Una LaMarche: An Interview With The Project Runway Finalists

The morning of the interview I was dismayed to find that I had nothing clean in my closet except for a pair of black jeans and an Old Navy tee-shirt. I hoped the finalists wouldn't judge my garments as harshly as I've judged theirs.

Gunn is such a lovely and elegant man. It's a pleasure to also hear his views on the fashion scene's admiration of the perpetually skeletal models. I wish he still had time to do his old show, I do miss his feedback...

He's so smart and elegant. Love that he's speaking out on this issue. It seems that lately the industry is making an effort to change the heroine chic model image.

Tim Gunn is always a gentleman, gracious, and funny. He comes across as a very likable person. Grace and manners are a thing of the past in our country......and that is a real shame.

It seems now that the more crude you are.....the more cool you become to the youngsters. I am 63 and was standing in the checkout line at Target and 2 young men around 20-22 were behind me using the F word every other word. They seemed shocked when I asked them to please watch their language....but they did. Sometimes we just have to call folks out on their bad behavior. And the young girls are just as bad if not worse....

He is right about the super skinny models send the wrong message to young women.

But Tim, honey, I love you, but you and Heidi hired those sticks that wear the duds on Project Runway...

Slim is fine but these are mere sticks...
