Park it, Danielle and Teresa! There’s a new clan of “Queens” taking off the tube — and they’ve got testosterone and bigger balls!
On Tuesday, LOGO released the first preview of its long buzzed-about docu-soap, The A-List: New York.
Who says living the high life is just for the ladies?
The gay-interest cable network has ordered eight 60-minute episodes of the rainbow-friendly docudrama inspired by Bravo’s smash Real Housewives series. The unscripted reality soap will center on a group of wealthy Manhattan toy boy lovers and the wealthy saps who finance them. Filming on the project — from the producers of The Real Housewives of Atlanta — began in November.
“Logo’s much-buzzed-about original docu-series delves into the privileged lives of New York City’s real gay homemakers and socialites,” the network said in release last spring. “Follow the friendships, rivalries and aspirations of the Big Apple’s elite ‘kept’ men, and some who aspire to be kept, and discover the astonishing realities about all the things money can – and can’t – buy.”
In layman’s terms, it’s like Queer as Folk on X.
“The A-List: New York features some of New York City’s most talked about gay elite including The Amazing Race winner actor/model (and Lance Bass’ former boyfriend) Reichen Lehmkuhl, his Brazilian model boyfriend Rodiney Santiago, renowned celebrity photographer (Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Dolly Parton, Christina Aguilera) and RuPaul’s Drag Race and America’s Next Top Model staple Mike Ruiz, international model (and Marc Jacobs’ former flame) Austin Armacost, modeling agent Derek Lloyd Saathoff, and ultra-high-end salon owner Ryan Nickulas,” according to a press release from LOGO issued Tuesday.
“The A-List: New York follows these ‘boys who brunch’ from their glamorous, high-profile careers in Manhattan to their weekends vacationing amongst the multi-million dollar homes of The Hamptons and the sexy, exclusive summer getaway Fire Island. Viewers will follow these A-listers daily lives ranging from Mike Ruiz’s celebrity driven photo shoots to Reichen’s Off-Broadway debut to Ryan’s booming business at his lavish salon. Throughout the series, the cast brush shoulders with the celebrities, socialites and renowned personalities that make Manhattan one of the most desirable cities in the world.”
The A-List: New York premieres Monday, Oct. 4 @ 10/9c on LOGO.
