Salute ToThe Fab Five
TheDailyFix
While watching the Emmys, viewers got an
eyeful of parody lip locks, pricey frocks and the usual gushing, on cue
tearing and endlessly well rehearsed “Oh! I’m so shocked!”
acceptance speeches. Highlights, bar none, however, were topped by the
hysterical frenzy on the red carpet for Bravo’s Fab Five from Queer
Eye For The Straight Guy cast members.
Remember when queer meant picking on the sissy guy? The Fab 5 has, unequivocally
made being fashionably queer ultra chic. The boys of the hour are adored
by women and respected by both queer and straight men alike. The Fab Five
have even made the little known term ‘metrosexual’ acceptable
to mainstream America. For those of you in Ohio, metrosexual is a term
used to describe straight men who dress well, spend money on spa treatments
and grooming rituals and generally exert a lot of effort to keep themselves
well turned out.
The Fab Five are beloved by women all over America. There is now hope.
Ear hair, dead food resembling science experiments in the fridge, mismatched
shirts and ties from the 70s and cement block décor is fast becoming
a thing of the past. And women have been waiting a long time, a few million
years, for this trend.
Can outlawing the Man Show, competitive belching and public toe nail clipping
be far behind?
Guys, take heed. There is a war going on and slovenly men should retreat
madly in the wake of layered cuts, highlights and tailored suits. We are
finally, totally outnumbered.
And yet, Fab Five, in all your carefully moosed glory, we salute you.
