Tan France's Real Reality

There’s so much more to me than meets the (Queer) eye. Follow along for the behind-the-scenes of my real life.

Shooting Next in Fashion, life in NYC and canceled flights. It’s been a week.

I’ve now been in NYC a couple of weeks and really feel settled in to a routine. When I first got here, I had a day off before I started work, and I felt really blue. I didn’t plan anything with friends, as I wanted to be free to go to the stores to get whatever I needed to feel at home at my temporary apartment. But, I was done by mid day an...

First week of Next in Fashion down, and settling in to NYC life

It’s crazy how fast the time is going by for me, here in New York. I’m here for 5 weeks and sad that I'm already 2 weeks in. It’s bitter sweet. Of course, I wanna be home and with my son, to see every new little thing he does, and to hold him in my arms, but I also love being here doing my job. I love this job. I'm learning that I can love...

Back to shooting my favorite show, Next in Fashion, and celebrating my son’s first Eid.

Every time I come here to write a new post, I wanna start it by saying “wow, what a week”. I guess every week has felt a little bit nuts over recent years, and it just never gets old. That’s a good thing. I love the excitement I still feel.

From London to LA, this weeks crazy press tour and hosting the Reunion for Selling Sunset.

When we last “spoke”, I had just arrived in London for my press tour for Beauty and the Bleach. It was such a great 3 day trip back home, but wow, it was so much work and I think my head's still spinning from it.

Getting ready for Next in Fashion, but not before a quick press trip to London.

You guys, Next in Fashion is starting so soon. We have had a bunch of pre-production meetings, that have gone so well, and are getting us so excited to just get started.

Took a quick trip to Nashville to shake up the CMT Awards, and what a night it was.

A few weeks ago, we (the Fab5) were asked if we would come to the CMT Awards to present Miranda Lambert with an award, because she wrote the song Y’all means All, for season 6 of QE. I’d never been to a country event before, and I really enjoy some country music (probably not surprising to you, but mostly female), so I thought what the heck,...

This week, work has me traveling to LA, but not before spending time with one of my favorite country singers.

Have you heard of the singer Yola? If not, you’re missing out, and you should make up for lost time as soon as possible. In all seriousness, she really is fantastic. I first met Yola a few months back, when I was invited to our mutual friend’s (Brandi Carlile) listening party, for her new album, at mine and Brandi’s mutual friend’s (Cour...

Finally got approval to build our dream home, and Spring is bringing us back to life.

Does anyone else feel like they’ve been reborn, when the Spring weather finally kicks in? The weather these past few days, here in Salt Lake, has been just gorgeous. It’s my very favorite time of the year. In my opinion, there’s nowhere prettier than Utah in the Spring.

Did I just find my favorite new vacay destination, and lose my virginity, all in one week?

Ok, now that, dear readers, is what we call clickbait. Hehehehe. Just kidding. I did, however have my very first experience of something, but I'm jumping the gun.

Gearing up for my Documentary launch, Designing Winter 2022 whilst trying to be a good husband and parent.

Do you ever get the feeling you’re failing at being a partner to your spouse, and/or as a parent? Frick me, I feel that so often lately. I’ve been feeling more and more guilty because my work is really getting busy again, now that the world seems to be setting the pandemic aside and playing catch up on the last couple of years. With that, it...
