Simon Doonan on the Food that Will Make You ‘Explode In a Nuclear Cloud of Gayness’
Becoming read aloud to by Simon Doonan is a uncommon treat–one that I was privy to yesterday when Barneys’ creative ambassador-at-large held story time at the department shop to promote his most recent book, Gay Guys Do not Get Fat ($ 24.95, Blue Rider Press). The book is Doonan’s fourth, and it is a hilarious piss take at French Girls Do not Get Fat, dedicated to “the straight ladies of the world, whose lives seem insanely far more complex than my own and whose shoes ought to certainly hurt like hell.” Getting read to from it was like finding a slightly dirty totally hilarious bed time story from the gay uncle you wish you had, only at 9 a.m. over yogurt and berries at Barneys–so, even gayer.
Speaking of yogurt and berries, Doonan would tell you that they are completely gay foods. Foods, according to Doonan, can be categorized by their sexuality. He discussed this theory, and a lot a lot more yesterday, including: why fashion individuals ought to stop getting so masochistic, why he’d be a horrible addition to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the abysmal state of the red carpet, and why you shouldn’t get offended by his book.
On categorizing foods:
I can’t think individuals constantly thought there were 4 food groups. It is so apparent that there’s two–there’s gay food and straight food. I mean a bean burrito, hello, it’s a phallic symbol, it is clearly straight. I’m not advocating gay food although I’m advocating a balance of the two. For example you order a steak then you want a nelly salad.
