It’s Tuesday night, so of course that means Queer Eye. Speaking of the show, Kyan’s tutorial on shaving (in the second episode) inspired me to put aside my usual can of foaming shave gel, and instead try one of the product samples I got at the Grooming Lounge last month: Jack Black beard lube, “with jojoba and eucalyptus.” Mmm, tingly. I like it. It’s clear, so I can actually see where I’m shaving. I think I’ll go back to either the Grooming Lounge or Sephora to stock up on a whole kit of shaving supplies. (Any product recommendations, ye gentlemen?)
But back to Bravo: Boy Meets Boy premieres tonight. Hm. I’ll withhold judgment until I’ve seen it. Related article on gay-themed TV in today’s Times.
If you’re all Bravo-ed out, go instead to the Independent Film Channel and check out the 1960s French adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, entitled Plein Soleil (released in English as “Purple Noon”), with the young Alain Delon in the title role. A classic movie all around. And on BBC America, Ground Force debuts a new series, bringing its magic of landscape transformation across the pond to America’s gardens.
Beard “lube”? With jojoba?
Could that be any gayer? That may just put my cucumber-scented “shower chiffon” to shame.
Damn if that wasn’t a fabulous episode of QEftSG. I think that was a tear…
I’ll get back to you in an hour on BmB.
Heh… I had just sent Jeff an email letting him know that I’d been practically sobbing like a baby during that episode, and was in the midst of drafting my own blog posting admitting the same.
Okay. I admit it. I liked the show. Even though I think what they’re doing is incredibly cruel and evil and worthy of the ninth ring of hell, it’s a damn good hook. I’ll probably continue to beat myself up for wanting to watch it, but who knows.
