I Finally got around to watching the season premiere of the new A-List show on LOGO. Then I tuned in last night for the second show. The A-list New York was quite different than what I was expecting I was thinking it was more of a show the advertising suggested that it would show more club scenes and taking part in A-List events. For one the Broadway show that Reichen Lehmkuhl’s acted in his friends were not sitting on the front row they seemed to be back in the back how A-List is this? Should we show them what an A-List really consists of? Then again sometimes the VIP sections are not in the front row (really?).
Reichen’s dinner story with Austin was one that really intrigued me about this herbal supplement he took at a party and he said he walked around with a hard on for two hours or so. Wow. And what might the name of this herbal supplent be so that I can purchase it myself?
The guy who is most A-list is Mike Ruiz in my opinion because of his photography is so world known. Mike has worked with Britney Spears, Lance Bass, Beyonce, Dolly, Ru Paul, and Kelly Rowland. The next A-lister of importance would be Reichen Lehmkuhl who is famous mostly from when Lance Bass came out. I mean I know few people who paid attention to CBS “The Amazing Race,” but then again it had its audience. Reichen seemed to act like he was embarrassed of his relationship with NSYNC’s Lance Bass like he wanted to move away from that and be known for something else. I don’t think that’s too bad of a thing to be known for Lance is hotter than Rodney in my opinion. Maybe it’s the eyes?
Neither Austin Armacost or Rodiney Santiago stood out as models. Nothing like the models they had on the BRAVO TV show Manhunt now those were some hot boys. Rodiney at first seemed like your typical Brazilian model who gets attached to a boyfriend in a short time and being bi-sexual (citizenship?). We could all use a Brazilian model but make sure he has a job first.
My favorite on the show besides Mike Ruiz is Derek Lloyd Saathoff. Derek who called Austin Armacost a “Neanderthal” is actually a southern boy who has a successful career in Model Management is mainly why I watch the show but he does get a little bitchy at times. He in a way is the stereotypical attitude of New York Social scene and that’s good and its bad. I think hes the most attractive but that’s because hes the one I would want to date or marry until he calls me a “Neanderthal”.
I am glad to see Austin on the show because it shows what someone who has been kicked out of the A-list looks like and their struggle to get back online. You can tell he’s kind of past his prime even at only 22, there is just no future in modeling I can see for him. I know thirty-year-olds that could deserve a spot in modeling more than him. Austin hanging up the phone on Derek and acting like a Farm Animal is just not proper in the Hamptons or in LA where he lived. No one does that well unless they are on a reality show. Oh yeah and this home that Austin owns in London? hmm.
Ryan Nickulas just seems like the most adorable character (but then again who doesn’t love Salon owners) on the show him and his assistant (or friend or whatever role that guy is supposed to play) he’s gossiping with all the time. Ryan certainly works with A-list celebs and he’s legally married. Overall I was hoping for more single action on the show and more bar hopping and clubbing but this is a different kind of A-list and sadly I am still addicted to the new LOGO show. I would have really loved to have seen a nightclub owner or promoter on this show such as John Blair or Chris Ryan.
I really think a fundraiser to benefit needy teenagers is a really great place to start a bitch fight.
