I don't think SD would have been all that impressed by the Fab 5.

I can't help but look at them more critically, 'coz if they're going to be doling out fashion advice, then I think they ought to be dressed to the nines. O'course, I'm just applying my rather more conservative standards; I got a chuckle out of Conrad's shirt, something crazy Uncle Bob would wear. I know, I know: gay urban chic.

It's funny because I'll take Lyle McDonald's advice on weight training technique, nutrition, and building muscle any day of the week, even though he describes himself as a former "fat fuck" and doesn't look, today, like Ahhnold--and never will. Maybe that's because there is a science behind Lyle's domain of expertise whereas there is none to support the Fab 5s advice?

Dunno.
