Little Beacons of Gorgeousness

I'm borrowing this phrase from Jonathan, the hair stylist in Queer Eye, who has a way with words.

Thanks to Pam's recommendation, I'm so enjoying  Queer Eye on Netflix, the Fab Five going to different Georgia towns each episode to perform little miracles.  Each of these guys specializes in one thing:living spaces, wardrobe, life coaching, hair and skin care, and cooking.  They work together for a week to create changes in their willing subjects.

The final episode "ups the game" of the bearded young mayor of Clarkston, Georgia, the most racially and ethnically diverse small town in Georgia.

When the house is transformed, and the mayor's office turned into a beautiful grown-up one--not a corner of a messy guest room; when he learns to cook, updates his look, and improves his public speaking skills, he and the "mayoress" throw a dinner party for some visiting dignitaries.

While watching the dinner party from their Atlanta loft  Jonathan says, "These are little beacons of gorgeousness!"

Every one of their subjects says, in essence, "You've shown me a whole new side of myself."  Every one wants to pay it forward, share the love, and use what they've learned to make a difference.

To pull off such dramatic renovations, these guys must have a whole team of carpenters and painters and furniture delivery trucks, but we don't see them on screen.

It doesn't matter. Who doesn't like the illusion of a week of magic?
