Fashion Prom Couple!
All Smiles at 9 AM: Tim Gunn and Nick Verreos at Season 8 Project Runway LA Castings
Last week, I had the pleasure of judging--for SIXTH SEASON IN A ROW!!!!--the Castings for
Project Runway, Season 8. The producers of the show have been scouring the country for the next Top American Fashion Designer and they have gone to NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta...
and last week was the final Los Angeles Casting at the
Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. Casting Executives "preselected" from thousands and thousands of applications and their picks were the ones that we, the Casting Judges, saw at these sessions. Approximately 50 designers--mostly from California--representing cities (sounds like a Miss USA!) such as San Francisco, San Diego, Palm Springs, and the Los Angeles area of course, came to this final round of casting.
I was so happy to be reunited with
Tim Gunn. It's always so wonderful to spend time with Tim since our schedules are so crazy--especially his--that we don't get to see each other much.

I was also especially excited to see Miss
Zoe Glassner, Senior Shopping Editor at
Marie Claire, whom I've also had the pleasure of judging past Project Runway castings with. We had a great time seeing all the designers and we scrutinized every seam, every unnecessary ruffle and bow, and every wonky--and not-so wonky hem!

Maybe since it was "the end of the road-trip" for them--Zoe and Tim had NO PATIENCE for "I just wanna do this as a hobby..." and the "I Hate to sew and CANNOT draw...but I wanna be a fashion designer" nonsense--and trust me, they would let them "have it". Sometimes, I was the
Paula Abdul of the group--or shall I say the
Ellen DeGeneres--
with my "What Tim and Zoe are trying to say is..."LOL! But all in all, even Tim remarked that
we may have found one of the "Best" of the entire Season 8 Casting process, here in LA. Well, we shall soon see!

I wanna know the feed back from the casting... I was extremely nervous to come in and see you all sitting there, it was so surreal... I think I was so nervous that I didn't know half the thing I was saying LOL.
