The Fab Five from Queer Eye (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy) have just shown up at your front door? Do you let them in and get the big makeover? What will they change about you?

Sure I'd let them in.

They would probably get me some better clothes (I dress as the typical suburban/urban professional - but a tad conservative).

Haircut probably wouldn't change.

Glasses probably wouldn't change (unless high end designer glasses are out).

Furniture and decorations would change, but that's my wife's department - they would have to take it up with her.

I already know how to cook as well or better than most people who do cooking shows, so I'm not sure if there's room for improvement there.

Naaaa I just wouldn't let them in. Cheers and all but I'm happy the way I am.

I'd let them in only to realize the show has been canceled and I'm being beaten repeatedly with cricket bats

when I finally regain consciousness in a ice tub in Lithuania missing several kidneys, I'll be sure to check out my new look:)

I'd let them decorate my house. One of the few stereotypes I subscribe to is the idea that gay male interior decorators have a knack for very tasteful results.

But as for my personal look/wardrobe, I take input from my own mind and opinions from my wife. After that, I really don't give a damn what others think so submitting to a personal makeover would be a waste of my time at best.

According to most other people - my wife included (actually, especially her) - my dress sense is appalling but I honestly, truly, really don't care. It's my dress sense and, outside the occasional social occasion that mandates a dress code, I'll wear whatever I feel comfortable in, thank you.

So no, they wouldn't get in.

That's because they are interior decorators, not because they're gay.

My taste in fashion is pretty much ok and even good in some cases so i'll stick to having them re-decorate and help out with a haircut. Hopefully they'll take me somewhere that doesn't employ seemingly drunk hairdressers. Damn that place

I suck at interior decorating, so I'd most definitely let Tom in (IKEA would of course be banned), and I love Carson - we'd bitch around about fashion and I'd see if he could adapt to Swedish standards, which are of course a couple of notches above what passes as dazzling in the USA. The hispanic guy is boring, so he could piss off, and the cooking guy had better learn how to make killer veggie dishes, or he'd be out the door...

... which leaves Kyan, who'd whip out the lotions and stay the night. That bitch is hot (http://www.tszuj-it.com/qekyan.jpg).

as long as they'll fix my room fine, i can't be arsed unpacking, it's such an awkward shaped room. i can't imagine i'd keep any of their personal styling ideas though, i've seen that programme enough to know that i don't like their taste in clothes. interiors fine, clothes no.

If they need to call a towtruck or a locksmith or something, maybe. They touch my stuff or comment on my looks, they go out.

Actually, if they wanted to buy me new furniture and stuff, sure maybe. But I will not change how I dress.

Sure, I'd let them in. I could use some new free furniture.
Clothes? I'd take their clothes, but probably wouldn't wear them.
Grooming? Nah. Anything that takes longer than 30 minutes, including showering, is unacceptable.
Cooking? I don't cook, but I might like to learn how to.
Culture? I think I'm cultured enough, but if it gets me free tickets to the museum, then sure.

Assuming you're allowing Queer Eye for the Straight Girl, I'd let them. They'd probably fix my hair, but the important part would be my personality. I am so fucked up right now, it's not even funny. I did something even dumber than usual last night (or, should I say, this morning at 3), and I'm probably going to pay for it. Fuck.

HAHAH...Not quite. I got really upset when I found out the guy I like, who I was getting pretty close to until he randomly stopped talking to me a week or so ago was hooking up with and possibly romantically interested in a friend of mine, so I sent this anonymous angry confessional thing to him via Honesty Box on Facebook, and he wrote back saying, "WTF! I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm sorry??" I shouldn't have done that.

Nah. But I WOULD dress THEM all up in biker leathers and then take them to the nearest biker bar so that they can use the pay phone to call for a cab home.

God, I do so hate that show.

Being already gay, it's not like they could make me any more fabulous than I already am.

But I could probably use the cooking advice. I hear the best way to reach a man's heart is through his stomach, and if I'm any indication, it's as true as anything can be. I couldn't cook if my life depended on it, and that probably explains why I can't find Mr. Right.

Clothes; Nope, I'm better dressed than them. I spend about £50 a month on clothes, I'd say I'm as well dressed as possible, in a sort of tight jeans sort of way.

Hair; I'm officially "growing it" right now. No doubt it would look better with a blonde highlight in the back, but I don't have the money; they might.

I'd probably welcome them in anyway, if only because it would be rude not to.
