Best Series Winner

"Ask A Gay Man" Series is YouTube Award Winner

After a week of voting, the YouTube 2006 Video Awards have been announced and coming in second place for "best series" is a young guy from Kentucky named William Sledd for his "Ask a Gay Man" series.

Sledd, 23, doles out helpful fashion tips in short videos filmed in his bedroom. The series is very funny. So funny that a lot of people assumed the kid was an actor playing a character. (Remember LonelyGirl15?) But no, apparently William Sledd is an actual Gap employee in a Paducah, Kentucky mall.

He seems like a sweet kid, and there is something very endearing about his complete guilessness. Only don't get him started on peg leg jeans or carpenter pants-- they seem to be particular sore spots with him.

According to his website, William's life ambition is to guest co-host The View. Something tells me Rosie O'Donnell will get wind of him and make it happen.

Actually, I hope the kid is able to parlay his YouTube fame into success in the mainstream media. Who knows, maybe one day he can supplant Steven Cojocaru as television's go to guy for fashion tips. Please, God, somebody supplant Cojo.

Anyway, you can get a taste of William Sledd and his "Ask A Gay Man" series in the clip below.
