I think this is just a melancholy time of year for a lot of people. February 22nd is the anniversary of my husband's death so this is always a bit rough for me. Now I have the Fab 5 to help me out a little, but even that can be tough. A little while ago, I was staring at a photo of Thom that I keep at my desk and a song by The Cure came on:
"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel"
It can be overwhelming, but we can get through it. And TTB is always there for us. I love you guys.

While I wouldn't say Thom's haircut is awful, it is a bit too short and choppy. Sometimes I'm not sure what the concept was, what he was thinking about doing with a short, choppy haircut. I absolutely loved the longer hair, with its waves and curls and flips, it seemed more flexible and smooth, like his personality. It framed his gorgeous face just right. I think he should grow it out again, it made him look younger and was very flattering on him.

I love the Fab Five. Of all the makeover shows on the air now, this is definitely the best. You guys are so NICE and genuinely interested in helping these people uncover their most attractive selves. I saw you on with Matt Lauer and you were awesome. Thanks for making me smile every week and I can't wait for your new episode...

I have been remiss and didn't leave a money-plant in a red planter (very feng-shui for good fortune) on your doorstep as a congrats. Woops, sorry.
Bit pensive. Bit distrait. Had the final fitting appointment for my new, fabulous wardrobe of fashionista garments, the sun was shinning, the sky was blue and the birds were singing, dum-de-dah-de-dum....and then I read this post about my "grandiose" number of posts. That made me go, hmmmm. I have only ka-chinged-up 300 posts. I wonder if they would dare stand toe-to-toe and say "grandiose" to the forum's 500+ poster.....had a little think, got a heaping-helping of the blues.
Yeah, I do gossip the day away, squeaking and twittering about nothing of any great importance.
Until the semester commences in ten days I am really at a loose end work-wise and pounding the keyboard at least makes me look industrious....and I am a "home-alone" at night, sitting up waiting up for my bf to finish his twelve-hour Intensive-Care shift.
I don't like to be asleep when he comes in, and as he also does these "life-flight" air-transfers with patients, it helps to keep my mind off the fact that he is travelling hundreds of kilometres in a medic-helicopter. That makes me quite anxious and I do what ever I can to take my mind off the long miles and the empty hours between us. I worry about him when he has to escort some accident or spinal/burns vic to another hospital.
My fingers busy themselves to keep my nervousness at bay. I fret when my baby is in the air. Sometimes he has to go the length of the country and even out to vessels off the coast in emergencies. It scares me.
I began to wonder what the "other posters" really think of me?...perhaps Tick - it is time to check the timetables for the next stage-coach out of Dodge City. Load up the Louis Vuitton steamer trunk and hand luggage and haul ass.
Actually dragged the steamer trunk over to the chiffarobe and started to transfer my designer casual wear into it's tissue-paper wraps......pausing just long enough to ask, "Okay folks, who, amongst those of you assembled here, actally enjoys what I write.....speak now or forever hold your peace....do you like having me around or am I like a total duckwit?" I am the token poof but it is essential an all-girl enterprise - *sigh* I am probably just in the way.
Doing a survey....wanting some feedback, to find out whether I should stay and open my own atelier as a fully-fledged fashionista or put an egg in my boogie shoes and beat it.
Gimme feedback. Ta ever so.

Hang in there PaTee, and don't give up the ship. I've been where you are before, and things have a way of working out just when you least expect it. I started a brand new career 2 years ago, at double what I was making, and I'm MUCH closer to 50 than to 40 (I won't say on which side of the half-century I come down). Don't be afraid to ask for help if you get in a real bind. When the power company cut off the lights I swallowed my pride and went to an agency. Now I'm in a position where I can donate back to them what they gave me. HUGS to you, and keep your chin up.

