Tim Gunn is either...

[MonkeyFunk]

a virgin or a total leather bottom slut. I can't decide...

[The empressof all]

1. Oh Pleeeeze....

Tim Gunn is GOD.... Just accept it and move along. :hug:

[MonkeyFunk]

2. I just started watching "Runway" a couple weeks ago

and find myself oddly fascinated by Mr. Gunn.

[XemaSab]

3. I don't see anything ODD about your fascination...

He's the male version of the prim and proper librarian.... you're just left wondering. :9

[MonkeyFunk]

4. I picture

him in chaps and a harness, strung up in a sling, yelling "MAKE IT WORK!!"

[XemaSab]

7. Too funny...

The porn star name doesn't hurt either. :D

[Westegg]

20. Ha! Yeah. It's a hair's-breadth away...

...from "Dick Bullet" or somethin'...

Then again, so is "Tom Cruise."

[mitchum]

25. I once saw an old audition tape where he introduced himself as Tommy Cruise

chicken city

[Westegg]

46. "chicken city" then, maybe. But now?....

...HE RULES THE WORLD.

I am being facetious, of course. Tommy scares me.

[mitchum]

48. You're right; from chicken city to cock of the walk

[KitchenWitch]

11. I love the visual I got on that!

:evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

32. You think we watch that show for any other reason

Tim Gunn has that kind of strange appeal

Can you see him during sex?

"Now make it work, MAKE IT WORK, oh, oh ,oh it's working it's working, MAKE IT WORK BITCH damnit MAKE IT WORK"

[Felix Mala]

43. I only tune in to see the clothes at the :50 minute mark...

I think the show is fixed and I don't like getting emotionally involved in a fixed game.

[AlCzervik]

5. i love Tim.

"My Timmy" as he's referred to at my house.

[Parche]

6. who is tim gunn?

:shrug: :hi:

[AlCzervik]

8. welcome to my ignore list.

:evilgrin:

[Parche]

12. PFFFTTTT

:P :P :P :P :P :P

:hi:

[MonkeyFunk]

9. The Don of the gay Mafia

[Shakespeare]

15. I want him to adopt me.

I consider myself very fashion savvy, but I pretty much worship him.

[MANative]

10. He's a real hot ticket!

I had the pleasure of meeting him once when I was working for a major fashion company in NYC. Very charming, with the most impeccable taste!

[suninvited]

13. Tim Gunn is the BEST !!

I have been watching Project Runway since its inception, you will love the show !

[Zookeeper]

14. 'Don't know, don't care, but he has such wonderful composure...

he seems thoughtful, intelligent and kind. Tim is the best feature of Project Runway.

He was on The Daily Show recently and I was pleased to see that he also has a good sense of humor.

[TommyO]

23. Don't you mean "A Daily Show"?

[Zookeeper]

24. Oh yeah, "A" Daily Show.

Which I think has actually been doing pretty well without the writers.

[XemaSab]

16. Looks like he brought sexy back... who knew?

[mentalsolstice]

17. He's da man!

I recently got my husband to watch a couple of episodes of PR. However, we were watching while getting totally inebriated at Johnny Walker's (a dive bar off of Bourbon St., NOLA). I dunno if that had anything to do with his fascination.

[Shine]

18. "Make it work!"

I sincerely doubt he is a virgin. Just can't see it.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. well I can't see him wrinkling

his clothes, either.

[TommyO]

22. Well, leather doesn't wrinkle!

[JackBeck]

19. Fun Fact:

I work in the same building as "mood". Haven't seen Tim, yet. We love him, too, and for the record, most definitely power bottom.

[LynneSin]

33. I'm scared to ask what is meant by "power bottom"

:scared:

[LostinVA]

37. Oh my innocent sissie

A power bottom is a bottom who controls the top, aka topping from the bottom.

[LynneSin]

39. Well damnit - if you lesbians had only tried harder at that wedding

:cry:

I'm doomed to be straight aren't I?

[LostinVA]

40. Yes -- yes, you are

I don't think there was any way we could have tried harder at the wedding. There's no way you were staying with us in our jacuzzi suite at the hotel.

[LynneSin]

41. What - you fearful you'd catch the straights from me

:eyes:

[LostinVA]

42. No -- that's not quite it

[JackBeck]

38. Don't be scared...it's all good...

26. Project Runway

...is the first reality show I've ever watched, and this season is the first time. And it's amazing. I was surprised to see Mr. Manners on The Daily Show. I saw the divas yesterday... was that the only episode after denim? I missed last week.

