• IN THE "EYE" OF THE BEHOLDER:
  Drew:  (insistantly) Dude,
  listen to me, this Queer Eye is all about learning how to look good
  and... you know becoming more cultured and stuff.
  
  Will:  (totally appalled) Well why would I want to look good for five gay guys?  That's just messed up.
  
  Drew:  (laughs) No, you aren't looking good for them but for everyone around you (waves hands)
  
  Will:  (hesitantly, scratches chin) Alright, if I'm not too busy I'll pop it in and watch but don't expect anything.
  
  Drew:  (smugly hands over the DVD) Oh you won't be let down.

  The mystery is over, that is how I came into possession of the second
  season of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.  Of course, I did not
  bother informing anyone about it so there really was no mystery at
  all.  Yesterday after watching the first episode, it is quite
  interesting.  Yes, the fab 5 are flamboyantly gay but in a funny
  way.  Thankfully they are not flaming as then I would probably
  lose the kimbop I had for lunch.  I walked away from the first
  episode with respect for those who are gifted with an insight on
  design and color coordination.  You have the straight guy who I
  can relate to very well, living very basic or simple life... the guys
  come in and do a total revamp of the apartment, personal looks,
  wardrobe and grooming to create the new and improved image (which does
  not look like he just stepped off the float from the gay pride parade
  might I add).  The whole show is about them helping improve other
  peoples' lives by improving their image and instilling confidence into
  who they are. That is what I have taken away from the show... which is
  something I wish I could help others do but alas I am lost in the
  purgatory of fashion design ignorance.  So better start with
  reading the above.  In closing, Drew, once again I have learned
  from you, next Friday I want to buy you a round, my metro friend,
  my hat is off to you.
