Eddie
My friend Paul makes fun of how I can’t stand Kyan Douglas, the grooming guy on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” And it’s true, he does irritate the hell out of me: his ultra-trendy (and to me, ugly) clothes, his gelled-up hair, his sneer when he spies hair products not purchased in a salon. Admittedly, I find hating Kyan is part of my enjoyment of the show, since he never disappoints me.
But by far the best thing about Kyan is that his real name is “Eddie.” Can’t make this stuff up, people.
I watched an episode. I really did. I liked parts of it. Other parts embarrassed me — I mean, deep down “oh my god not in public and NOT in front of a camera for gods sake” embarrassed.
I think there is a reason the word “embarrass” sounds so similar to “in bare ass”.
This is what happens when I think.
What sort of “scandel” would QEFTSG possibly be subject to?
Would E! start pumping out pictures if one of them was seen “dating” a woman? Would it sow up on the cover of the Enquirer if one of them went to the grocery store in a baseball cap and ratty t-shirt (or would that just become a new fashion statement?)
I mean, since one of the base premises of this show is that the abitrators of all things are all gay, did they have to pass a test? Show film of themselves in the act? Bring witnesses? Could any of them being lying just to make a TV career?
These are the things I ponder when I’m trying to avoid the ironing.
What I wonder is where did this “dzujing” (shujing? szushing?) word come from? And how is it really spelled?
Furthermore, why can’t he ever call hair gel just hair gel? Why is it always “product,” like when he says “Apply the product to your hair and dzuje it back and forth?”
These are things I ponder when I’m avoiding coherent thought. Ironing I gave up a long time ago.
Did you really think that they were born “Kyan,” “Carson,” “Thom,” and “Jai?” Their mothers would have had to have known at *birth*.
I like Ted myself.
Well, Thom and Jai are probably short forms of Thomas and Jaime, which aren’t uncommon at all. Carson is a different story, but there were pretentious fucks having children back then, too.
