I have never watched Project Runway before and ended up watching the last few shows (when they got down to the final 4) this weekend. I can't believe that Jeffrey won (and I just hate the phrase "good tv!"). Who wears this crap?

Weellllll, I sort of agree Roxi, but they were looking for fashion innovation. I loved Laura's things, but when I was at the mall the other day going through the formal section, I saw numerous things that were similar to her designs. I really loved Uli's things also, but nothing was that different from what you can already buy. And of course Michael's collection was horrible. So I can see it, from that perspective.

I know, I know. I realize I'm horribly pedestrian, but I truly don't enjoy seeing the "high fashion" clothes. They are way too bizarre for me!

Project Runway's Laura Bennett welcoming a baby boy named Finn on Friday, People reports. It's the fifth boy and sixth child for the aspiring designer.

Slightly OT, a few weeks ago I was in New York and we had gone into Saks to look around. We found a section of clothes by "Chloe" (around the 4th or 5th floor). Does anyone know if this is Chloe from Season Two?

Awww, I like the name Finn! I don't know it's origin, but I think it's really cute!

Lexie - Chloe is a French clothing company. Karl Lagerfeld designed for them for many years in the 60's and 70's and did a short stint with them in the mid-90's. Then Stella McCartney designed for them for a few years. Not sure who is designing for them now. Maybe someone else here knows the answer to that.

Maybe she watched Grey's Anatomy and had the hots for the vet.

I just found out an interesting tidbit about Season One's winner Jay McCarroll. Now granted, you may all already know this, but since I didn't watch Season One, I'm even slower than usual to some info. Anyway, many of you probably know of my history of interest/participation in the marching/pageantry arts. Namely drum and bugle corps and winter guard. I just found an article in the Winter Guard International on line magazine with an interview with Jay. Turns out he was a member of a winter guard, and he designed flags and costumes for winter guard. See the article/interview HERE. There's even a link to a video clip of him performing with his guard in 1994. The guard he performed with was called Field of View. Now I really wish I'd watched Season One!

I'm sure this was discussed when this first aired on Bravo, but the final finally aired here and even though I know Jeffrey was the winner I was disappointed. I think Laura was right he had help. From all we saw of the volatile rude Jeffrey all season I expect that had he not had help he would have responded to the accusation alot more vehemently than he did. He seemed so passive about it like he didn't want to draw to much attention to the accusation, hoping it would just go away. jmo

looks like Bravo is going to try to work around his schedule Project Runway producers will "find a way to work around [Tim Gunn's] schedule" Tim Gunn isn't signed for Project Runway 4, which can't be filmed at Parsons until June Will the as-yet-unnanounced Project Runway 4 be filmed without its breakout star, Tim Gunn? That’s been the speculation ever since Tim talked to Maureen Ryan at The Chicago Tribune and said he hadn’t been signed for the next season. He also added, “Parsons pays my bills.” Entertainment Weekly quotes that line (without attribution, for shame), but gets “a source close to” the show to say, “We’re confident the whole team will be back. We’ll find a way to work around his schedule.” The magazine also reports that “contracts are in place for hostess Heidi Klum and judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors.” People quotes a Weinstein Company spokesperson on the record, who says basically the same thing. “As we have in past seasons, we will find a way to work around everyone’s schedules, and are confident the team will be back,” Sarah Rothman said. That does suggest they’re considering taping sooner than next summer, when Parsons would be available for production. Then again, the show has not yet even begun casting. Perhaps the most upsetting part about this is that, as Entertainment Weekly reported, Tim “didn’t return calls for comment,” which could fuel speculation that he’s not returning. Hopefully, he’s just playing hardball and demanding the cheap-asses at Bravo pay him what he’s worth. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv /archives/project_runway_4/2006_Dec_07_tim_gunn_speculation

Either that, Mocha, or his people are using the press to get a bigger contract. Not saying that's what is happening here, but I've seen it before. My guess? He'll be back.

The EW article made it seem like he will be back. I agree Yankee, his PR ppl know he is the true star of the show, wouldnt be same without him...I could see the show without Heidi or the other judges(who I do adore) but not without him

My daughter goes to school in Chicago and works at House of Blues. She called me after she got off work last night and she was about to explode. She met Snoop Dogg...cool but not what she was excited about. The big thrill of the night was that she met Jeffrey and they talked quite a bit. She said he was really cool and told her he liked her hair (it's blonde with pink and teal hilights and her shoes. He said that he was friends with Santino before either of them got on the show. Tim Gunn is super cool but "His opinion doesn't matter". He also said that Laura was a *****. He didn't talk about anyone else that he had been on the show with. He made my girlie very happy!

I wonder what Jeffrey was doing in Chicago? I thought he was based out of California somewhere. Of course they all seem to travel around quite a bit and he must have to do a lot of marketing at the major retail centers.

I didn't think to ask her if she knew what he was doing there. Next time I talk to her I'll try to find out He was there with some friends, so maybe he was there for the holiday's.
