so here's the story
The other day, I was flipping through the radio stations and stumbled across an interview with Zaib Shaikh. For those that don't know, Zaib is a Canadian actor/comedian who currently stars on CBC's Little Mosque on the Prairie.

That is not, however, where I know him from. A while back, some of you may recall, I spent some time not sleeping, and in doing so ended up watching a late night soap opera called Metropia. Zaib played a character named Jayesh. Now, some of you may also recall me writing Metropia fanfiction for Rajeev/Jayesh --who really were very endearing.

Here's where the story gets stranger.

The two guys interviewing Zaib (on the radio) couldn't stop obsessing over Zaib's outfit. Apparently, according to them, Zaib's outfit was reminiscent of a gay Sherlock Holmes. This then led into a debate over whether or not Sherlock Holmes was gay. His "relationship" with Watson was brought up several times, as was his aversion to women.

The above story made me rather giddy, as a) I do so love fanish connections, and b) it is nice to know that slashers are not the only ones seeing the Holmes/Watson, and, finally, c) from what little I've seen of Zaib, he seems rather trendy, which can only mean that Victorian garb is coming back into style, and, if so, yay! Top hats, people; top hats!
