Can they do one on that Lisa chick? I've never seen a skirt that short paired with hooker boots.

I like the post above that describes the friend who was proposed to during the "curtain call for Sugar Babies." Sounds like a role for Toni Colette.

definitely not! some straight guys are just totally lost and recognize that they could use a makeover done by the fab five. these guys are good! also, a true metrosexual doesn't need a makeover. he would just peruse queer eye tips for ideas if he felt he was lacking in some areas. re John B - he definitely looked like a model when he was in the polo store trying on clothes. wow. i wouldn't mind a follow-up because i didn't appreciate the armenian girlfriend so much.

I just found out that John B. is the cousin (once removed) of a friend of a friend of mine. A brush with fame. On the casting call, don't you think that any guy who shows up to request a makeover automatically puts himself in the metrosexual camp?

i think the jay leno thing can be explained by the fact that NBC owns Bravo.

I'm amazed that NBC is allowing a Jay Leno makeover. Are they showing gay-friendliness, or are they jumping on the high ratings bandwagon? I'll watch, just to see if they keep that grey patch in his dark hair (or is it dark patch in his grey hair?)

Ooh, we need a John B. followup. The romantic in me feels that the girlfriend did love him, spending two years in that crazy apartment with him. I loved Thom very much in that episode, also. "This is not minimalism. This is bleak. There's a big difference."

That John guy was really cute, but I just don't trust a guy that proposes in front of an audience. I think it shows a lack of confidence, putting the woman on the spot like that. I've known two girls that were proposed to that way, one in front of an audience at the curtain call for Sugar Babies and one at a minor league sporting event. Both felt pressured to say yes, but later had to back out of the engagement.

i think they need to take the show on the road, as i would love to see them re-do a dude and his trailer.
