I am terrified.
As the move date to the East Coast rapidly approaches, I am starting to get cold feet and a bit of self-doubt.
How far will you go to pursue a dream?
On a different topic, GOD I LOVE QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY
I'm watching a rerun right now...but all you boys, especially Kerbang (not that I think you would need Queer Eye but, rather, I think you would appreciate the television production value) HAVE TO WATCH THIS SHOW.
When I first watched it, about a month ago, the theme song, the introduction of the experts (and yes, they ARE experts) and the part where they walk to the camera in a horizontal straight line--especially watching Carson (the fashion expert in the middle with the rightly deemed badass attitude) I fell off my bed. I could not stop laughing.
This is a show I would DREAM of being a director/producer/creator of.
Anyway, it's the tiniest things about this show that just KILL me. Like when they show the transformation of the home and the techno music comes on...it just KILLS me. I get all excited and I start grinning like a Chesire cat.
I also love it when guys getting their makeover get their eyebrows waxed (or in one episode when they guy got his ear hair waxed and in another, a crew member got his back hair waxed) GAWD, it's great to see guys beautifying themselves.
I also love it when (this is a I-pretty-much-love everything) at the end of the show, they give these cheesy yet fantastic tips. It's like an after school program--but a really classy after school programme. It kills me (I'm turning into Holden Caufield here)
Anyway, the best part of the show is Ted.
Ted is my soulmate.
Ted has written four books, has two Masters and is an editor for Esquire. He is also a fantastic cook and wears these intelligent glasses. And unlike Carson who has this biting sarcastic (granted, fucking hilarious) personality, Ted has a more subdued, more witty approach to humour. He has dark hair and this look that turns me into mush.
He kills me.
And he's gay. (sigh)
The background on all of the other guys is super interesting as well--the fashion guy is an equestrian (equistrian sp?); the grooming guy was the top guy in a Salon in, I believe, New York; the culture guy (I still haven't figured out what EXACTLY that guy does) was Angel in RENT; and the housing guy (who, I think, always does the most awesome job in the group) has this huge interior design firm.
And if money was no object I would work for this show for free. Just to have my name to even be slightly connected to this show vis a vis Kevin Bacon, would be deemed a great honour.
The show is on Bravo, Tuesday nights at 10 p.m.
Boys, you HAVE to watch it.
Because it just KILLS me.