Okay, don't anyone kick me offa the boards for this, but I have a confession to make: In '98 and '99, I had a crush on Conan. Maybe I'm obsessive-compulsive or something, but I need a crush to fixate upon. (I know, I know, but therapy is just too expensive at this time) I've had even more embarrasing celeb crushes before that, although non-celebrity crushes are the really heartbreaking kind. This was pre-Queer Eye and I couldn't find anyone better to moon over at the time.
Girl, I once had a crush on Ryan Stiles, about two years ago. For anyone who remembers Whose Line is it Anyway?, Ryan was the really tall, really funny one. He always wore the crazy shoes. He's like 40 something, and I was 15/16 at the time of my obsession. Now that's insanity. I also went through a really intense John Cusack phase, but that's understandable... not Ryan Stiles... what was I thinking?? And almost everyone needs some kind of crush to fixate on. It's natural. And let's face it, sometimes we fall for the strangest of celebs, but it's not like we can help it or anything.

This is what I think of you, tick: sometimes you make me upset...but then so does my daughter and I still love her. More often than you make me upset, you make me smile. Though you may be compared to Carson alot, you are also your own person and a person who I enjoy having around. I don't think of you as a man, as a woman, or as a gay man - I think of you as "tick". It may seem like mostly women rule the boards - no, ok, mostly women DO rule the boards, but if you like it here, despite what anyone else thinks or has to say, then stay. No one can make you leave but you (ok, and well the mods can).
I've watched you over on the hints and tips board and you are such a whiz there. You jump right in with sound advice and even if it weren't sound, you try your best. You can't expect anything better from a fellow human being. Was thinking they should rename the hints and tips board "The Tick Board" - seriously. Do I read what you have to say? Yes, I try my best to catch every post you make. But times are getting harder and I can't keep up or post like I used to - and after reaching my first level of Thomism, I don't think I want to! lol
So in conclusion, I'll end this rant by saying that I consider you an invaluable asset to this community and that if you ever left, it would be like removing a piece of its heart.
love ya

I live in New York and actually and met the Fab 5 at a book signing recently automatically making Thom into my favorite guy. I love them all to bits and pieces and they were all sweethearts but Thom was just amazing. I was glad to see a lot of people are here are fans of his since the world seems to be lacking them! Mucho love to the Fab 5.

Tick, here's what I think: I understand your worries about your boyfriend at work, but I'm surprised that an usually confident diva like you is sounding so insecure about yourself. You are a Leo, my dear, stand proud and shine in your spotlight. As for whether people here like you or not, do what I do and post anyway, regardless. I'm not gonna take an opinion poll to determine whether I should keep posting (besides, I don't ask if I'm afraid I won't like the answer) - I do what I feel like doing! Confidence isn't something you fish for, it's all about self-asssurance, which comes from within.

Oh, [censored]! I went out for a happy hour this evening, had a small dinner and 2 screwdrivers. Right after I got home, (no, didn't drive) I got on these boards and felt "extra-social" so I posted MANY times.
Hip Tip: Never drink and post! (P.W.I.)
Why, you ask? Because ironically enough, after thinking about Tick's and TTB's promotions to their fave Fab 5 guys' levels, I got promoted out of Kyanism. I don't wanna graduate. *Waah! I got Ajax on my ass* This after telling the mods not to bother promoting me. Oh, wait. I did say, "unless there's another category of Kyanism to aspire to". Hmmm. Well, I still love you best, Kyan. Now, if I had to choose a member of the Fab 5 as a roommate, it would be Ted, if he was single. We would get along swell because we're both easy-going types and I really am an aspiring gourmet. I love gourmet food. Eating it, anyway. I have a very discerning palate, if I do say so myself. Although my cooking smells and tastes great, I still have alot to learn about garnishing and menu coordination. BTW, after reading my bad news, I'm sober now. (Picturing Kyan in a cop uniform, handcuffing me, "Ma'am, you're under arrest for P.W.I. We're going to have to confiscate your well-coifed license")

I actually did get to record that. First off, Kyan's outfit was HARRIBLE!!!! He had on black leather pants with a red/white racing stripe down the side, a black turttle neck, and a black blazer in a lighter shade of black. Not the best outfit in the world.
...........ANYWHO, Thom was very cute as usual and said that all the women thought he was the "straight one". He said that once he threw a shoe down some stairs and it hit Kyan right in the face. DOH! Carson looked good in a "YOU GO GAY!" sweater vest with a pink button up and black tie. I wasn't too crazy about Jai's green strippy shirt either. AND Ted always looks super classy.

