Meeting Tim Gunn (yummy!)
TG:That is a fabulous cardigan! (Fingering it) What’s the label?
S: (Crap! Who is it by? No offense Target, but I hope I’m not wearing Merona today) Thank you. I can’t remember.
TG: Do you mind if I look?
S: (breaking a sweat – I think I remember getting this at Macy*s. Boston Store?)
And with that he went to my side and stuck his hand down my back while he fished around for the tag.
TG: Laura Ashley!
S: Not a floral to be found on it.
TG: And that’s a good thing.
I think those commercials with Martha Stewart are influencing him.
But aside from being a total label wh0re, WYSIWYG. This impeccably dressed man is exactly as portrayed on TV. Tall & handsome, he almost looks like a work of art. He is so congenial too.
I asked him how he happened into the field of fashion, and he said,
“I actually thought I was going to be many other things when I grew up.”
He went through quite a list of jobs, but dreaming of being a pianist and architect came up multiple times. Isn’t it funny how life can bring us around to doing things we’d never dreamed of? He just seems so perfect as a spokesperson.
Yes, these are actually Tim Gunn trading cards this woman’s husband made for her. And Tim signed them.
Mr. Gunn’s appearance was made possible by Tide®, but the all® fairies (competition) took advantage and were spotted handing out samples of product and chocolate stars.
Thanks for sharing this useful information! Hope that you will continue with the kind of stuff you are doing.
