The wait is officially over. The Fab Five will be back on Netflix as season 7 of Queer Eye premieres May 12. This time they are heading to the Big Easy, the Crescent City, the fleur de lis, that beautiful city of New Orleans. The promo for their upcoming season reads, “From Beignets to Ben-yays”.
No, they’re not making over doughnuts (mmm doughnuts). However, they will continue to do what they’ve always done since the series rebooted on Netflix in February of 2018. That’s helping to make over their “heroes” and help them feel more confident about themselves. Mama Tammye is still the queen of Queer Eye heroes and I think that more people need to follow her lead. If you want to know more about her, check out season two of Queer Eye on Netflix and, “God Bless Gay”.
I finished up the Queer Eye series up to season 6, where the Fab Five spent time next door in Texas. One of the more memorable moments came when the boys helped make over a transgender woman who spent more time in the gym than anywhere else. Angel was an amazing power-lifter who had some self-confidence issues and wanted her father to see how beautiful she really was. This one, like many others, didn’t come without needing tissues.
That season took place during that horrible year known as 2020; therefore, the Fab Five also went to school to organize a prom for graduating seniors who couldn’t have one due to the lockdowns and the social distancing protocols put in place.’That season took place during that horrible year known as 2020; therefore, the Fab Five also went to school to organize a prom for graduating seniors who couldn’t have one due to the lockdowns and the social distancing protocols put in place.
In the promo, the boys continue to show off their style and don’t shy away from being colorful. Karamo’s matching pants and blazer is something I’d like to wear when I run a Greensburg Toastmasters meeting as incoming President. Tan’s khakis and blue shirt would also look good on me. Of course, everyone looks good, including my boy Jonathan Van Ness (aka JVN), and Antoni and Bobby. I just hope this new season is just as awesome as the last six, which I’m sure it will be.
Design expert Bobby Berk’s first book, “Right at Home” will be released on Sept. 12.
New Orleans is a city with a lot of French heritage and an amazing jazz scene. Recently, I reached the one year milestone on Duolingo. While I’ve been learning Spanish, German, and Italian, I’ve also picked up French as well. I’m not fluent though I should be after doing it for a year. I haven’t been able to use it in a situation that requires it, but I’m still going to practice regardless.
With the new season of Queer Eye starting soon, I’m inspired to play some jazz music and learn more about the New Orleans culture. Definitely one of my favorite cities and, home to some legendary jazz musicians. I wouldn’t mind having some beignets, either.
