SAN DIEGO -- Jai Rodriguez, the culture guru from Bravo’s former hit show “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,” will once again be in the center of a cultural collision when he gives a guest performance as Chita Parol in “Chico’s Angels 2: Love Boat Chicas.”

During the San Diego run of the show, Rodriguez will play the sassy, street smart Chita Parol. The show is a cross between the classic 1970s television shows “The Love Boat” and “Charlie’s Angels,” with the added twist of the shows stars being much like the Latino Three Stooges in drag.
