Proof of the radical gay agenda? Simon Doonan—the Barney's New York creative director last seen hooking up with NBA hotness Ben Gordon—decorated the White House Christmas Tree in the Blue Room. The right-wing wingnuts and teabaggers are outraged the decoupaged ornaments include a signed photo of New York City drag star Hedda Lettuce and Andy Warhol's campy presentation of Chairman Mao.
The predictable shock and horror from FOX News, who notes the ornaments are "too close to baby Jesus" AFTER THE JUMP...
Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon, one of the standout players in the NBA, goes from making some rather suggestive moves on-the-court to making some moves behind the scenes in the fashion industry. Gordon is well-known for his tasteful fashion aesthetic and gets his fashionista on for ESPN: The Magazine. The baller spends the day and camps it up with Simon Doonan, the Barney's creative director and husband to designer and Bravo personality Jonathan Adler.
"I have a European fashion sense," Gordon tells Doonan. "I love the fine tailoring and the fit."
AFTER THE JUMP, via Rod 2.0 reader FF, watch the video and a few more photos. And despite the many stereotypes, how freakin' cool is it that a black professional ball player appreciates fashion and can glam and camp it up with fashion's power gays?
