“Gay Men Don’t Get Fat”

Our fashion obsessed friend turned writer, Simon Doonan (Barneys) has done it again. Another book, that is, and it’s loaded with our favorite thing: sweeping generalizations. (We were lucky to be included in Simon’s first book “Wacky Chicks.”) His latest, “Gay Men Don’t Get Fat” is a whole new take on diets. He says gay men don’t get fat because they eat gay food. Simon declares there are two food groups: gay and straight. A typical gay food is sushi, and a typical straight food is a burrito. Simon advises everyone to “eat like a gay man and you will never get fat.” Eating like a gay man means enjoying leafy salads w/dressing on the side, or macaroons, all with an attractive presentation. One pertinent tip from the book: Simon advises readers to “watch “Hoarders” because it’s so disgusting it will ruin the appetite.” We’re hoping a “gay restaurant “ will open soon in our neighborhood.
