Tim Says
While I wait, rather impatiently, for the next season of Project Runway to begin later this year, I am getting my Tim Gunn fix. His new show, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, premiered last week on Bravo. Just like Tim, the show is tasteful and chic. There's nothing extreme about the way he and sidekick Veronica Webb approach makeovers. The first participant would never have been selected for, say, What Not to Wear. But I don't watch for the transformations alone; I watch for the Tim Gunnisms. Here were a few of my favorites:We can't want you to succeed more than you do.
I'm feeling worried.
It was horrifying.
I'm feeling woeful.
This is a whole lotta nasty.
This looks like a shaved hamster.
You don't get that muffin top with these.
It looks like you're going to a luau.

I have never watched Project Runway (I know - for shame!), but did catch an episode of TGGtS recently. I heart Tim Gunn. Right away, I was hooked on him - just one episode did it! You are so right to collect "Gunnisms" ... I will look out for them in the future as well! (Did you catch his reaction to leggings? I wish I had written that one down - priceless!)
Oh yes - he was horrified at Veronica's suggestion of pairing a dress with leggings. But ever the gentleman:
"I'm sorry Veronica, I adore you. That was a purely visceral reaction."
