Flutterby™! : Queer Eye

I drove into work yesterday to carry in some sheets of plywood for our rig (the logistics of that convinced me that $75 for a delivery is a bargain), and ended up driving Phil home just a little late. On the way we got to talking about Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, he asked if I'd ever seen it, so we ended up over at his house watching the "check back in with a few of the makeovers several months later" episode.

Two things:

1. About what they did to the the poor blond guy whose ponytail they lopped off: 1994 called, they want that hairstyle back.
2. Zippered shirts? It was kinda like seeing Burt Reynolds jumpsuits, only without the body hair.

Relatedly, over at 8 Bit Joystick while reading the entry about the capture of Saddam Hussein I realized something very sobering: I'm only a shave, haircut and grooming session away from looking like a genocidal dictator.
