United-Kingdom Channel 4's "Fairy Godfathers" in MINI's.

Just noticed a new show on Channel 4 next Thursday (29th) at 8PM called "Fairy Godfathers".

quote:

"From the makers of Wife Swap comes this brand new makeover series. Fashion designer Colin Woolfendon and professional stylist Nick Bagrie (in their matching red/white MINI's !! ) are two gay men who are never more than a phone call away from distressed women wishing to convert their useless men into stylish, domestic gods and, in essence, make them just that little bit more gay."

So the MINI is perceived as a gay icon then!!!

(well the red and white ones are anyway!)

Gay guys have good fashion sense. Nothing wrong w/ that! That btw sounds too much like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" an American show which is basically what you described.

Car is only good as the driver.

Except the "Fab 5" in Queer Eye drive around in a massive SUV.
Does that make SUV's gay?

It's a total rip off of Queer Eye.... and mini's are not Gay, they are just ultra trendy and gay men tend to like being ultra trendy.

You ever seen a gay guy drive a lada or a daewoo??

I know a gay guy that drives a Daewoo! But yes he is the exception to the rule he has no interest in cars or fashion.

Certain MINIS are gay, others aren't. A CR/W Cooper is a bit gay. A solid black/White Cooper with white rear lights and darkened glass (like mine!) is a dead butch, like me (honest!)

Now if I see a MINI from a distance I guess what the driver is going to be like - I usually assume:

Base One - older lady
One with Viper stripes - 19 year old straight bloke
Gold Cooper - older lady
Chilli Red/Silver Cooper - professional girl/gay man
Indi Blue Cooper - 30s bloke in suit
BRG Cooper with 'Foxtons' decal - spotty estate agent!
Any Cooper S - young city bloke or middleaged guy (midlife crisis present to self)
Black/White Cooper - stylish, intelligent, witty, handsome bloke (like me! )

More often than not I am proved totally wrong!

Talking Butch?

Just realised that I chose solid black because it would look nice with the red interior, I carefully considered the options before choosing the Alloy Patina dash, and I have a number of modifications planned for the interior (chrome bits) - Home Front style! So I took a keen interest in my MINIs interior design!

Guess my MINI isn't so butch after all
