The Fab Five Sets People Up For Success, No Matter What HuffPost Says

In This Article:

As you all know (or should) season 3 of Queer Eye is now on Netflix and most of us couldn't be happier. Like most things though there is always someone who wants to ruin the fun. HuffPost writer, Todd Van Luling, wrote an article about how the makeovers set people up for lives they cannot afford. If you want to, you can read it here- but I'm here to prove him wrong.

Karamo Brown- Culture

Giphy

Karamo's is the Culture expert of the Fab Five, therefore what he does for the heroes on the show costs absolutely nothing once they leave. Karamo teaches the heroes to be brave, strong, bold, courageous, confident, beautiful, etc (I really could keep going). When the Fab Five is in town Karamo usually does something with the hero to try and prove to them that they can overcome whatever it is that is holding them back and yes that usually does cost money but it is paid for by the show and it is a life lesson that has a much deeper value. Karamo's knowledge, advice, and wisdom is something that everyone needs and it is definitely not setting anyone up for failure or a life they cannot afford- everyone deserves to take time for themselves and Karamo teaches each person that.

Bobby Berk- Home Design

Giphy

Bobby Berk is the Interior Designer of the Fab Five, he has a week to flip a hero's home into something they'll love and find peace and comfort in. Yes, a home is a lot of upkeep and redoing a home is expensive but again this is paid for by the show and most of the time Bobby and his team do all of the work to flip a house. When Bobby goes into a hero's home he does not try to get rid of everything they have accomplished and make something he wants, he tries to give them a sanctuary they can fall in love with and relax in. After the Fab Five has left all a hero has to do is maintain the home by keeping it clean and add any final touches that they want to add if they even want to add anything! Bobby Berk teaches the heroes how to take a space and make it their own fun, loving, creative environment.

Antoni Porowski- Food & Wine

Giphy

Antoni is the food and wine expert of the Fab Five, he teaches the hero's how to prepare meals for themselves and their families. Most of the time Antoni takes a hero to a local grocery store/market or a restaurant so they can experience local food and something similar to what they are going to make at the end of the week. One of Antoni's biggest beliefs is that food brings people together- because it does! We all know that shopping fresh and organic is more expensive than just going to a regular grocery store to get food, but when the Fab Five is in town it is a special week and things are taken seriously; that is why Antoni makes sure to pamper the hero's with good food. Not only does Antoni teach them how to prepare meals, he helps them fall in love with cooking and eating a meal prepared at home. Everyone should know how to cook at least one or two things and that is all Antoni is trying to teach the heroes.

Jonathan Van Ness- Grooming

Giphy

Jonathan Van Ness is the grooming expert of the Fab Five and is in charge of all the makeovers- from hair to makeup to beard. When JVN meets a hero he immediately goes for the hair or beard. Jonathan's job isn't to change a person's look completely, but to show what they may have been hiding. He doesn't expect people to go to the salon every day/week/month for upkeep on their new haircut because they might not have been doing that before- he gives them something simple that they can maintain but it also brings out their best self. As far as their skincare routine, Jonathan makes sure to find products that work for the person he is working with and he does not get the most expensive thing; most of the products can be found in places like Target or WalMart (I know because I use them!).

Tan France- Fashion

Tan France is the fashion expert of the Fab Five, he is in charge of the clothes the heroes wear. Clothes are expensive, we all know this- even Tan knows this. When Tan is shopping with a hero he makes sure to find something that goes along with their style and body so that they don't feel like a stranger in the outfit they are wearing, but he almost always adds a French Tuck as a finishing touch. Tan makes sure to take the heroes shopping at places they can afford not places he wants them to shop at or places that are way out of budget. There have been episodes where Tan has taken a hero to Target or clothes from H&M have been brought in. Tan proves that it is all about how you style things, not about how expensive they are.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
