zone. (Dude, are you available to help Hubby move beyond black slacks and button downs?)

Jai is like the successful brother who knows all about theater, music and how to conduct yourself in public. I’d like to bring him to work for a day just to see how my department would manage a discussion about Broadway.

And Thom, my guru of interior design, you can makeover my house any day.

Will you kids ever do a reunion? Please?? I can offer up some males so you can do your magic. Just meet me at work in the cafeteria around noon. There’s a plethora of subjects for you to choose from. And if you can’t decide, I’ll bring forward a couple of the most needy who think khakis and golf shirts are da bomb in fashion.
