I'm really excited to see you again in the reunion episode!

Nick,
You did such an amazing job on Project Runway and that's how we fell in love with you and your work! We are not disappointed at all, we are just sad that you didn't make it as far as you deserved. I'm sure you know how many fans there are out there. You are everyone's favorite!!
Regarding the episode 10, you're right, at least your design was finished! It wasn't falling apart like Santino's!!
Tarah was amazing. You and her seemed to be the perfect team! We all saw the connection you've had with her. We adored her as well!
oh and Nick you could totally be a model! You've got it all! Superb talent, looks, great personality!
We cannot wait to see more of your future work. We just CANNOT! God Bless.

This is the second "fan letter" I've ever written. The first one, I wrote when I was 7 to a local DJ named Debbie McFadden. I figured that since I've grown out of my awkward phase, perhaps I should leave fan mail in the past. But I stumbled upon your blog, I think you're fantastic AND I have the opportunity to comment... so why the hell not? You and Chloe were my top picks from day one. Before the 2nd season aired, my equally obsessed friends and I watched the special online stuff, and we fell in love with you. But don't worry... it wasn't in a creepy, "we're going to leaf through your trash to find an old tissue" way, it was more of a "How is this the loveliest man ever" kind of way.
Congrats on your success, and your creation of beautiful garments, and your being sassy to boot.
When I'm rich and famous (I give it 3 years tops) I will be heading your way for my dresses. And 10 years after that, when I hit rock bottom after years of alcohol abuse and overspending, I'll be heading your way for a little bit of cash and a place to sleep for a few days... I'll be out in a week, I swear... and I'll totally pay you back.
Long story short...
you rock... you rock like a parked fan on prom night... and you know how kids are nowadays.
Damn, why you? You were soooooo robbed by Sanpeno(hehee). You did a great job and I have no doubt your own line will RAWK!!! The best to you and and can't wait to see you at the reunion! Cheers love!
nick, when i saw your Exit episode, i felt like a crime was committed against my best friend. that's how much i was rooting for you! i wrote an article on your likeability factor. i find your maturity and kind-hearted method of living very admirable. thank you for setting a great example for those of us at home viewing the show. i hope i can interview you in person at some point!

You totally rock, Nick! Wonderful exit interview. I only wish I was rich enough, young enough, and thin enough to have you design something for me!
Honestly, I can't imagine you interning any where (even BR). You are so beyond that.

I am so upset that Santino went orward and you didn't. Santino deserved to go. So glad you are getting recognition! I would wear your designs any day!
Nick, you rock! I'm sure that the fashion Gods will smile upon you. Everybody knows Santino should have been knocked off in that challenge. My PR wednesdays nights will not be as much fun without you on the show, but at least the reunion show will be aired. Be well! -Chuck
I just caught a PR marathon and was so sad you got the boot! You were so robbed. I miss you on there! You are a sweetheart, you sing great, and you always made me smile. :) I loved the Barbie dress. Congrats on the SAG awards red carpet gown! I can't wait to see what you do in the future...I know it will be fabulous! Best of luck to you. xxoo

Nick, Oh my God, you're famous. ¡Felicitaciones! I'm so sorry I didn't know about the show, but it looks like I'm the only one! Even all of my daughter's 15 year old friends know you. They LOVED your Barbie design. Anyway, I caught a few episodes during the marathon this weekend, and can I just say, "Wow." You are amazing. Tienes una presencia increible. Actually, it was one of our Mills friends who tipped me off. I couldn't be happier for you. You deserve it all! Do you remember driving across the bridge to Stargaze in Leslie's boat? It seems like a million years ago, but I'm so fond of everything Nick. Your parents must be so proud, but I'm sure NOT SURPRISED. Congratulations! Love, Sara

I L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E your work!!! You are by far and away the best designer of both seasons of Project Runway. You should have investors throwing money at you to kick off your own line and be at Fashion week soon. I'm proud of you and I don't even know you, so feel good about the work you did and the impression you made across America.
I just watched the finale shows and they're lack luster without you showing your own collection. When they were letting the finalist pick designers to help them I just kept yelling "Nick, Nick" I just couldn't wait to watch you working again. There's a reason you were chosen first. You're the best!
I can't wait to see what you do next. I'll be looking for you!

Nick, Thanks for a show that made my wife and I look forward to TV on Wed night. We haven't felt this excited about a program in years. Your words when eliminated touched me. You talked about your Dad saying to your Mom that they'd be proud of you. Lucky man. I cry everytime I hear it, I've seen the ep 10 times and it still tears me up,(I'm crying as I write this) I'm straight,40, married to a middle school teacher, great 7 yr old son, and my parents look down on me with such disdain, because we chose for me to be a stay-at-home Dad. (SE Texas- go figure) And as depressing as it is to think about, I can't help but feel good about a world that has progressed to the point that a gay man's parents can be proud of him.
Much love Nick, and good luck.
You should have been one of the final three.
Angelo
