I have a shameful secret... I am a big crybaby. I get inexplicably teary in situations ranging from watching television commercials to reading children's books to listening to music, even when the medium isn't particularly sad or objectively affecting.
So tonight, during Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, I had tears streaming down my cheek. Yes. Really.
Truly, though, this was a genuinely touching episode of a series that I fully expected to hate but find that I quite enjoy, and that shows some real bonds being forged between the gay men and their straight protgs. Tonight, especially, I was on the edge of my seat, along with the Fab Five, waiting to hear the answer to the straight guy's proposal of marriage. And earlier, when he started tearing up himself when the Five showed him the garden setting for the proposal, I was moist right along with him.
Or maybe that was just because he was so hot.
I was drooling the whole episode, heh. Him and Kyan in the bathroom... SO many naughty thoughts.
But anyway, I hope, like Six Feet Under, this is just the series hitting its stride on the fourth episode and it only gets better from here.
And then there was the gratuitous shirtless (damn that towel draped over his shoulders!) shot of Kyan as he did his shampoo tip at the end of the episode. I'd been expecting that.
And he even didn't remove the towel! The least they could've done was give us a nice full-chest shot...
I have that same shameful secret. Are you a Cancer? =) I blame it all on my sign.
FWIW, Tre, I'm a double Leo (sun and moon) with Aquarius rising (and a water Tiger in Chinese astrology).
In fact, tomorrow is my birthday: 8:16 p.m., Lammas Eve.
