Has anyone watched the A-List? I can barely stand it, but I like watching snippets and giving it a "staging factor" - like the scenes of Rodiney and Reichen in bed equal 97.9% staged. You let the cameras in while you are laying bed while your hair (even the stuff not on your head) is perfectly quaffed? Yah right.

I enjoy this from the article: "In ways similarly pernicious to the Indian caste system, urban American gay men have long sorted themselves into an unofficially acknowledged A-list (or "A-gays"). The telltale A-gay signs are body worship (chiseled abs), real-estate and modern-decor fetishes, and frequent travel to seasonal getaways such as Miami and Palm Springs. Narcissism is a given."

DC is FILLED with those believing they are A-List, but it so sad b/c they really aren't adding up to much except for in the gay world. I don't trend with these fellas, but go on with it if it makes you happy.

I do watch the Housewives shows, although I am getting a little tired of their drama. I used to tune in to watch and see how miserable their lives were even with all the money, glitz, and glam. Now they are just sad (most of them anyway).

I enjoy how Andy Cohen gets dragged into it:"Even as an exploitation device, "The A-List" is woefully late. Logo bills the show as the gay version of Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise, which is an obvious redundancy. Besides "Project Runway" and "Glee," the "Real Housewives" shows already are the gayest shows on television, dramas which are engineered and then leered over by that Cheshire A-gay himself, Andy Cohen, Bravo's vice president and talk-show host."

Cheshire A-gay himself, Andy Cohen - THAT IS AWESOME!!! (Andy Cohen fascinates and creeps me out at exactly the same time)
