I like Queer Eye. I think Carson is adorable in his comments and mannerisms. He's effeminate but he's real. I love the commedian Ant. Have you seen his show? He goes all across America talking to gay people he finds in the most unlikely of places. He would hardly be mistaken for a straight guy, and in his comedy routine he really plays up his fem mannerisms, but still he's very real. These guys, wether they are gay or straight, are playing these characters like over the top stereotypes but not for comedic effect. Unless that was the point and I just missed it entirely. Is it supposed to be a big joke?

I haven't seen Ant but sounds funny!

I don't know if the Sunsilk thing was supposed to be a big joke but Micah McCain (one of the guys) is a commedian. Here he is pasted below promoting one of his shows. I think that's him in drag on the shave gel can:



He's an L.A. guy and performs in West Hollywood according to his site: http://www.micahmccain.com/news.html

Here is his blog... ask him if he was camping it up http://shutupiknow.blogspot.com/

But to be honest I think he's just being himself. This is him in another project, and him just being himself:





Now that I think about it.... one of the things that makes the Sunsilk hairapy thing so off the cuff is the color scheme. Take the guys are they are dressed, change the color scheme to earth tones (for example) and it gives them a totally different feel, but I dunno I'm no the designer type
