I have to admit I’ve had a really great time experiencing Vancouver’s Next Gay Top Model.
What started as an experiment and a learning experience about the going-ons in the gay community, has translated itself into a genuinely-healthy writing exercise.
And more than that, I’m actually a complete daze to the outcome. I genuinely have no idea how the whole evening will pan out on Thursday, and I’m really excited to experience what chalked up to be an apparent circus of chaotic fun last year.
Will it be Stephen? Who at 6’6″ actually towers above me, something at 6’4″ I don’t often experience,
The witty Adam, that seems to have a whole “load” of stories left to tell us.
Or, Micheil, whose unique look, and experience in the industry could set him apart from the others when it finally gets down to it?
What about Morgan, the techie whose undergone the most drastic transformation of the bunch (thank god!)?? Could Morgan, who’s gone from question marks to exclamation points take the prize?
Will it be Reese, the merchandiser whose merchandised his way into the audience’s hearts more than once?
Or perhaps the only ginger of the bunch, Calan? I must say those gingers intrigue me and make me feel a little funny. I’ve convinced myself that gingers are the key to some unknown eventuality of planet earth. More than once I’ve found myself daydreaming about leagues of gingers marching through the streets. Beware, the allusive ginger! Especially the ones that are good in front of the camera.
And let’s not forget Ryan, the industrialist. This race car driver and construction-savvy fella is taking the gay stereotype under the welder and completely transforming it.
Let’s flip-flop to Joel, the resident gymnast, whose more than once grabbed the attention of the audience with his broad shoulders. Will those muscles of his be enough to grab the attention of the audience on Thursday night?
And last, but very not least, there’s Billy. He’s been the brunt of most of the criticism and jests that I’ve thrown at the competitors, and I must admit that this hairy-legged Carmen Miranda has taken everyone of them with a smile and a laugh. Joking aside, Billy has taken a firm grip of his place in the competition, and will be holding on to his chili peppers till the very end of the competition if he has anything to say about it.
So for now we’ll have to continue the drudgery for another day, and await the camp, chaos, and cacaphony of tomoorow evening.
Be there!
