Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

The Fab 5's Guide to Looking Better, Cooking Better, Dressing Better, Behaving Better, and Living Better

De: Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez

Narrado por: Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez

Imagine this: Five eminently stylish and hilariously witty gay men (authoritative experts in food and wine, grooming, decorating, fashion, and culture) invade your life, assess your strengths and weaknesses, and make you better dressed, better groomed, better mannered, and a better cook, living in a better home.

This is what Queer Eye for the Straight Guy does each week on one of the hottest TV shows in memory, as the Fab 5, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez, turn an everyman frog into an every-girl's-dream prince.

But Queer Eye doesn't try to make you dress like Carson or dance like Jai; it's about teaching you how to refine your own personal style. It's about helping you realize the best expression of yourself: the real you.

Packed with bonus materials, this audiobook brings the Fab 5 up close and personal, with quotes from the show, hip tips, and candid interviews with the guys.

Excellent Listien

I'm quite a fan of 'Queer Eye' and I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

All five of the guys get anything between half an hour to an hour to talk about their particular area. They also answer some interesting questions about their background.

Anyway, I loved it and would thoroughly recommend it to any man who'd like to make themselves better.

The most entertaining selections I've made

My wife and I listened to it on a road trip and were howling with laughter. We didn't want to arrive at our destination as the book wasn't finished.

Most the tips were on things you wouldn't think of asking about - such as the best way to shave, how to buy a suit and how a waiter is actually your friend. Some I really didn't need to know - my man bush can do without a trim. I can trim my unibrow, but my wife says its not that big a deal to her. Other things make you thinK - maybe I should exfoliate - never considered it before.

This would be a great CD couples to listen to and talk about before getting married. You'd find out things about each other, you wouldn't otherwise know for 20 years, if ever.

The only complaint about the book is it is a bit condescending towards men, but not enough that it should stop anyone from buying it. My wife just proof read this and says that that is what makes it so funny for women to listen to.
