A Day in the Life
August 16th, 2007That’s a possible name for the Enrique Cruz reality show I envision, EC’s vehement objections to joining that media circus notwithstanding.
See, for reasons best left unsaid, I’ve been in front of the TV a lot lately, and a lot of it in front of Bravo. Have you been there lately? Have you seen what I’ve seen? Gayness is growing within these shows like vines on a cottage. It isn’t made a big deal of. It’s just there, as in the strangely cute contestant on Top Chef, Dale. Or in the incompetent and archtypal queen on Welcome to the Parker. Their gayness is directly referred to and whether this is in itself a Bravo strategy doesn’t really matter. I find it fucking amazing that what so recently would’ve had big red arrows pointing to it is now increasingly merely a mentioned fact.
So. How many years will it be, do you think, before the Big B launches the next phase, a series of episodes from the life of a real porn entrepreneur? They can blur out the dicks and asses. Hell, they do that now already. Graphic language would be cool; the “fucks” fly on Top Chef and are bleeped out in a very, very negligible way. And, let me tell you - the public, straight and gay, will eat this up.
Think on it, EC. As long as it’s done with humor, you’d never be guilty of taking it or yourself too seriously. Like that bitch hostess of Top Chef who, I swear, was once a man.
