BREAKING NEWS!!

Friday, June 28th, 2013

So, everyone, do you remember my friend, the unique and fabulous Timothy Westbrook? Well, now he’s on Project Runway Season 12!!! After his amazing Artist In Residence position at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, WI, he applied, auditioned and won one of the coveted 16 slots on Project Runway. If you’ve read my other posts, you’ll know Timothy can make anything out of anything, even “garbage”, which is exactly what Project Runway is all about.( I think he’ll really rock at the unconventional challenge, which my research shows may have taken place at Coney Island! Considering his skills at repurposing, I can’t wait to see what he’s done.) I imagine Tim Gunn was a huge fan of his repurposed and recycled aesthetic, which is great because during the season Tim Gunn will have an opportunity to save one designer from elimination. How cool is that? Remember, fashionistas, the premiere is July 18th at 9/8c.
