Was Michel Gay Or Just French?

Is Michel Gay Or Just French?

Stars Hollow and the world of Gilmore Girls revolved around relationships, but never included an openly gay character or relationship. For heaven’s sake, the guys in the Bunheads ballet troupe came off more testosteroney than some of the camp, eccentric and colourful characters in the Hollow. Do you think any of the Gilmore Girls characters was genuinely closeted?

There were a number of secondary characters whose backstories were never told. Andrew for instance, the bookseller at Stars Hollow Books who made a fine hunk (of marble) as Poussin’s statue, Moissonneur or ‘The Reaper’.

How about Michel? His love for Céline Dion was legendary…

Michel: I have been waiting forever to get this close to Céline. Oh, my god, I’m shaking like a leaf. What should I wear? What would Céline like me in?

…but his mannerisms often seemed to be attributed to his general eccentricities. Gypsy the mechanic never seemed to be with anyone but she also never seemed to need to be with anyone. Tobin the night desk clerk? Sookie’s midwife doula, Bruce? Or Brad, Rory’s classmate and one-time Broadway starlet?

Brad: Through good times and bad, Chilton formed us, brought us hope, honed our insight, gave us encouragement. Though my time here was briefly interrupted by my period spent on Broadway hanging out with Stephen Sondheim, I still consider Chilton the most rewarding experience of my young life. Now it had always been my plan in closing to recite a short poem I’d written.
Louise: (to Madeline) But you reconsidered.
Madeline: Come on, Brad. Go out a winner.
Brad: But as I read it aloud, I realized the sentiments I wanted to share with my fellow students were better expressed in a favourite song of mine. [He sings] Cherish is the word I use to describe… Bong, bong. Bong, bong. 
Rory: Oh, Brad.

For a show that was all about relationships, was a gay coupling noticeably absent? What difference would having an openly gay character or couple in the recurring cast have made? Who do you think might have been closeted?  Or nobody?  Was Michel gay, just French or something else altogether?

WHAT IS AN INFLATABLE TENT? INFLATABLE CAMPING FAMILY TENT

Published

Inflatable Tent

An inflatable tent may sound a little different, unsafe and simple when first mentioned, but it is possible if we consider today’s material and fabric technologies and quality. There are actually inflatable tent options from good outdoor brands around the world, but they are not very popular yet.

What is an Inflatable Tent?

Inflatable tents are just like any other tent, with one important difference. Inflatable tents use inflatable beams that are pumped to provide the structure, rather than traditionally used poles made of metal, plastic or fiberglass.

It is possible to inflate and prepare the inflatable tent using only a pump. Generally speaking, they are actually much quicker to set up than traditional tents, and some can go up in a matter of minutes. Some may take longer than others, but overall the process is smoother and more fluid.

Why is it preferred?

Actually, the most obvious reason is; we can say that it makes installation/removal work easier and saves time. When setting up an inflatable tent, all you have to do is unpack the tent and its pump, start inflating it, and your tent is ready in 5 minutes. Of course, we do not forget to drive the stakes.

Is Inflatable Tent Reliable?

We’re not talking about the cheap, misshapen seabed-like weird tent here. Properly manufactured air tents are made of materials to a high standard and carefully crafted by engineers. In terms of security, it is no worse than other tents. It may even be better than most tents.

  • The probability of puncture and explosion by normal means is very low.
  • Although it is thought that it can fly because it is filled with air, it holds onto the ground very well thanks to its stakes and wind tensioners and bends less than other tents.
  • It is much more resistant to fire than normal tents.
  • Since its fabric is special, its tear and puncture resistance is much higher than normal tents.

What are the Cons of Inflatable Tents?

  • It is more difficult to collect than to install.
  • Since a tent for 2-3 people weighs around 20KG, it is not possible to transport it without a vehicle.
  • It takes up more space than normal tents. For 2-3 person tent, there may be a package size such as 80cm*40cm*40cm.

Frequently asked Questions

What are the dimensions?

  • In its bag: 40cm * 40cm * 90cm
  • Open state: 3m * 3m * 1.80m

Is it suitable for winter?

It may not work well in severe winter conditions.

Does it make noise in the wind?

No he does

How is the wind resistance?

Thanks to the wind tensioners, there is no problem in wind, but it has not been tested in a storm environment.

Is the fabric resistant to the heat of the stove?

Yes, it is durable, however, fireproof fabric is sent for the floor in the versions with a stove.

What is the risk of explosion?

There is no risk of explosion unless particularly forced. The inflatable frame stays inside the tent, there is a particularly strong material at the bottom, so there is no problem. The fabric and ground material are much harder and more durable than normal tents.

Is it easy to collect?

It’s harder to set up. Experience is required to do it by one person. It can be assembled in 5-10 minutes with 2 people.

Do the inflatable parts touch the ground?

No it doesn’t

Does it have a plastic smell?

Yes, too little to be felt. Those with very sensitive noses may notice it.

What temperatures is it resistant to?

When looking at the material technical information, it appears as -40 / +70.

How many kilos does it weigh?

It weighs between 15 and 30 kilos depending on the model.

Will it last for a long time?

The materials used can withstand harsh conditions for a long time. Supplementary materials such as zippers and clips may wear out over time.

What will we do if it explodes?

It is difficult to explode, but if it explodes, there is patch and glue in its bag.

Can a tent be inflated with an electric pump?

It will inflate, but you need to make sure that the pressure is sufficient depending on the pump model.

Can the windows be closed?

All windows can be closed, and they all have fly screens.

Is using a stove more risky than other tents?

No, we can actually say it is safer.
