L'Oreal Signs Kyan Douglas as New Spokesperson
Monday October 18, 2:35 pm ET

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- L'Oreal announces the signing of an exclusive worldwide contract with beauty authority and Emmy Award winner Kyan Douglas of television's hit series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" as a spokesperson and consultant for the company and its brands. In a modern and innovative move for the beauty industry, Douglas will become L'Oreal's first spokesperson for all categories: cosmetics, skincare and hair products for both women and men. In his new role, Douglas will advise and educate consumers and will also consult on new product development.

"I've always been a fan of L'Oreal products and have used them both professionally and at home, so I'm very excited to work with the company," said Douglas. "I love L'Oreal's philosophy of 'I'm Worth It.' It really relates to the work I've done in the past to help people look and feel good and to try and give them the confidence to go after what they want in life."

Carol J. Hamilton, president and general manager of the L'Oreal Paris division of L'Oreal USA, Inc., added, "As his huge fan following will tell you, Kyan always has the perfect grooming advice, always given with a healthy dose of humor. We are thrilled to welcome Kyan to the L'Oreal family, where he can continue to share his expertise and help make both men and women feel better about themselves."

Douglas gained nationwide fame as the "Grooming Guru" of the "Fab Five," the men who dispense up-to-the-minute fashion and styling advice on the television series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." A specialist in men's skin care, Douglas received his certification in cosmetology from the Aveda Institute New York and worked as a colorist at the Arrojo Studio in New York City. He has also worked as a colorist for television programs, including The Learning Channel's "What Not To Wear" and "While You Were Out" and for magazines such as Child. His first book, "Beautified," will be published later this month.

The L'Oreal Paris division of L'Oreal USA, Inc. is a total beauty care company with such well-known products as Preference, Excellence Creme, Feria, Feria for Men, Couleur Experte, ColorSpa Moisture Actif and ColorSpa for Men haircolor, Studio Line styling products, the VIVE line of shampoos and conditioners, the L'Oreal Kids hair care line, Dermo-Expertise and Body Expertise skincare and L'Oreal Color Cosmetics.

Thank you for the info and Congratulations Kyan!!! I use some of the L'Oreal products already so this is great! Do you think he will be making appreances in major dept. stores like "Macy's" at the Mall of America? I'm still waiting for you to come back to Minnesota Kyan!
Kyanites: Let's cross our fingers for television commercials as well as some tasty print ads too!

Does anyone know the next time Sean's episode will be on?

Hi De!
Nice to see you back! Yes, Brittney's man on QE. Well, maybe our new L'Oreal spokesman can help him out! I'm just imagining in my head what those commercials and prints ads will look like...I'll be in the bookstore flipping through all the men's and women's magazines to look for them and yes, I'll will buy the magazine, I won't rip out the ad. I'm a good girl! But when it comes to Kyan well...

Hi guys~

I haven't been around in awhile and I thought I would pop in and say hello and tell you about my wonderful weekend....I'm not rubbing it in, I promise! I just thought you all might want to hear about it! And BTW, I miss you all!

