The five armies Netflix’s Queer Eye he sat down with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday to discuss everything from their new season, As France’s new status as a U.s. citizen, and the current Black Lives Matter movement happening all over the country. And in the middle of explaining exactly why the new season (which launched last week) is perfectly synchronized, that also shared a piece of life-changing advice. As expected, his advice is spot and is situated on the line between self-care, and make a change in the world — as is his M. O.. continue reading to find out their best pieces of life advice.
Karamo Brown
Of course, Karamo (aka, the spectacle of the culture of experts) started life with the advice of a simple message: “You have to focus on yourself first, and it is not selfish, because if you can not lift yourself, then you can’t lift someone else up”.
So France
Such advice is also in line with its title Queer Eye‘s fashion extraordinary: “I don’t think that the way you present yourself to the world is not important, and also, the way in which you look at yourself is not important. Be more gentle with yourself.” He admits that, of course, we all have parts of our body that we’re not 100% happy with, but it is not useful to focus on these, or overcome ourselves above them. “We know that when you present yourself to the world, that is a reflection on you, and you have to make an effort”, said So.
Bobby Berk
Bobby’s message to the LGBTQ+ community, but also to the general population, particularly in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement: the importance of visibility. “Allow the world to be able to put yourself in a position of someone, and see through the eyes of someone who is different to them”, he said, is so important. “It is the opening of the eyes of the people to see that there are people who struggle every day by the color of their skin, and that is not right. It doesn’t affect me, I don’t think of it before, but now that I’m seeing, yes, and I’m going to get out of there . . . to do everything possible to change it.”
Antoni Porowski
Antoni joked that his top tip is to microwave the lemon for five seconds before squeezing to get a lot more juice out of it (and blew Karamo’s mind in the process). But the true piece of life advice is for people to be educated about how to feed themselves and to cook for other people, but he explains that it applies to every part of life. “If you do not understand the systemic racism in this country . . . educate yourself.”
Jonathan Van Ness
Jonathan’s advice was two-fold. In the first place, he explained that it took 1600 hours to get your hair license, “so before you go to make the kitchen beautician in home, in home hair color, or an at-home haircut,” think about that. Jonathan says, that if you are experiencing job loss or insecurity of finance, “you do not want to return to the salon to get corrective color . . . when you are trying to make really important changes in the united states that must be going on.”
