Since so many of you got into a hissy fit about my pizza in a cone story, I thought I would just go ahead and throw some more fuel on the fire with this.
A new book called Gay Men Donand#8217;t Get Fat by Simon Doonan has intrigued me. The title is a homage to the hugely popular book French Women Donand#8217;t Get Fat and, according to UK newspaper The Guardian, it is an and#8220;arch and witty discourse on aspects of gay and straight life, written in a gossipy, frivolous and ultimately rather lovable styleand#8221;.
Doonan skirts the line of stereotypes by labelling foods as and#8216;Straightand#8217; (burritos!) and and#8216;Gayand#8217; (sushi!). A little bit crass, but actually sounds like something Iand#8217;d like to read for a giggle. And yes, just like the pizza, Iand#8217;m also labelling this book and#8220;funand#8221; (apologies in advance for offending sensitive readers! Iand#8217;m sure Iand#8217;ll feel your wrath again in the comments).
Publishers, send a copy my way, Iand#8217;d love to check it out!
How about you, would you read this?
