Meet the gay guys of "Glam God with Vivica A. Fox"

 

Team Gay: Glam God edition

Another day, another reality competition, right? Well, this one at least is stocked with gay contestants for us to scrutinize. This Thursday VH1 premieres Glam God with Vivica A. Fox, in which 12 aspiring stylists compete for $100,000, a celebrity spread gig in US Weekly, and representation with a major stlyist agency. I would also say that it earns them the title of "Glam God", but I have a feeling that most of the people competing probably call themselves that already.

Being that styling is a gay-friendly field, it's no surprise that there are three gay men in the group. We don't know too much about the fellas yet, but here are Handry, Bo, and Joachim. Have at 'em.

Stylist Phillip Bloch

The show also features noted out stylist/favorite talking-head Phillip Bloch as one of the judges. As much as he kind of drives me nuts, he can be incredibly funny, so it should make for some fun eliminations.

Side note: Between this (a reality show clearly in the Bravo mold) and The Cho Show (aka Kathy Griffin 2.0), is VH1 finally moving toward more legitimate reality programming and away from Has-beens, Drunks and Pay-Per-View Porn Actors Eating Pig Vaginas in a Rented Mansion? Let's hope so.

Bigger pics of the guys are after the break. Get out your fine-toothed combs and click on through!

Anyone else disturbed by Bloch's uncanny resemblence to Adolf Hitler in the above picture?

My mother always told me, "Never trust a man in a leisure suit".

BTW, has anyone ever told you that you look like Charles Nelson Reilly???   :)

Errol Flynn

I thought he looked more like Errol Flynn or any number of other swashbucklers from the 30's.  At any rate, he looks far better than when he was going for an "urban" look.

Vivica A. Fox scares me....

I loved her in Kill Bill 1 and found her amusing in Curb Your Enthusiasm, although I stopped watching the latter as it just stopped working for me.

The "non-actress" Vivica A. Fox does nada for this boy as she's silicone gone wrong and seems to lack that twisted/self-deprecating wit that I love in my hostesses with the mostest. Cat Deeley I miss you!!!!! Also, I still can't bear to watch any VH1 offerings, so I'll rely on you folks to let me know if Margaret Cho's show is worth risking the inclusion of another channel into my life.

Based on how they've styled themselves...

...the only one I'd let try to style me is Joachim. But I like a classic look. The other two need to go on Shear Genius to have something done with those horrible 'dos!
