My Gayest Look

posted by on March 26 at 21:10 PM

Deeply annoyed Americans—gay and straight—are giving Jay Leno their “gayest look” at MyGayestLook.com. Our own Erica C. Barnett is at the top of the site right now.

I’m in there somewhere too—and taking Armistead Maupin’s picture under that billboard advertising closets? Totally my idea. Check out MyGayestLook.com here.

If that is ECB, then I totally get her warped political sense, and general depravity.

This reminds me of the time back in '91 or '92 when gay people protesting the filming of Basic Instinct in no way reinforced the stereoptype that they're oversensitive and whiny.

Actually, ECB's pretty cute. She looks like a geisha.

Ah, I love the smell of staged collective indignation in the morning. It makes me feel so ... morally superior.

The HOLIDAY CHEER on the box in the background is a nice touch.
In other, I'd have Erica Barnett's babies, if she were so gracious as to let me. Meow.

We may be ugly, but we have excellent grammar.

Ah, I love the smell of sneering sarcasm in the morning, especially when gay people say fuck you to homophobia. It makes me feel so ... aromatically superior.

Okay. I think this is awesome. Dan--your photo's totally cute. And so is Mr. Maupin's. Speaking of Maupin, I'm in San Francisco right now and can't figure out how anyone can live anywhere else. This place is perfect. I love it here. But that could be because when I left MI a few days ago we were in the middle of getting 7" of snow.

So, anyway. Good site. Screw Jay Leno.

I don't see much good coming out of this except that it got Erica to smile a little bit, and that makes it all worth it.

Erica looks straight to me:)

Maybe just wishful thinking fom an Obamaton...call me?

Ah, I love the smell of my soaked armpits in the late evening, especially when I've just spent forty-five minutes on a treadmill. It makes me feel so ... pheromonally superior.

@15

You should try lugging concrete block for minimum wage, or pulling squeegees in a t-shirt sweat shop. The sweat means more that way, you should try it. Guaranteed the best workout you ever got, plus the weight loss plan is good when you can no longer afford food.

Take a minimum wage job and donate your free time to something better.

Yup...People do that at the AFU in Bremerton. You should try it.

Man, Armistead Maupin looks seriously pissed. Every time I've ever met him he's seemed like such a congenial guy. Guess he's not amused by Leno's humor.

Great site.

Yeah, that explains a lot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

No wonder!

ECB is just a homely angry horny little girl!!

LMMFAO!!!!!!

ECB, usually i'm a bitter critic to most everything you post, but seeing you flipping me the bird... well, that just warms my heart.

Bless you sister! *sniff*

I don't watch Jay Leno.. ever. What did he do to arouse this communal finger flagging? Sorry if I appear terribly untrendy.

ECB stole boxes from the Post Office! This is an incriminating picture!

Aw, I'd never pictured ECB so cute!

She kinda looks like Hillary's daughter.

The writers strike must have been left Leno mentally damaged. Mocking gay people is the last resort of the comically challenged.

Posted by Vince | March 27, 2008 8:07 AM

I could see if Leno started lisping at him or something, but jeez. One little thing and we're going to buy a freaking domain and make a web site.
YOU SAID WE LIKE SHOES? FUCK YOU! POST YOUR FEET AND YOU FLIPPING THE BIRD NEXT TO THEM ON FUCKYOUMYSHOESARESHITTYANDIMGAYTOO.COM

As this takes off and gets big, Dan?

Remember to properly credit that kinda- stoned looking guy who started it.

Ewww...That's ECB?

OK, that explains alot.

That Marc guy below Dan is arguably the hottest of them all. I will find him.

hey napoleon. read the fucking credits on the website in question before you get all holy and fucktarded. the site is clearly credited to that slightly stoned looking guy and some fat bitch, not dan savage.

Looks like someone here needs an attitude adjustment.

That picture actually doesn't do her justice.... she's much cuter in person.

I think Erica is cute too!

uh, I don't see how you can call those "gay looks"...I don't see any dick, splooge, poppers, and there's not a rum and coke or feather boa in sight.

pathetic.

I like the self-portrait photos that make it seem like people are very angry at their living rooms. Or, their bondage bear (otterevil). Will someone make a giant animated GIF? I smell a meme coming on. (Hopefully that's not tsm I smell.)

ECB's wonderful, but if that's her gayest look she really needs to work on it.

wow.. if you scroll down and see Dan from the nose up.... looks a lot like Bill Nye!

@18 I thought the same thing. I've met Armistead and I've seen him have to deal with assholes, but I've never seen him look so pissed. He could totally take Jay Leno down.

Great idea! Jay Leno is a tool.

Awww, Erica is so cute.

erica is a doll, but that's not a very gay photo. any proper queen would have tidied up the background. all that clutter just reeks of heterosexuality.

Dumb? Yes. Unfunny? To be sure? But offensive? Not so much.

Geezus, Maupin's looking old.

Was anybody else completely bummed by "Maybe The Moon" or entirely pissed off at the ending of "The Night Listener?" I *LOVE* the "Tales" books but I haven't read "Tolliver" because so much of his output after the original 6 "Tales" volumes has been so disappointing. He's still a great storyteller, the stories have just gotten sadder and darker.

I'd love to catch up with "Mouse," but I'm afraid it would just disappoint.

Someone should send Leno a bunch of disturbing scene-of-the-crime photos of gay folks beaten and/or killed and title them "Gayest Look".

Posted by Sheri | March 27, 2008 4:27 PM

Honestly I found it was the combination of Dan and Erica that made so much deep sense and I have kind of felt annoyed at Leno for Hosting Arnold without hosting his democratic opponent. Leno trys to play slick hip liberal, but little do we realize that he is the last famous charismatic bastion of 1980's right wing computer youth. Our Slog Heroes have put themselves on the line to call a Tool a Tool. Beauty happens in many forms.
