Queer Eye for the Straight Girl, which aired from January to May 2005, is a spin-off of the television show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. As the name suggests, the program focuses on makeovers for women while following the format of the original show. While the original show is mostly set in New York City, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl is set in Los Angeles. The hosts are called "The Gal Pals" and include three gay men and a lesbian. The show was unsuccessful and ended after the first season.

Reception

People said, "Laughlin appears ticketed for the chief quipster's role, though he lacks the waspish wit of Straight Guy's Carson Kressley. Labrador is buff and sexy, and Teeson has a New Age slant that suggests he's about inner peace as well as party planning. The cast is adequate, but the show comes off as a calculated Queer Eye brand extension."^[2] The New York Times's Alessandra Stanley wrote, "What began as a carefree makeover lark turns into a Queen for a Day tear-jerker, and that is more unsettling than it is amusing."^[3]

In a positive review, The Washington Post television critic Tom Shales said, "It may not be original, but in context and under the circumstances, it's definitely good for a lump in the throat. Queer Eye for the Straight Girl, like its predecessor, makes Television Land a nicer place to hang out."^[4]
