Love In This Club











Sadly, last night was the final episode of Logo's run of the BBC's Beautiful People. Although BBC is already filming season 2, I'm actually quite sad to see it go, even for a little while. Beautiful People was stunning and refreshing from the start--crazy enough to place one gay tween as the hero, with an even more gay tween sidekick! The show is set in the late 1990's (leaving obvious references to such gay squires as Posh Spice, Princess Diana, and the thousand and one boy/girl groups invading both our countries). Just find me a gay twentysomething that doesn't relate to this show in some way. Dare I say it, Logo, you actually appealed to a demographic!

The season finale left a few unanswered questions (mainly, Simon's mom really doesn't think he's gay?), but overall it gave that warm and fuzzy happy feeling I've lacked since Gilmore Girls went off the air. Here's to more wacky, overly supportive family comedy this fall(?).

And my favorite scene from this year (with a little unintentional nod to MJ just 'cuz):
