I'm very pleased to share the news that Tim Gunn has signed a deal with Bravo to bring his fashion expertise to his very own makeover show. The program will be based around his upcoming book, Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style (set for May release). Gunn has promised to use the program to re-define "makeovers", which sounds like a pretty bold statement to make. But, then again, this is the all-mighty Tim Gunn. I have no reason to doubt the man. All hail Tim Gunn.While this is all lovely, I can't help but feel a wee bit bad that this announcement was made just as Bravo canceled their hit makeover program Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (which was fantastic, but eventually exhausted). Looks like Gunn has to fill five very flamboyant shoes as Bravo's new makeover guy.
Gunn's presence in the next season of Project Runway still has yet to be confirmed, but at least we know that the worst case scenario will be that he'll only be on one program, not two.

If Tim Gunn isn't available for "Project Runway," I think they should just have Santino play Tim Gunn.

They cancelled Queer Eye on Bravo, but it now can been seen on NBC EVERY afternoon!
As for Tim, I'm not sure how good he'll be at his own show. He's so darn good on PR, that I can't picture him doing his own thing.

Dear Tim:
In the event that you're reading this shlock, I mistakenly posted my thoughts about you under the comments re: Jeffrey. Please read #49 there, my most heartfelt fan letter about you. An inspiration, you are!
