    But they're not. Every girl wants a gay friend they can bring shopping with them and he fits the description perfectly.

    A by product of the decaying society we live in.

    The horror of this thread is that I knew who GOK was. :(

    He is this years passing fancy for the gays and girls to swoon over.

    I heard he used to be a woman. Or a horse. Probably one of them My Little Ponies.

    I also heard he secretly eats children.

    Who or what is OK? I thought it sounded something like some bodily fluid that may be released upon some form of touching, erotic or not, to some part of the body. And no I do not mean penis necessarily!

    You're thinking of gock(y) as in icky ocky horse's gocky. That means poo.

    This Gok creature is what they call a fashion guru but much like other gurus e.g. the Maharishi, Eddie Hobbs etc. he will be found out and exposed for the useless exploitative waster that he is.


    note: I say "he" but I really don't know.

    http://www.gok.ca/ I presume that's not it. What the hell is this Gok?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,094 ✭✭✭✭javaboy


    I had an Irish teacher in secondary school who was called GOC. It was weird because his initials were COG but I guess the other way around sounded better. He had dreadful fashion sense and looked like Mr. Bean.

    TBH I wasnt really thinking of anything. What a horrible image to put into my head now! At least I am a wee bit closer to understanding wha this GOK character isn't...supposedly!

    Hehe :D

    Thankfully I can ask, in total ignorance, who/what the hell is GOK?

    Maybe I'm better off not knowing, but curiosity etc.

    What or who the fup is GOK?

    All you need to know about this character is his surname.

    Gok Wan.

    That's an anagram, I don't need to complete it do I ?

    No, you certainly don't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Gok Wan - a Sino-British stylist. Has the misfortune of having a first name that rhymes with his favourite thing in the world... (sorry). Well maybe it's not his first name cuz of the whole Chinese reversal name thingie but it's what he's known as.

    Anyway, he's a very talented stylist. He really has a great eye for the correct styles to suit different shapes, and he does beautiful things with outfits in terms of accessorising them etc. Plus, he seems to have loads of tricks up his sleeve (heh) for turning something mundane into something knockout. I'm not a shopping obsessed bint only concerned with what's "fashionable" and I have mucho respect for him. He's also all about the being confident with your body thing - How To Look Good Naked was his show. So he may be extraordinarily camp and feisty, but he doesn't come across as your stereotypical nasty bitchy queen working in the fashion world who'd call a size 8 17-year-old "fat-ass".

    We need more Goks in this world!

    I think Lucys best hope for looking naked is global warming knocking out the electric lightbulbs while simultaneously crows pick out the eyes of everyone on the planet.

    Gok Wan, I'd imagine he definitely never played Junior Hurling.

    As a Chinese, gay, fat (yes he's slim now but was really overweight when younger apparently) kid, he had the pleasure of growing up in a rough Birmingham council estate. I'd say he's tough as nails...

    What? An openly gay man who instead of harshly criticising women, tries to help them feel more confident in themselves?

    Oh noes, lord help society that gay men might be open about it and women might be confident.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    I recognise his face from tv. He made me switch over afair.

    Maybe he was talking more about the general deification of these television gurus. People are 'learning' how to live their lives from TV.

    That's what I took from it. Maybe you're suffering from homophobophobia. It's an irrational fear of homophobic people/acts. It tends to lead to a lot of over political correctness, jumping on bandwagons and seeking out offence where none is intended. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    he tells everyone there bueatuiful and never criticises anybody clothes , lick.

    Goks great! He seems really genuine and love the outfits he puts together for next to nothing!

    I only copped it recently that GOK was a he!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭oranjeboom


    Ah I love Gok. He is a tough as nail I would also say. But he is the 1st fashionista that doesn't think all girls should be like rake's. I did get sick of the 'How to look good naked' after a while same thing every week but some of the stuff he does is great. He has clothes for all shapes not just twigs.
