JEER FOR 'QUEER'
New York Post ^ | 1/13/05 | JEER FOR 'QUEER'

Posted on 01/13/2005 1:32:24 AM PST by kattracks

Perhaps "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" should be renamed "Queer Eye for the Scorned Gal."

Dawn Steele, a New Jerseyan whose ex-husband was featured on this season's premiere episode, says the furniture the Fab Five unceremoniously dumped belonged to her — a gift from her late grandparents.

On top of that, she claims the renewal of marriage vows — which the style mavens arranged for Army Spec. Ray Steele and his new wife Maria — sidestepped the fact that the original wedding happened before Ray divorced her, making him a bigamist.

And the show made Ray, 38, look like a hero about to be sent off to war, when he really is a womanizer who left behind out-of-wedlock children, his ex-wife claims.

[snip]

"Issues were raised," said Bravo, the cable network which produces the show. "We've looked into the matter and have determined the claims are not true."

[snip]

The problem is that Steele and his ex-wife did not finalize their divorce until late September, leaving a precariously narrow window between that and the "renewal" of vows for another wedding to take place.

It's not a problem, said Ray Steele's lawyer, José Bastarrika; the Colombian marriage never happened.

"There was a ceremony with her family and friends for him to commit himself to her and profess his love," Bastarrika said. "But there was no marriage."

Dawn still maintains that Ray cheated on her and had two children with other women while they were married, and does little now to help take care of their 6-year-old daughter.

While the show stated that Ray Steele was supposed to be sent to Iraq late last year, he has yet to ship out, said Carolee Nesbit, a spokeswoman for Fort Dix, where he is stationed.

I never saw any flowery stuff.
Dad worked second shift and he'd come home and drag me outta bed on a school night and show me what he'd just learned.
A year of my life was spent as a somnambulent practice dummy....;)

Spend his money on Estee Lauder stuff and maybe that will slow him down! Yes I laugh! The guys are drooling inside if not outside when those shows are on.

My area's full of 'em but you'll have to wrassle 'em first.
We won't mate with anyone we can take 2 outta 3 falls....LOL!

[and that's why I didn't wind up marrying a particular fiance']


People snicker when I say "Red Sonja" is a great flick.....:)

Oprah gags me.
I hate purposeless shopping almost as much as I hate "sensitive girl chat".
If I want that I'll go out and listen to depressed chickens.

LOL My uncle was an Alameda County Sherrifs Deputy for 23 yrs (retired for about 5 now). Every damn wrist lock, throw, hold, pain-compliance...you name it, me or an unlucky relative had it "tried out" on them.I've used several of them doing security or bouncing. Tossed my Dad over a couch by his throat and jewels one Christmas morning. I got that on VHS. Gotta split, have a good night/morning and God Bless.

I've read that they like to take gay men with them to bars to deter other guys.
Exactly what kind of guy would be deterred by some flouncing pantywaist is beyond my ken.

Perhaps it's just to whine about a shared mutual interest; "nasty, awful men".

I can't say for sure because I apparently lack the "homosexual fascination" gene....:)

What little makeup I wear is bought at Wal*Mart and I couldn't name the brand if you put a gun to my head....:))


[he stares fixedly like a bird hypnotized by a snake...I'll try and see if I can spot any drool next time]

Besides...he has free rein with his motor money.
He earns it, he should spend it any way he wants.
[which explains the LED Harley gas tank indicator that showed up last week and several "toys" for his pet AR-15]

That he would rather face roadside bombs in Iraq says a lot about life with her.

From A Bridge Too Far:

American soldier: "Why are these people celebrating?"

British soldier: "They've been liberated! Haven't you ever been liberated?"

American soldier: "I've been divorced twice, does that count?"

Third in the series will be "Queers who need to be turned into actual men".

LOL, they should call it "Straight Eye for the Queer Guy"...
