Hunk Friday: Glitterace

Um, this is pretty obvious to me: Gay Liberace, the stars and stripes one, is the clear winner.

May I suggest that you get the Stars and Stripes for your home and Th Czar for our office? Nothing would make me happier than have a 2nd cubicle buddy. Lauren and Liberace....together forever.

Stars and Stripes all the way baby.

The Czar: You can take him home to your parents, bring him in to work and have him as a guest at your dinner party (he'd make a great greeter!). This facet of Liberace spares the average person, unfamiliar with his effervescent and overstated attire, from being exposed to too much satiny skin or bright rhinestones upon their first encounter. He will smile at all the things you say, and listen, instead of hogging the limelight like Glitterace and Stars and Stripes Foreverace might. With a firm hand, he will rule your dreams and sing. Sing! Haters beware, this version of Liberace will charm the pants off even the most difficult critics.

Cos, you know - hanging with absolute rulers means never having to say you're Tsar-ry. Sorry!

Haha.

Not even a contest. Czar all the way.

Poor Mystery Daterace, so unquestionably defeated. Looks like it's a race of epic proportions between Hilary & Obama, I mean the Czar and Stars & Stripes Foreverace!

Okay. So the Suzer votes Daterace because she says that he adds that special little touch of Ole! to everyday life. You could still put a boa on him, she says.

I personally am voting the Czar because, though he's political, he seems more universally appropriate. He could strike up a conversation with any old person at a dinner party, he's not too formal like the daterace, nor is he distractingly bedazzled, like stars and stripes.

There can be only one: Stars & Stripes Foreverace.

Fringe,Volleyball Shorts, Red White and Blue Argyle, and Bowling Shoes.

No contest.

Those voting for the Czar are communists; the undeniable choice is Stars and Stripes.

The Czar most definitely, because it wouldn't be Liberace without a cape(and a young, strong thing to carry it off stage for him).

I've slept next to them all and frankly I'm not a fan of any. They are cold, lifeless and flat in areas where it counts. I suppose if I had to choose I would say "Stars & Stripes" purely out of my appreciation for his manly leg hair.

The tally as it stands:

Mystery Daterace - 1
The Czar - 5
Stars & Stripes Foreverace - 6

I get the feeling this is turning into a "if Stars & Stripes loses, terror wins" type thing.

Stars & Stripes Foreverace All The Way!!!!!!!!!!! Karaoke anyone?

It's the Czar, for sure. I love me some epaulettes!

Czar ftw

The Czar is the only way to greet your guests. Welcome to my Fabulous Kingdom!

Hi Darin - thanks for so much for stopping by and commenting! It's wonderful to hear more about the Glitter Man from the folks who know him best and I will definitely keep you up to date with the final decision.

Cheers!

I love this poll! I'm the co-author of "Liberace Your Personal Fashion Consultant", which has all 3 of these and a bunch more cardboard "punch-outs" that come with little stands and stand up on your desk (or dashboard, or headboard ;-) ). They all have funny captions relating to when you might want to wear the outfit pictured. So, if you don't quite have room for the lifesized stand-up, you can try the 18" Liberaces and mix and match whichever outfit you mood into that day. Viva Liberace!

Hi Michael - your book sounds like the perfect option for Liberace fans young and old alike! Thanks so much for providing an alternate idea for those of us with small apartments and viva Liberace indeed!

I'd like to change my vote to Stars and Stripes Foreverace. I've seen the light and don't want the terrorists to win if Stars and Stripes loses.

I actually voted for Stars and Stripes Foreverace before I voted against it. :/
