Have you ever heard of this magazine before? I picked up an old issue(Nov. 24, 2003) and there was my fave Fab 5 on the cover in color!!! What a handsome side profile face photo!!
Thom's article was about the finalization w/ Pier One...
Ted and Car are also featured in this magazine(no photos)
Ted(on getting recognized in public) did a quote on page 11..." God, the power of television compared to the power of magazines..."
Car's mention(p. 21) was in the "Heat Index" just a siginng with US Weekly magazine-2 monthly fashion columns...

Depoetic has survived the hurricanes and wanted me to pass along this tidbit: Ted and Jai are guest commentators on a VH1 special called "Awesomely Bad Celebrity Fashion". She said the guys are hysterically funny on it so check your t.v. schedules and prepare to have a good laugh. Gotta love that girl......she's still watching out for us!

I'm glad she is ok....and that she can still keep an eye out for the guys,especially what she went through ...we're with you!!

Good to hear from De again. I also have a heads up--saw a show on Bravo last night called "It's Good to be ...." and there are several categories. Last night at QE's usual time was "It's good to be Queer" 1 hour, 20 reasons it's good, and commentary from a variety of gays and lesbians.
Ted and Jai (coincidence?) were commentators on this show and were also very funny. I don't think I've ever seen Jai so funny--usually he is just sensitive. And Ted had some interesting comments, especially in regard to real estate. Keep your eyes peeled and see if you can catch it again--I think the series is running all week during prime time.

P.S., Notey,
If you are reading here, I agree with you about Will and Grace. I've given up on the reruns after only 3 weeks. The dialog is hysterical but I really DON'T like any of the characters that much. Too neurotic! And 'Karen's' voice just makes me crazy. Sorta the same way Fran Drescher's voice did--never could stand the Nanny, either.

Jai also popped up briefly in Great Things About Being Fat, which I think is also rerunning this week.

I'm sure that, individually. the actors are fine people, it's just that both shows are so divorced from reality for most people that the comedy, while clever, falls flat. It's very rare that an ensemble transcends the material. The Fab 5, while each special, are such an ensemble. The choicest chosen family!

Of course, I watched the Bravo shows about what is great about Queer and 30.. which I will BE next year. Ted and Jai and Graham Norton were funny on both shows. Jay McCarroll from Project Runway was hilarious on the 30 show. Austin from Runway was amusing, at least in his manner of dress. I did not understand at all why the #1 Great thing about being gay turned out to be Cher. I would have voted for sex, myself. I really think many straight guys are missing out. The #1 great thing about 30 was thankfully not Cher who must be 50ish, but stupidly it was the fact that one was not 40 yet. That lacked imagination. I think the best thing about 30 is that one finally has a bit of finesse in the romance department. I mean there are some things that need more practice than a 20 year old should have anywayhow...

Since I'm double 30 I didn't watch that one. But I would have to agree with you that 'not 40 yet' is VERY unimaginative. I would say the greatest thing about 30 is you're half way to 60 hey, it ain't been that bad so far, surprisingly.
As for Cher-- I'm betting on the far side of 50--gonna go look it up if she has the nerve to tell. Yep! Born May 20, 1946--seeing 60 next May! G-d--I wish my 60 year old mind and attitude and joy would fit into her 59 year old body! Or maybe not--I'm not into surgery.

I posted on the Fab forum first so oops I guess people did see it! Yes, Jai was funny! I also had to watch the blonde one since I was born one but I'm not one of those buxom Pam Anderson babes! I also enjoyed the blonde names which thanks to my mother I have one of those and then at the end of that they show Carson and then said Kressley! Welcome to the club, Carson!

I'm gonna have to check out the other "Great Things" shows. I'm sure a marathon of these will be coming up.

Last Night there was a show on at about 7 pm called Latino Beginnings....I saw clips....girls telling their mothers that they were lesbians, coming out to their moms, and telling their moms that they will never be marrying a man.

Did you catch the show last night?

I'm not SLB, but I saw it! Ted was great, and looked great, but I thought the segment was way too rushed. They should have given him more time.

I heard from a friend that he made the same thing, in the Andrew L. eppy, right? That was unfortunate that Ted's show segment was rushed. Ky's wasn't when he talked about Lucky Charms cereal. It was great for the Ted fans to see him on tv

On his website, I read that his partner, Barry is an interior designer. I didn't know this.
Is he a well-known designer?
I only know one interior designer that's #1!

Guess Barry thought it was time for a change....from Professor to Interior Designer.....now we have 2 designers in the QE family....where Thom does high end clients maybe Barry will focus on the every day clients-us!!

I'm not sure about that. He was a journalism professor at Columbia College in Chicago, and was the head of that department. So unless he just decided on a radical career change...

October 14, 2005 - 03:25 PM

I think that is basically what happened. I don't know if he just decided to try something new or if maybe it had been something he'd had an interest in for a while, but Ted mentioned I think last year that Barry was interested in pursuing a new career in interior design. God knows what his new career actually involves, though.

Sue Wicks also is a lesbian, playing for the NY Liberty WNBA.

I have! I met him at a book signing. He's a very nice, funny, down to Earth guy. Just like he is on the TV. You should definitely go and see him. The TV doesn't do justice to his blue eyes!

Just want to remind those of you who are interested that Ted's book "The Food You Want To Eat" is available now. You can purchase it at amazon.com. Ted's promoting his book on his book tour right now. You can read more about it on Ted's website www.tedallen.net and if possible, try to meet him when he comes to your area. Let's keep good thoughts for the success of Ted's book and the continued success of QE. WE LOVE YOU, TED XOXO

And I just have to say that I bought it - and it's WELL worth the $! I love to cook but I'm very hit-or-miss about it, and the three things I've made so far were just wonderful. Mac & cheese, mushroom risotto, and this REALLY great pasta with garlic, olive oil, asaigo (asiago?) cheese and broccoli. The recipes are just complicated enough to be fun, he explains everything very well, and the food was incredibly good. Plus, it's a fun read.

I spent Nov. 1-5 in Key West for her wedding and tourist stuff. FUN! I even went to a drag show one night--a first for me--with my son and daughter-in-law. Probably not the best show in the world--the music was all canned and lip-synced--but great characters. 'Tina Turner' was 64 years old! Wish I had legs like hers!!! In fact all the queens had great legs!

Is that her with the dolphin? How fun! I'd love to go to Key West. I had a friend living in Sarasota a few years ago and we kept trying to make it down to Key West when I'd visit, but it was a loooooooog way from Sarasota. Glad you got to spend some time there!
