The Sheila Variations

OhmaGod Sheila!!!!

I'm sooooo NOT laughing at this, I'm really not, but what's so funny is the THOUGHT of these Fab Flamers getting their hands on these scruffy, groovy, Champions, and attempting to slide their cute little tushies into Gucci.

I'm sorry, but it makes me giggle a bit.

I know!! It's horrifying. At least they can't cut Johnny's hair.... But still - WHY do they have to go in and mess with them?

Alex - haha. I know. I am so paranoid - the Fab 5 are gonna jinx my boys!!

I love "scruffy groovy boys" anyway.

DON'T TOUCH THEM. Fine, buy them new dress shoes, maybe - show them how to make a nice appetizer (although David Ortiz is already a great cook) - BUT DON'T NEATEN THEM UP.

PLEASE.

Jayne picked this point out as well.. but, while I agree the idea of a make-over for the 'idiots' is a BAD idea, I'm really not sure whether the book contract clause being given as a reason why Damon can't cut his hair is a good or bad thing..

But I did laugh at this quote from Kressley(?) - "They're teaching us how to spit"

And Jai Rodriguez (who is, admittedly adorable) said that they were better looking than he thought after first viewing digital photography.

What the hell is he talking about?? These guys are BABES. Already.

Ewww. I'm sorry, sports is supposed to be about scruffy, sweaty, manly men getting dirty. It is most definitely NOT about manicures and (oy) "Food and wine specialists." I'd scream bloody murder if anybody ever attempted that on my beloved NY Rangers.

Assuming I could identify any of the players, of course.

Its too late. The mojo is gone, shaved and trimmed away.

"shaved and trimmed"... and waxed, Bill.

I don't know, I find this pretty amusing. I like the fact that the Sox are getting this kind of national attention even if it is ridiculous. Maybe they can at least teach Damon to quit that toenail-clipping-on-camera thing. Let's face it, even among baseball players, that is pretty freakin' nasty.

Maybe I'm not too broken up about this because I don't have any perverse and cherished Red Sox fantasies to spoil.

I'm kinda wondering about what my mom thinks about this. She's got a big time crush on Johnny Damon!

Okay. The Fab Five is definitely attempting to do their duty, and I'm all for getting men (ALL men) to give a hoot about the way they look and how they act. But I have to say, I completely agree in this case. I don't want to see baseball guys on the field worrying about Mousse when they should be pitching.

There's times when you have to let guys be guys.

Also:

THEY BECAME WORLD CHAMPIONS WITH THOSE SCRUFFY LOOKS. AFTER 86 FECKIN' YEARS.

Don't fix what ain't broke.

Clip your toenails right on camera, man. I could not care less!!

And for the record: I absolutely love that show.

Just keep your hands off MY team!

I'm pretty sure this is how it happened in the Dammon household

Johnny: "Can you believe Wakefield and Veritek are going on "Queer Eye"?"

Wife(wait, let me look up her name... okay got it)

Michelle:

Johnny: "What?"

Michelle:

Johnny: "Come on, tell me what you're thinking."

Michelle: "Uh, you WERE going to lose the "Captain Caveman" look one of these days, right?!"

More from the Damon household:

Michele: "Might as well cut the hair and shave your beard now, 'Samson'; you're going to have to do it before next season when you sign up with the Yankees as a free agent."

Johnny: "Yeah, I guess you're righ.... Hey, wait a sec! You spell your name with only one 'L'! You're that Catalano chick from LI that's just trying to mess with my mind!"

Michele: "Shoot, you got me; I AM trying to mess with your head. But what a strange shaped, Cro-Magnon head you have there."

i saw carson today in pics with the sox wearing pink loafers.

pink. loafers.

trust me, i don't think they're going to lose any of that off-kilter spirit at all. but it would be nice to have kevin millar not looking like a homeless person.

and really, they're not going to become the yankees with a haircut and a new suit. the yankees take it WAYYYY further than that.

my take is, it's in keeping with the sox' rebel spirit to appear on a highly homosexual show in an age when homophobia is the rule in major league sports. the best line i've heard about this so far is, "not only would the yankees not do this...alex rodriguez would call a press conference to talk about how he's not doing this."

hahahahaha Good point. :)

He who doth protesteth too much ... or whatever.

and really, i don't care how many gay guys make them over, none of the sox will ever appear looking like this:

I find Kevin Millar's homeless-man look strangely appealing. I do. He's a goofball.

Beth, that link ... ewwwwww

or this:

Beth - WTF with that second link?? What is that? A charity event? WTF??

hey, hair grows back. i still think they'll be funky again by may, and i still think it's a cool thing they're doing.

no idea, sheila. it was a google image search, tell you the truth. all i know is it's Slappy McBlueLips in fine form.

I'd just like to say... Baaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!@#

Ahem.

My thoughts are here. If you thought the other Slappy pics were bad, you should probably avert your eyes.