You surprise me. Really. I thought you were the BMOC, and so this post is a major head scratcher. I don't understand your self-doubt. You're my favorite! I love your posts. Yeah, sometimes they stray to verbose, but your language is colorful and challenging. Sometimes I have to reach for the dictionary, but I think that's great. Learn something new. Sometimes I have to reach for my old college copy of Harrap's Concise French. I so love the French language! *Snaps* to you for using it. Are you a writer? Maybe you should be. Actually, I think I'd like to see you as fashion critic, either to read in print or to take the place of Joan Rivers after every awards show. Furthermore, I thought we, you and I, were going to develop an interesting banter.
As for my remark about the grandiose number of posts, I'd have to ask why you care what I think. Actually, I have a small amount of envy for whatever extra amount of free time you have to be able to do so. I find TTB's 500 a bit obsessive. However, she seems to be very sweet and this obviously makes her happy. She's not hurting anyone, so type away. Can we just let this go now? Please?
Perk up my little sunflower. I want my Ticktick back. TTFN.

It almost seems to me like a rite of passage, like getting kicked out of a bar, or something. I've arrived. But I'll keep it from happening again.

If I had known sooner...that's only an hour away from me, but my daughter has "Pony Camp" this weekend and I can't skip that. Thought I'd pass on the info if someone who is close enough and is pretty spontaneous...GO GO Go! P.S. Can't "anyone" post appearance info so that we know where the Guys will be, so we might be able to see them when they come to our town?

I just read online that Olympic Figure Skating champion (Bronze medal, I think) JOHN ZIMMERMAN is going to get made over on the March 9 episode of Queer Eye and I CAN'T WAIT. He was supposed to be on in late February, but his episode got switched around. That guy better have his shirt off for more than a minute. Talk about hot, hot, hot.
He is one of the most stunning men I've ever seen. I realize he married his childhood sweetheart (or something like that) in Rome, Italy a short while ago, but he is still the most amazing eye candy.
I can't wait to see if Kyan is going to trim those golden locks.
I can't believe I have to wait until March 9, but man oh man, is it ever going to be worth it. Zimmerman is utterly and totally gorgeous.
Of course, the FAB 5 is gonna have to go to New Jersey to tackle Zimmerman, always a trip (in more ways than one) and I wonder how they're going to work his fame and wife into the picture.
Since the guy is drop-dead gorgeous, I assume the problem is that he lives like a slob and can't cook his way out of a paper bag. He is a darlin' Alabama-born hunkeroo who now lives and goes to school in the Metro NYC/NJ area and his skating coaches are in the area, too. But I can't imagine what his problems are going to be. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. I'm assuming Jai will find him total eye candy because that Culture boy's eyes do pop out at some of the hotties. Like at Jeff the Sasquatch postman's hunky college-age son.
John Zimmerman, I will be a-watching.

Keep thinking optimistically! heres a qoute that has inspired me in the past "The brave may not live forever but the cowardly do not live at all" so just remember to look on the bright side of things. As carson says "there's nothing wrong with being 100% you" I think very randomly.(lol) I love a great inspirational qoute. maybe thats why i love the fab five.

