From Time’s 10 Questions with Tim Gunn:
What’s the worst fashion trend you’ve ever seen?—Kay Soriano, MANILA
Well, sandals with socks are certainly up there. Generally speaking, it’s footwear trends. I mean, the Croc—it looks like a plastic hoof. How can you take that seriously? I know it’s comfortable; I understand that. But if you want to dress to feel as though you never got out of bed, don’t get out of bed.
Did you know Fatone means “the fat one” in Greek? Did you know Mel B had a half-British/half-Eddie Murphy/half-messed up teeth baby? Did you know there is a channel called TLC where you’re supposed to learn stuff? Well now, the fat one and Mel B have combined their wonder twin powers for the Singing Office. Why is it the gayest new show on television? Because “if you wanna be my lover”, you gotta say “bye bye bye” to bad summer tv and say hello to a bunch of gays singing in an office. And speaking of gays singing in an office…they should start with Disney headquarters!!
The Three Gayest Awards Shows of the Year….hmmmmm, how to choose the gayest? The Glaad Awards had Janet Jackson, or was that Michael or was that LaToya or was it Tito? Not quite sure which one it was but whoever it was they were NOT born with that nose.
The A-list Awards had Kathy Griffin, what’s not to love? Oh yeah, everyone else who showed up who were so NOT on the A-list that they didn’t even have a letter. But cameos from little Chris Siriano and the great Tim Gunn put this awards show up there with as gay as they come.
Then, of course, there was the Tony Awards. Let’s see Patti Lupone giving the best damn performance of “Everything’s Coming Up Roses”-check. The original cast of Rent reunion-check. My tears flowing down my cheeks as “In the Heights” takes Best Musical-check. So, which show is the GAYEST AWARDS SHOW EVER…Well, let’s see…the only event to have MISS LIZA MINNELLI stroll on to the stage looking (sorry Christian) FIERCE AS HELL in a black mini skirt and grace America (she could have stayed at home polishing her Emmy, Oscar, Golden Globe, 3 Tonys and Grammy) with her presence.
So, sorry Bravo (stick with Project Runway) and GLAAD (stick to sending ten email media alerts a day). The gayest show of the year HAS to be The Tonys. Liza and her tampon are never wrong!!
