Queer Eye For The Straight Guy

Makeovers For Straight Men

Bravo's big hit, "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" has gotten rave reviews from critics and a growing number of fans, both gay and straight. In response to growing concern over the straight man's "rough" ways and lack of culture, five queer men set out to change the look and style of the average straight male, one makeover at a time.

"Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" is a fantastically witty series and a breath of fresh air from the saturation of reality shows presently on television. The five queer fashion and culture gurus flawlessly execute their mission of refining the lives and look of the average straight man with whit and expertise in their individual areas.

Grooming Guru Kyan Douglas, Food & Wine Connoisseur Ted Allen, Fashion Savant Carson Kressley, Culture Vulture Jai Rodriguez and Design Doctor Thom Filicia take turns transforming a nervous and unsuspecting straight man into a stylistic wonder. Despite fears that the "Fab Five" attempt to "convert" straight men, it is quite the opposite. Their mission is to fit the culture and look of the gay man into a straight man's environment. For example, in Episode 101 the guys set out to prepare starving artist Brian "Butch" S., who hadn't cut his hair in nine years, for his first art gallery opening. Grooming Guru, Kyan Douglas eagerly presses Brian to "do something with that hair!" Kyan wasn't surprised one bit that Brian didn't have much luck in the dating department.

Gay and straight men and women can learn a thing or two from "Queer Eye" and will have a good time in the process.

This show merges the stereotypes of both the gay and straight cultures into one common goal: self respect, a good image and killer style. I highly recommend you check out "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" Tuesdays at 10pm EST on the Bravo Network.