Yes I hope they wont find us too creepy(though I doubt they have time(those busy hollywood boys of ours) to read the boards)! I do have good reasons for liking them though:
1. The show always cheers me up.
2. I love dancing to the cd
3. The boys are so handsome!
4. They show is so funny, positive and uplifting!
5. They may insult the straight guy in the begenning(it's all in good fun)but in the end they build them up(buttercup!).
6. They are such great, genuine guys.
7. They give such great advice!
8. They help these guys feel better about themselves and their lives, I'm sure it's a life changing experience.
9. They seem to really sincerely care!
10.I am a liberal-democrat but i have close friends who are conservative-republicans and I have them watching the show! The guys have shown me(and hopefully others) just how wrong it is to dicriminate against gay people.(not that i did!) btw I am so for gay marriage!I'm a straight female but these guys are just so wonderfull and hopefully all things will just keep getting better!

Thank you for the welcome! Me and my friend had been bored while waiting on line to meet the Fab 5 so we were just tying string together that she had in her bag to make bracelets, we made 5 so we thought "Why not give these to them?" We were still debating on what to say so it just made sense to have something to talk about. When we got up there Thom was first so we just gave them to him and he was a huge sweetheart, he thanked us a million times and told us how he used to make 'friendship bracelets'. He even said he was going to wear them, which I doubt he will, but he was nice enough to actually say it lol. And I will tell you, he is even more beautiful in real life then on television if that is even a possibility.

Okay, don't anyone kick me offa the boards for this, but I have a confession to make: In '98 and '99, I had a crush on Conan. Maybe I'm obsessive-compulsive or something, but I need a crush to fixate upon. (I know, I know, but therapy is just too expensive at this time) I've had even more embarrasing celeb crushes before that, although non-celebrity crushes are the really heartbreaking kind. This was pre-Queer Eye and I couldn't find anyone better to moon over at the time.
Girl, I once had a crush on Ryan Stiles, about two years ago. For anyone who remembers Whose Line is it Anyway?, Ryan was the really tall, really funny one. He always wore the crazy shoes. He's like 40 something, and I was 15/16 at the time of my obsession. Now that's insanity. I also went through a really intense John Cusack phase, but that's understandable... not Ryan Stiles... what was I thinking?? And almost everyone needs some kind of crush to fixate on. It's natural. And let's face it, sometimes we fall for the strangest of celebs, but it's not like we can help it or anything.
Ok, don't know if I'll get any flack for this one but I had a thing for Denis Leary. He was most cute and that voice was killer! He played Diego in Ice Age, it came on tonight...his voice in saber tooth form was serious! Not as serious as my hubby's, but still serious.

no! I love Thom's new haircut! His face looks a hundred times cuter! I think he's handsome actually. They were on PBS last night at 12:00 on the Charlie Rose show. lol - they all looked really cute and they were talking abuot the show and the fun they have. Thom looked gorgeous! I couldn't sleep after I watched the show.. Do I need a boyfriend or what??
Nah, why would anyone need a boyfriend when they could just think about Thom? He makes everything else seem so much the lesser

You surprise me. Really. I thought you were the BMOC, and so this post is a major head scratcher. I don't understand your self-doubt. You're my favorite! I love your posts. Yeah, sometimes they stray to verbose, but your language is colorful and challenging. Sometimes I have to reach for the dictionary, but I think that's great. Learn something new. Sometimes I have to reach for my old college copy of Harrap's Concise French. I so love the French language! *Snaps* to you for using it. Are you a writer? Maybe you should be. Actually, I think I'd like to see you as fashion critic, either to read in print or to take the place of Joan Rivers after every awards show.
All very well said and true of tick, spiderella - and I think him doing a spot after an awards show is a BRILLIANT idea! Come on mods, take note! Tick is a natural, there's GOT to be a place for him somewhere in the spotlight.