I think Chris is going to win it. Christian in second place and Jillian? (the girl with curly hair who did the twizzlers skirt.)

what's a "power bottom?" I know what a bottom is... but the other part is beyond me.

I was held captive by two young children for a decade or so and missed anything that occurred in civilization. I was forced to listen to Raffi and watch Muppets Take Manhattan with toothpicks jacking open my eyelids. really. I've learned a lot since then... camel toe... and.. uh...ummmmm...
that's all I can name right now.:yoiks:

[suninvited]

34. You didnt miss one

Denim was episode 9 and the divas was episode 10.

I have picked the same top three you have, but I think Christian will take it with Chris in second and Jillian in third. But having watched the show all four years, it can SURE surprise you.

I still havent gotten over Kara Saun (sp?) taking second place in the first season.

[cmkramer]

27. Interview last year

He said he hasn't been in a relationship in 25 years.

[Missy Vixen]

29. cmkramer, I owe you a Coke!

I heard the same interview you did, evidently! :toast:

Tim's the greatest. He makes fashion (and style, elegance, and good manners,) accessible to all.

Julie

[cmkramer]

47. I like my Coke with a little lemon!

I love Tim Gunn. His relationship status is really a big WTF to me. You'd think a classy guy like that would be snapped up in a minute.

[Missy Vixen]

28. Actually, Mr. Gunn hasn't had a relationship for 24 years

according to an interview I read last year. He had a very bad scare with a former partner who died of AIDS, and has evidently not been involved since.

I hope that he will meet someone that he'll fall in love with. He's too wonderful to be alone. Of course, this is IMHO.

Julie

[MonkeyFunk]

30. aw

that's sad. :(

[xchrom]

31. oh -- god i love time gunn.

i'd do him -- sweetest -- most charming -- and he'd be one of the few i'd wanna have breakfast with -- cause you know the both the morning sex and the conversation would would be sparkling.

and i'm addicted to both tim gunn's guide to style and project runway.

[youthere]

35. Tim Gunn is my fashion messiah...thou shalt not blaspheme.

[AngryOldDem]

36. And then there's poor Michael Kors...

...upon viewing the WWL fashions, "I feel like the Pope in a sex club!"

:rofl:

[Missy Vixen]

44. Michael Kors BUGS on this show

Honest to God. What did he think the challenge was going to be like?

I would LOVE to see Mr. Kors step up to the plate and make a garment out of trash, candy wrappers, Spandex, or any of the other ridiculous challenges they've had this season. I don't think he could do it, frankly.

In the meantime, every second they're focusing on him is one more second we're not getting the divine Tim Gunn.

Julie

[AngryOldDem]

49. That is what is beginning to BUG me about PR.

The challenges are getting ridiculous, and the time restraints the designers are being put under are equally so. In past seasons, the wackier projects were at least tasteful and practical -- I'm thinking of (off the top of my head) the live flower challenge (there were some beautiful dresses there) and the Sasha Cohen figure skating costume challenge (and the postal service challenge in Season 1).

This season we get candy-bar wrappers and cartoon clothing, and someone -- was it Kors or Garcia? -- has the nerve to point out that one designer's costume did look cartoony. Well, what did they expect? If I were the designers, I would be feeling pretty insulted.

I still watch it but only if I happen to have Bravo on when it's on. I liked PR a lot up until this season, but a lot is beginning to really rub me the wrong way. This crop of designers (with the exception of Chris) is really irritating -- I'm just glad they were able to keep Tim Gunn for one more go-round. But since he's got his own gig now with a design house (forget which one, but he's no longer at Parsons School, from what I've heard) and plus his own show, I jsut wonder how much longer they'll be able to keep him.

I agree with you -- Kors has always struck me as being too smug and way too impressed with himself.

(But I will probably make a point to watch next week, because I think Christian is heading for a big smackdown.)

ON EDIT: I believe Tim now has a position at Liz Claiborne. It just came to me after I posted.

[WolverineDG]

45. I hate Michael Kors

with a purple passion. Like another poster said, if he thinks it's so easy, let's see him do it (instead of ripping a designer a new one & then stealing their designs for his next collection).

Case in point: this year, they dissed Chris for having an out-of-date design, yet I went to a fancy-schmancy dinner a few days later & not one, not two, but THREE women were wearing the same neckline & similarly designed dress.

[AngryAmish]

50. I love Tim Gunn

I really don't like PW but my wife watches.

I think his secret is competence. What guy on TV is portrayed as competent anymore? Not too many. He just seems to be a smart guy who knows what he is doing (and isn't that kinda power bottom territory?)

Plus the guy oozes class and grace.
