Steven Cojocaru in Variety

Was he in Aerosmith?

You beat me to it, r1!

I honestly thought he died. There was a period there he was having liver failure or something.

That's what I thought too at first glance R1!

Also - I don't know her.

The article states she's 50?????

Oh my sides!

His hair extensions nearly killed him!

R6 Literally!

Always get him confused with Frankie or this flamer.

Is this Frou Frou?

Wow. Complete blast from the past. He looks almost exactly the same as in the '90s since he always seemed to have already had multiple cosmetic procedures. Now, they're just for real.

If he's 50, then I'm 23.

First page of a Google search shows him as 50, 53, and 63. Ima go with the latter.

I think it’s so dumb and counterproductive to lie about one’s age.

Everything but the bloodhounds snappin’ at his rear end.

His timeline is hinky, my guess a toxic mix of alcohol, pills, or party drugs did his kidneys in. I actually had a friend lose kidney function from a sharp slap to his backside, his Dominican grandmother gave him tincture that brought back full function…

I would argue there was no smartphone or social media platforms back then and he as well as other outsize characters on TV and paper media sort of fell flat. Fashion people like Fekkai and Patricia Field, who had a serious lull with her stores before booking “Sex & the City”…

I remember Garren the hairdresser was frigging everywhere back then, I had applied as a colorist, had three models booked to meet him, then two other colorists suddenly quit the shop I was working at and I decided to stay put. He went bankrupt six months later and close his shop.

I met him at a club back in the day, and although I didn’t ask to see his ID or anything, it was pretty clear to me we were about the same age. I’m 60.

This might be the gayest paragraph ever written: "Rock bottom came one sweltering afternoon in 2016 when he needed “booze and cigarettes.” He suited up in python boots, Dior jeans and his trademark hair extensions for a walk to a gas station (located miles away, across a golf course in the middle of the desert). Ten feet into the journey he began to lose consciousness. The adhesive from the extensions melted and rolled down into his eyes, blinding him like acid."

R17 If there’s a greater piece of writing in the annals of English literature I’d like to know about it.

R17 In my day we did it better.

Nasty aesthetics. Greasy overtanned trash. Could never understand this creature's mass appeal when there were so many who were so much better at the time.

Alcoholics have a rough time of it. I'm glad he's come out the other side.

R17 - a mere 10 feet into the journey! Ok - now I know it's hot in the Palm Springs area - I've spent summers there before, but COME ON! 10 feet?

I know this is a PR placed piece to get him some sympathy and jobs, but man - it's just all lies.

Never liked him - thought he was too much of a 'let's laugh at the gays' kind of gay, and I don't appreciate those.

The article at OP says that he had *two* kidney transplants due to polycystic kidney disease, which is an inherited thing.

Seeing him reminds me of Rachel Zoe.

Steven Cojocaru; born July 4, 1972), is a Canadian television fashion critic. He was born in Montreal, Quebec to Romanian parents.

Wiki says he's 51.

Those TEETH!

r24 He looks like multiple celebrities. Janine Turner, Cherie Oteri... a touch of Sheryl Crow? But also someone whose name escapes me...who is it?

Chaz Bono

Is this Aerosmith

Aerosmith:

Bad wig

A dash of Tom Petty

Shitty chains like these are a dime a dozen in The Europes.

She looks like she’s going to play Sharon Stone’s girlfriend in a movie.

His lips in OP’s picture look like my blown out asshole.

I loved it when he sang ‘Neverending Story’.

R24 His dentures are are a lot younger than he is.

Wig. The “old school”adhesive had benzene in it, and the gals that work at Hair Club are told to step back after applying to let dry so they don’t pass out. He’d likely have to paint entire top of his head every week to wash and reset it.

By the way, I would love to invite all you to a dinner party, but “don’t talk about me while I’m gone!”

She sho’ is ugleee!

And a bit of Pia Zadora…

IMDB says he was born July 4, 1962.

Isn’t he married to a former student who went on to become the President of France? Emmanuel Macron I think it is?

I always liked him. Sorry to hear about his rough patches…

Wow he’s fug. Then and now.

He looks like a blonde version of Sally Hershberger.

His kidney disease and the medications that he took altered his looks. Couldn’t be helped.

I get him confused with Chaz Dean.

Boozing after 2 kidney transplants? I try not to judge but I'm judging (and a total alcoholic myself)

FUCK OFF r46!!!!
