Queen for a Day

摘要

Last Tuesday's episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" made this gay-straight alliance cry―twice. The first time came min utes into Jersey City urban cowboy John B.'s makeover (mission: help him propose to his girlfriend) when the Fab Five's clothing expert, Carson Kressley, rifled through his closet and pulled out a particularly gruesome button-down shirt. "Where did you buy this?" Kressley asked. John winced. "Um, Kmart." Kressley pressed two fingers to John's lips. "Hey," he said, "don't you use that kind of language around me." We laughed till we cried. The second time came just before the Fab Five left John to fly solo through his proposal dinner. The gay miracle workers and their straight subject raised glasses of champagne, and John―his apartment painted and redecorated, his body refitted in classic Ralph Lauren, his engagement ring stashed romantically in a box of Parisian chocolate―got choked up himself. It was poindess to resist.
