When it comes to style, Simon Doonan feels like gays are the chosen people. In Gay Men Don’t Get Fat, Doonan further elucidates on a thought that struck him as he ate a turkey burger with no bun at an otherwise hetero barbecue: do straight people have any idea how many calories are in the guacamole? Why are the dudes all wearing oversized Tommy Bahama shirts?
A Gucci-wearing Margaret Mead at heart, Doonan offers delightful insights about what drives gay people to live every day feeling their best. In this hilarious guide to the good life, he goes beyond the secrets to eating like the French—in fact, he suggests that gay men are French women at heart, from their delight in fashion, to their brilliant choices in accessories and decor, to their awe-inspiring ability to limit caloric intake.
Threaded throughout the narrative are terrific personal stories: from slimming jaunts to Capri to a Weight Watchers meeting in downtown Manhattan. Doonan’s book is more than an approach to life—it’s the key to a colorful and escapist lifestyle. His voice is addictively funny throughout this witty send-up, which is sure to satisfy drama queens, French women and skinny bitches of all shapes and sizes.
