Oh, dear. Please don't be upset, but this is the final episode of our "Beautiful Moments" vlogs with style guru Simon Doonan. This week, since we're about to say "Bon voyage," Simon pops by to lend some advice about "How to Travel Beautifully."
On "Beautiful People," the madcap Logo series based on Simon's life growing up in dreary suburban England (where he dreams of dashing off to live glamorously in London), Simon's always hankering to escape his hum-drum life. But in reality, Simon reveals he's something of a homebody these days! (Gasp, indeed.)
Still, he's happy to give props to killer vacation spots like the Grand Canyon, tres gay Brighton, England... AND, he tells you how to pack for stylish travel. Less is more, kittens!
Au bientot!
June is wedding season! And gay marriage (heard of it?) is all the rage, whether we're fighting for it, just trying to land a spouse, or planning our own ceremony in Provincetown, Manchester or Des Moines. But how do you strike the right balance of tender sentiment and balls-out fabulousness?
Never fear. Style maven Simon Doonan has some advice for you. The spry design guru, whose teen years inspired his book Beautiful People (which, in turn, inspired the new series on Logo) has some handy wedding tips. And he knows! He wed his hubby, designer Jonathan Adler, last fall in San Francisco, California. The New York Times even covered it!
One gem of a wedding tip: "Keep it small... But alert the media!" says Simon. We gays must make our presence known. Useful info, given it's Pride season, too.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you do want to buy a copy of Simon's "Beautiful People" book and then get it signed (as we discuss in the vlog), email me at John.Polly@logostaff.com. We'll figure something out!
We're in the midst of Pride Season, people! And who better to offer some guidance on how to get through all the parades, parties and vigils with grace and poise than style maven Simon Doonan. The dashing Brit, who's young life is the basis for Logo's delightful show Beautiful People, has seen his share of Gay Pride shenanigans. So soak up some of his wisdom!
Today, in our latest Beautiful Moments vlog, Simon divulges useful Pride tips: Make it glossy (it's all about "floral sheeting") and don't get too terribly wasted, if you can help it (Really, 20 margaritas is plenty, thanks.).
Also, we get Simon's personal stories of Pride, meeting Victoria & David Beckham (the Posh Spice doll factored into this week's Beautiful People, after all) -- and then Cher even makes a cameo!
What could be gayer? Happy Pride!
As last night's episode of Beautiful People showed, family is a wondrous and f*cked-up thing. Oscar-winner Brenda Fricker as Simon Doonan's raging granny? Genius! (And hella scary.)
So in this week's Beautiful Moments installment -- with Father's Day looming, too -- the real Simon Doonan serves up his own advice about how to deal with your parents, how to survive if they're not too terribly gay-friendly (start packing, if you can) and reveals some family secrets about his own Mum and Dad.
And yes, there's a discussion of cameltoe, jumpsuits, and the ultimate importance of not giving a flying-frak about your parents' approval.
Ahhh, wisdom.
And just click through to watch last night's episode of Beautiful People, Darling!!!
Watch out, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry! Simon Doonan may just try and steal your careers!
In this week's Beautiful Moments with Simon Doonan, the man who's the inspiration for the new Logo series Beautiful People, discusses his showbiz dreams.
Gay Shocker: He's never dreamed of being on Broadway (unlike his teen alterego on TV) - but he does wants to be a pop star! And he gives props to his idols like David Bowie and Marc Bolan, as well as today's glamazons, like Adam Lambert.
Enjoy!
Last night saw the premiere of the new show Beautiful People on Logo. In the series, you can watch a 1990s teen version of style maven Simon Doonan cope with adolesence and his leanings for the glam life while living in British suburbia. It's cheeky, funny, sweet and rather gay. And terribly fun!
Now, in our second visit with Simon in the Barneys Design Studio (where he whips up all of the creative brilliance for the store's window displays), we talk a bit out "How to Have a Beautiful Career!" And Simon's advice may surprise you!
Who knew the secret to a fabulous life could be found in retail?
Enjoy!

Greetings, Pumpkins!!! It's Memorial Day Weekend, summer is starting! And a hot new adorably fabulous show is coming to Logo next Tuesday, May 26th. It's the fab comedy Beautiful People, which follows the life of a young Simon Doonan (based on his book) as he grows up in kooky, hard-scrabble Britain! Think the Wonder Years meets Ab Fab and you've got it!
And today brings the debut of a new weekly vlog, "Beautiful Moments with Simon Doonan" in which the super-fab Simon gossips, talks about his lovely life, the show, and most importantly, offers advice on how you too can live beautifully!
Today he explains "How to Have a Beautiful Summer!" and it's not about being demure. When it comes to beachwear, for example, Italians do it better! Less is more! Show off what you've got!
Watch and learn. And come back next week for more!
