“The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?
Alice: I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers, but I’ll tell you a secret: all the best people are.”
There’s a guy that goes to my gym. He wears old school Raybans the entire time he’s working out. The glasses are the Risky Business Tom Cruise kind that are a tough look to pull off even now. Tom Cruise couldn’t pull off that look now. My gym guy wears a button-down shirt tucked into shorts pulled up really high over a tremendous belly. He wears black socks and a sort-of loafer/slipper hybrid which can’t be good for his joints and he sports a fairly radical comb-over which isn’t at all improved by sweat. He’s at the gym a lot, which is strange because he doesn’t actually look like a guy that works out, like--ever. He gets on his treadmill or elliptical or bike and I don’t know what is...

Everyone loves a good make-over. Cinderella was always my favorite—literally rising out of the ashes of the fireplace to trounce over her bitchy stepsisters with her fab glass slippers. My mom tells me I would “play” Cinderella as a child, but ALWAYS started out with my nightie and some old apron and a broom at least for a few minutes because the KEY to the game was the transformation. I always played this game alone by the way, even though I had 3 sisters who could have played the other parts VERY well, but weren’t always willing to play the gross, ugly and mean parts—shocker.
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was one of the early makeover shows—they make over the guy and his apartment—they “juge” his hair with lots of product, show him how to shave “with the grain.” Whiten his teeth with the Crest strips. Carson made fun of...
