bironicWhich meant that yesterday I got to sit less than twenty feet away from him. Times like these, it's nice to have a ritzy mall within easy driving distance so Tim Gunn can come to co-host runway events during Fashion Week. Happiness.
Having RSVP'd meant that we (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deelaundry came along to see what the fuss is about) got seats, while others gathered behind the roped-off chairs and along the surrounding balconies. They had a better view of the models since the runway was on the floor rather than on a platform, but they were not sitting twenty feet from my future gay husband, so. Tradeoff.
Forthewlisian_afer and other Tim Gunn fans, here are a few more with funny faces and somesuch.
Highlights included:
- Mangled but sincere happy new year wishes ("S'shana tova").
- Joy the Aussie model flirting nonverbally with him, making exaggerated faces whenever he adjusted her clothes as he and the other co-host demonstrated how to "deconstruct" a dress for work or eveningwear.
- On man-scarves: "It's… a look."
- A story about why there are certain looks you will never see on him, one being man-scarves and another being pocket squares. He said he'll lay out a suit on his bed, tuck a square in the breast pocket and think, "Huh, that looks nice." Then he'll put it on, look in the mirror and think, "I look like an ass." He said he has to take the square out or else he'd go around all day with a little demon in his pocket whispering, "You look like an ass, you look like an ass."
In an answer to someone else during a Q&A after the show, I found out that since "Bravo is currently not speaking to" him, there is, alas, no chance of being on his Guide to Style. Guess I will have to make do with squid shirts and one well-fitting button-down and this adorable messenger bag I forgot to saysynn brought me last weekend.
