So I don’t have to hang out at gay bars…

tena2There’s a euphoric place I go to escape my boring hetero reality of football on the television and men’s dirty socks lying on the floor.  A place where men can get away with skinny jeans, have a fabulous fashion sense and rainbow flags proudly wave.

Bravo TV.

Bravo is God’s gift to straight women that can’t find a gay husband.

They talk in cliche, gossip, and make fun of  people behind their back.

They are my people. 

My husband worried that I would turn into a lesbian when I watched The L Word.  If I could become a gay man, he’d have something to worry about.  I am a gay man stuck in a woman’s body.  Bravo is my reprieve. Then I go to bed with a man, snoring like a bear, that wears acid wash jeans still with matching jean jackets and insists that the U-Men craze was a good look for him and still mourns the closing of The Chess King.  My husband thinks Ashton Kutcher’s name is Justin Pinchow and that “he’s on some show about the 80′s.”

I need Bravo TV.  I need the culture.  I need the sharp wit.  I need to have lunch with them once in a while, but since I guess that’s not happening, I need Andy Cohen to keep creating deliciously sensational shows for other women that are married to the equivalent of Homer Simpson.

(I bet all the KY jelly in the world that HE knows who Ashton Kutcher is!)

They love show tunes.

They have OCD and love things being clean!

I’m not gonna lie, I still feel like a woman scorned over Project Runway going to its lesbian lover, Lifetime.  Who knew they were bi-curious?  Each to their own.

What’s wrong with Homer Simpson? I find him charmingly adorable, in a Neanderthal kind of way.

Also, I would *so* be your lesbian lover. Just sayin.

I thought we already were lesbian lovers! I need to brush up on my woman on woman skills.

PLEASE tell me that your husband does not actually wear acid wash jeans. because I might have to stage an intervention. ;)

@ali, I think if you saw his closet you would drink so much, we’d have to do an intervention on you! It’s bad! I’m serious about The Chess King!

you know, you could quit pussy-footing around and go straight to LOGO.

seriously, i am with you on the whole bravo thing. and even though PR broke up with them, they rebounded rather quickly with the Fashion Show with isaac mizrahi and kelly rowland. now, they’re no tim gunn and heidi, but they filled the need without having to track down whatever the hell channel lifetime is on.

@deb, Don’t think I don’t LOGO! It’s one of my favs! Sometimes when my kids are home though, I can’t have the TV on a hot man on man gay sex scene, ya know, cuz I’m a responsible mom, so I turn on Bravo.

Bravo is da shit. And my husband was worried about The L-Word too – in a “if you turn gay can I watch” kind of way…

@Grumble Girl, seriously- I think I’m the ONLY woman in the world whose husband does not fantasize about me and other women… I think that I am complaining about that- make your own assumptions.

Bravo is really a beautiful thing. And I like to think that Jeff Lewis is a personal friend. And that I could work for him. And he would embrace my perfectionist witty ways.

Every girl deserves a bright coloured, flamboyantly dressed, over the top, “talk to me girl” gay friend.

OMG! I totally dream about Jeff Lewis ALL the time. If he could be my gay husband my life would be complete. But anytime I say something to my for real gay husband about Jeff he always gives me the face. So I am not certain The Real Gays love Jeff like we do.