OK, so I am totally in love with Carson...absolutely, he makes me laugh so much! And though it was wonderful to meet Kyan, when I found out Carson was coming to the cities....well you can be sure I planned my weekend around it! We got there early just because I had heard horror stories of past posters about their adventures at home and garden shows. It was first come, first serve....for 1200 people. We sat in the 5th row and waited. Marshall Fields had a whole set for him complete w/ couches, tables, chairs, lamps. It was really great. He came out and everyone screamed. He is so beautiful. He was wearing Louis Vuitton logoed slippers, jeans, a belt w/ lots of bling on it, a purple RL shirt w/ the logo all over it and a tan leather jacket. He is so funny. I was wondering if he acted the way he did because of the cameras...nope he really is that quick and sooo funny. He's kinda full of himself but it works. He answered everyones questions and let it known that everyone but he and Jai have partners and that they plan on coming to the cities to do makeovers soon within the next few seasons. He knew alot about the local area...he visits often. It was the greatest hour ever and he kept everyone laughing. Afterwards he said he was going to autograph everything and everyone could come touch him. I wasn't really sure what he was going to autograph because I have the Fab 5 book, CD, calendar, etc. And I didn't want to buy his new book because frankly I'm not a guy and I already know how to dress. So I was pleased to hear this. The line went around the room it was so long and he took the time to get to know everyone's name and take pictures and sign ANYTHING and he talked to peoples friends on their cell phones. He was really sweet about everything. It was very nice of him, I thought he might be a bit of a diva. Before we got up there he stood up and said he was sorry because he had a plane to catch, we all dropped our mouths, but then he said just kidding. I got up there and had him sign my calendar because Kyan did...he is Mr. October after all! And he signed 2 pictures of his headshot. He told me loved my name and then we took a picture together and then we hugged. He is soo tiny and lithe. He is so skinny and just adorable. I think I could die happy after this. I was on air. Then we left the convention center and he and his entourage walked out right after us to get to the parking garage. Surreal, completly surreal. He decided not to take the elevator so I said good bye and some girl figured out who it was and freaked and ran after him. It was funny!
So the next day he was at the MOA and I had some friends meeting us there so they could meet him. It was so strict because it was put on by Barnes and Noble...so he was ONLY signing his book, you needed a wristband to get in line, no pictures would be taken, and you had to put everything away before you got on stage. So we kinda just watched from the 2nd level while he danced to the CD and he read a part of his book which he had done the day before as well. He would do voices and he was soo cute. He made a comment about someone getting him egg rolls so me and my friends decided that would be our job. So we went shopping and kinda took our time because we didn't want to wait in a long line w/ food. Well, someone else brought him egg rolls so then we felt lost. So, we decided we would get him Godiva chocolates...only the best for Carson so as we were getting them my mom called me and said they were taking down the barriers so I better hurry but they had to put the chocolates in a box and then gift wrap it. We ran back and they wouldn't let us in line. WE told them all we wanted to do was give him something and not get anything signed. He was actually being very nice and still asked everyone their names and signed stuff and was taking pictures with everyone despite the rules handed out. So this guy told us to talk to the security guard and they told us to talk to another security guard...and they were actually upset that they wouldn't let us in and give it to him.So we were kinda behind the scenes...it was held in a rotunda but a stage set up w/ a backdrop and we were looking at him from the side and the back. They told us to write a note and they'd give it to him but my friend was like, just give it to him and point to us....so as she made her way up the stage he turned jumped up and came over and was like "STOP!" No you didn't and gave us each a hug. I could tell he recognized me and was searching for my name. We told him they wouldn't let us in but we wanted to give him something, so he held up the line to do this and took another pic w/ us. Then sat down and dug into his present and opened it up and showed everyone. He then started giving it away and we yelled, "Uh, Carson, it's for you". He's like I'm sharing, do you want some? We said, "no, it's for you." He's like, "no, come here" and opened the curtain and came out the back and held out the chocolates for us to have and thanked us again for them.
He is so nice and really went out of his way to please everyone and make sure everyone got time w/ him and I just love him more for it. He was charming, funny, and sweet. I am so thankful to have met him. I truly am lucky...seeing as he is my favorite. And he had the best shoes ever! I told him I loved them. So, I had a wonderful weekend and I hope all of you get to meet at least one of them because it is worth it. I am now ending this truly long post! I hope you don't think I am a stalker!

Oh Aurora! LONG TIME NO POST, HON!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the long and detailed virtual tour! I am deeply jealous but so glad you let me live vicariously through your experience! (I'm so thrilled for everyone that gets to do this!)

Sigh... next time at Neiman's - I'll get some Godiva and think of dearest Carson! Egg rolls? I'll run get tonight! There are three Asian food places less than a block from my house! Peace! (De-lush-ous!) --De
