The Gay Pal

The gay pal is the straight guy's personal magician, casting the spell of fabulosity over what would otherwise be a beige, unimaginative, upscale het-guy existence. Funny how the years change us. In high school he was mercilessly taunted and flogged for his delicate, sissy nature. Now his sensibilities and aesthetic choices are a precious resource. Gay men have always been the advance guard of metrosexuality -- just another marginalized underclass who took it on the chin so that white, het guys could benefit from the lifestyle innovations. Hmm... History repeats itself? Anyway, every metrosexual needs a gay pal and his queer eye.

Meaning: Skill, vision, hard work, inspiration.

Reversed: Betrayal, duplicity, loss of direction..
