When I heard that Queer Eye was being rebooted on Netflix, I won't lie, it elicited a massive eyeroll. The idea that gay men are fashionable and straight men are aesthetically clueless is annoying at best, and I had no plans whatsoever to engage with it. But Shila kept hearing really positive things and convinced… Continue reading Queer Eye for the… Lazier Queer Not-Guy

Why yes, I do cut my own hair!
If you look at me and wonder, "Good lord, does this girl cut her own hair, or does she just have reeeeeally bad bedhead?" The answer is usually both.
