Happy birthday to the fabulous Tim Gunn!
My older daughter loves Project Runway, and I told her, you know, Christian Siriano was once a Project Runway contestant and he won. She immediately wanted to watch his season and we finished season 4 last night. And a young Tim Gunn fan was made!
I always love how he showed compassion for the designers and asked questions to make them think critically about their work rather than tell them what to do. I often tried to do the same in writing instruction, using Tim as inspiration. When I read about how he advocated for the designers against the horrible contract the Weinstein company roped them into and refused to come back to the show unless it was changed, my respect was cemented.
Wishing this amazing teacher and human a fabulous birthday and many more!
