Seven Reasons Why Gay BFFs are (Better Than) God

1.     Their Cat Walk is Better than Yours

It’s just not fair.  Let’s be honest, they can rock the catwalk better than Cara Delavigne during Fashion Week.  Even when they are walking to CVS, only a block away from the dorms, they are workin’ it.  And it’s not even like they are wearing sneakers (they wouldn’t be caught dead)… you will see them wearing five-inch Louboutin’s going to buy toilet paper, meanwhile they are strutting their stuff better than the Cheetah Girls circa 2003. 

2.     Their Wardrobe is Your Wardrobe

That Celine bag that you’ve been dying to buy for the last three months?  Yeah, you can most likely find that in your gay best friend’s closet.  So if your roommate’s being too feisty about sharing clothes, the good thing about going fashion school is that you can walk down the hall and raid your gay friends closet.

3.     They Worship Rihanna Just as Much as You Do

More likely than not, it’ll be your gay friend that is sending you Rihanna’s latest Instagrams and Tweets (not that you’ve already seen them) of her partying at Greenhouse the night before.  I mean, who else would I have found out about her latest collection for River Island? 

4.     They Have the Best Guy Advice

So when your feeling overly dramatic when your hookup from two nights ago said he would call but didn’t, there is no better person to share a pint of Ben and Jerry’s with than your gay bestie.  They are essential to any friend group, because they will be the ones to back you up when your real bestie is telling you to stop being so emotional.  Which brings me to my next point….

5.     They Are Never Afraid to be Too Sassy

They learn from the best aka by watching every season of The Real Housewives and Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  So when you’re feeling like too much of a wimp to tell your real bestie to shut up and stop being such a bitch, leave it to your gay BFF to do so.  Drama is their thing, I mean, they practically major in gossiping. 

6.      They are more Scandalous than Marilyn Monroe

So when you think you had the ultimate night of scandal by hooking up with a rando you met at 1Oak last night, just multiply that by 3 and that’s the kind of night your Gay BFF has had.  Your GBFF has no shame in telling every dirty detail of this story loud enough for your waitress to hear and smirk about as she’s putting your order in.  Like they care?  They want the whole world to know about their fabulous sex life that is totally better than yours. 

7.     They Are Always Down for an Impromptu Photoshoot

So for the days when you are feeling ultra-fabulous and your roomie is totally raining on your pretty parade, just call up your gay bestie (who should already be on speed dial).  They are always there to tell you how amazing your legs look (only after mentioning you went on a 3 mile run the day before), but still, it’s a confidence booster, and they know how to work the camera better than Nigel Barker on America’s Next Top Model.