Obsessive? OBSESSIVE?? *draws QE book, audio book, dvd, cd, pictures, posters close while working on 2 school projects, re-arranging my living room, feeding child, and contemplating the sudden influx of clients at work* Only "obsessive"? Darn, I was going for whackadoodle! Thanks s-girl

Holy Blue-blooded, Panic-Attack-in-Public, Batman!
Well, kids, it looks like Her Radiant August Omnipotence might have fried more than a few synapses. Loosen those stays and waft some sal volatile under the Royal nostrils. Dip a hanky in some single malt for Her Royal Collapsedness to suck on.
Self-doubt. Aah! THAT is what I am all about. A tiny screamimg Mimi. This fruit is a fruit-loop.

Actually, I have a small amount of envy for whatever extra amount of free time you have to be able to do so.
Ssssh! In fact I lurk behing my pot-plant arbour and surreptiously post around my mundane quotidian duties. Have lap-top! Post at all hours of the day and night! Anytime, anywhere!
Summer School Office Monitor is not taxing as a workload for me and things in this departmental office will be waaaay slow until the first semester begins and then.....*hyperventilating*
......and then, I begin my MA. Which is the reason for my totally, hysterical panic-attack. I am in Panic Mode. In Doubt Mode. I have a BA and a BSc - fa' Heaven's Sake - two Bachelor degrees are enough for anybody. I always meant to do an MA, but I didn't particularly care for the guy who would be my thesis supervisor. But he has departed and so, I have no excuses left.
Inspired by all those things that are getting better and Carson having a first in an MA - I thought I might just give it a go. Lawdy! So much money for tuition fees! So much work involved....Can I? Can't I? Should vs shouldn't? ..total obliterating panic and self-doubt. I was so strung out, I was unable to co-ordinate myself dressing - that is like GS 6 in brainstrain. I was limp, frazzled and utterly dejected. Overwrought.
My sweet bf is comforting and encouraging - but he doesn't have this self-doubt and perfectionism thing going on, he doesn't entertain self-doubt....he just up-and-at-'ems and gives everything a go. I am the sookie la-la in the team.
I get anxious and fretful, because I always think I could have done better, if only I had tried a bit harder.
Perfectionism is a curse! Please, just take me out and shoot me.
I am compelled to "stress" post at night as well. Posting is my "security blankie." I do like to be awake when my sweetie comes in the door after a late-night shift. I like to hug him and get kisses back from him and I am convinced and worried that I snore sometimes and snoring is *so* not glamorous.
Don't worry, my postings will plummet as my workload mounts. I find pounding the keyboard somewhat relaxing late at night - when it is too late to vacuum or scrub the tub or pull weeds as a stress-release. I worry about my baby, 'coptering off, to administer to some unfortunate who ran their car into a bridge siding or a tree. He is safe in the air, but I still worry.
Thanks for paying me compliments, but, underneath the racket and foofaraw - I am actually shy. No confidence to write!

Are you kidding!? Yes, I have to sit on my posts like an over-full suitcase to close them..... *sigh*....so sorry. Hey, what is the superlative of verbose? Whatever it is - that is what I am.....
I know - it is my failing - I add the kitchen sink and then go back for the bathtub, the paddling-pool and all the pots and pans.....and then the coffee cups.
I am also way too pushy and inya face.
But, I am just a tiny menace - and here I will make all the moms go "Aaaaah." I was the widdlest baby. I was a preemie and weighed a whole 2lb 10ozs - with a little squinchy face and widdle pink feet, squeaking and yelling from the git go. A pushy, little princess even then.

Hang on. TTB gets my applause. TTB has always been the very first one to welcome all the newcomers to the board with very real warmth and interest.
Whereas, I usually just breeze in and start poking around, doing a qualitative survey of what is in everyone's wardrobe and casting sideways "omigods" at their shoe racks. Sometimes I remember to say "Hallo" but not often.
TTB approaches her posts with vivacity and imagination - she is much venerated and lauded as the Oracle of Thom.
And she keeps me in line....which is a good thing, I say.

