A Senryu For Tim Gunn

Designer's mentor

Project runway diplomat 

He makes gay look good

Author's Note

Believe it or not I'm a huge fan of project runway. My girlfriend turned me on to the show and I've been hooked ever since. (My girl's a hair stylist so fashion's kind of her thing) The show had a big impact on me in how I look at women. Rather than looking at them strictly sexually as i used to, I look at what they're wearing and how they're accessorizing first, then I shift to the sexual lens. A daily change in perception because of Project Runway. Tim Gunn, as the designers mentor is a brilliant combination of fun, wisdom, diplomacy, warmth and at times tough love only the androgynous personality of a gay man could pull off. As Tim Gunn says "make it work" and he definitely makes project runway work. They should bring back Micheal Kors though. He was great with the one liners.

It is said clothes should be a little tighter and not baggy to keep the muscle tone, lol Surprised myself at how I remembered that...x

You are a man with great knowledge. I have three Televisions. One for wife shows and one for my sports and occasional movie. Of course one for the Grand kids cartoons. I got older and more grumpy. I can take the cartoons. No soap opera of any kind. A interesting topic.

I was trying to imagine you and Tim Gunn together...now that's poetic. :)

[Baby Ricochet]

He'd love me.

[Frieda P]

He'd tell you to eat a steak and put some clothes on, the kind that make you uncomfortable...

[Baby Ricochet]

I want some steak now.

[Frieda P]

I swear I'm gonna make you a pot roast....

I have never watched Project Runway, and I often dress for comfort... But I like this quirky little tribute!

Thank you Rita

Heard of Gunn from a few friends of mine claiming he's changed their views in a way similar to how he has affected yours; I must say, despite having never seen neither lick nor hide of project runway, his show seems to have a positive impact.

I've watcheed Project runway only a couple of times, but my daughter likes it a lot. She's oipressed with the way people can pull together outfits to meet a deadline.

I still prefer to dress for comfort.
