You're alright in my book, Andy Cohen
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 
Andy Cohen hosts all of the Bravo reunions as of late. I've never been terribly impressed with him; he's not quick on his feet, he's too ingratiating and just kind of . . . meh. Of course, my feelings could be influenced by the fact that I want his job. My reunion shows would be bloodbaths! I'd be all "sit your ass DOWN, Ramoner" and "Jeff, chill the fuck out, brother!" Well, maybe not. They both scare the bejeezus out of me. I'd probably run off the set crying before they even had a chance to speak.
Anyway, I recently ran across Andy Cohen's coming out story, and it was so endearing that I've changed my mind about him. It's in two parts, but you only really need to watch the first one.* Then comment about your favorite part, would you? I need to talk about this with someone!
Ryan Brown also has a coming out video (a good one, but we already know that Ryan's emotionally healthy and naturally, his parents are too) and there's one from Tim Gunn (holla at your boy) that's worth watching.
Don't you DARE forget that the Flipping Out reunion is tonight, as well as the Zoila portrait auction. See you tomorrow, when we will pick it all apart together!
*Warning--I couldn't watch this in Firefox, so you might need to open Explorer for this (which is a HUGE pain in the ass, I know, but just do it). Reader-users, click on through!

His parents: "they'd never gone to their room and closed the door".
although "I was a hippie in those days" runs a close second
"I"m your dad and I'll always love you".
moderne, YES! Can you imagine him as a hippie? So funny. The mom with the tumbler of Scotch was my utmost fave, also the dad leaving to play tennis.
Anon, aw! Sweet.
Yes...I am right there with you sister! Would...not....miss...it! I will have to watch these at home...no speakers at work.
I LOVED the reunion! It gave me 101 more reasons to love Jeff Lewis. Wouldn't he and Andy make an adorable couple? How funny was Zoila? I guess Ryan must have heard your pleas and finally cut his hair.
I found Tim Gunn's especially touching. Imagine him as a total social recluse back in college!