Tiggertuf........thanks for making me a cup of hot sweet tea and pushing the bumper-economy box of tissues over to me. You gave me my good side and my haaaarible side without flinching. Respect.
I got jacked by anxiety. Pure and simple panic.
You don't often see HRH Her Immaculate Scrumptiousness Princess Diazepam sideswiped by the vapours and howling into her hanky. Believe me, it isn't a pretty sight.
You are right. I am imperious and I yell and stamp and slam doors way too often. *Sigh* a typical, opinionated queen wasp.
Anxiety-attacks and panic attacks and then tears. Ah, the gay life.....omg, I bet my hair looks a total, scarecrow mess now and my mascara is puddled on my cheeks.

Does anyone else think Thom's new short haircut is awful? He used to be the hottest one. I liked the curly, flippy hair he used to have. He's started to dress goofy too.
I'm not too crazy about the spikey thing he has going right now either. He's so much cuter with the waves and the curly flips. Don't get me wrong...he's still *HOT*, but he looks him and Jai are getting their hair spiked at the same place.

I just have to sayhow happy I am that Kylie Minogue was not apart of the episode. I mean yes she was in the Hip Tips but atleast she didnt help with the makeover in the episode. I did think it was korny with her there but then again it was a little more entertaining. I think she enjoyed rubbing Carsons ass with the sandpaper and putting her leg around kyan. Did anyone else notice that when she did Kyan growled at her? Anyways I have to say to Maria thank you so much sweetie you are so kind.
Love you all
Love Always

Cheers Queers!

Yes I agree the more QE the better! Hey y'all I found some articles about carson:
here is one: There is heavy breathing about the possibility of Carson Kressley being at DIFFA's February gala. "We're hoping. We don't have it confirmed, yet," said Pam Diamond, event coordinator for Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS. "He has been invited. I would hope that wouldn't be printed until there's a confirmation." Dreamer. I'm tired of holding my tongue while others wag about why one of TV's most charismatic stars may be hanging around the Twin Cities. "I don't know that he's dating anyone," said Diamond. The world is Carson's oyster, and it's hard to believe he's found a mollusk of the moment, in our metro. "Dating is a strong word. I don't know. Friends, good friends would be a better choice of words. Minnesota men are out and about in the world doing interesting things, and they love Minnesota boys." I was prepared to reveal the name, but I'm not sure how out Kressley's local buddy is. It's hard to see Carson with this fellow, who's not exactly a fashion plate. "Carson might look at that as a great opportunity," laughed Diamond.

here is another: Carson Kressley will be at the DIFFA event in video only because he has got a hot date with Oscar. The "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" fashion savant is making a videotape, hyping the "Carson Package" that will be auctioned off at the Feb. 28 event. "It breaks my heart, but I have to do this OSCAR thing," the star of QE told me during our Valentine's Day interview. "I'm going to do some interviews after the show and get the behind-the-scenes skinny, not just fashion but what's on people's minds." It's sure to be funny and entertaining, as was our interview except when he was explaining his support for DIFFA, a foundation that raises money for AIDS. "Since I'm in the design business myself and it benefits HIV and AIDS, this is one that is near and dear to me." When I told him he's my favorite of the Fab 5, he kindly said, "Thank you, my little lamb chop. I'm my favorite, too." When you are as suddenly well-known as Kressley, it's got to be hard to hide. "Sometimes I hide at TJ Maxx because they don't expect to find me there," he said. "We have a farm in Pennsylvania. [My family] is kind of in the horse business. I like to just go and ride and kind of chill. . . . I go to Miami with friends. But usually to and from I do get recognized. I had some lady in the airport pushing her husband in front of me and saying, Would you do him? and I said, 'Careful what you ask for, lady.' " Carson wasn't much help when asked to dispel the rumor that he has a Valentine in Minnesota. "I have a Valentine in Minnesota? No, it's Kenosha, Wisconsin. Get your facts straight," he said. "No. Everybody I sit with at a fashion show -- they rumor. Now I think I'm dating Nikki Hilton and I'm denying it." Carson, darling, you should save those denials for when people say you're dating Paris Hilton.
