Project Tim Gunn

Here is a great story about a small world, the plus side of the power of the internet, and the combined powers of determination and visualization.

After eating at an Italian restaurant with a Polish waitress in NYC, we were browsing at a French store when we received a text from Kimmm (after a Facebook update) that Tim Gunn was heading to Stella McCartney's fashion week PETA event (not too far uptown from where we were).

We immediately hopped in a cab and went directly there. At the door Cindy was not going to be deterred by its being an invitation only party, and much to the surprise and delight of Groom and Ken, she was soon ushered inside. (It will come as no great surprise to anyone who knows him that Ken was able to talk his and Groom's way in, but this is out of character for Cindy.)

Emboldened by having clearly visualized meeting Mr. Gunn for quite some time leading up to this trip, not only did we get to be at the same party, but got the opportunity to meet him and snap this photo. He is as pleasant and gracious as you would expect him to be from watching Project Runway.

Tomorrow, due to a different Facebook connection, it looks like we will be attending the Perry Ellis runway show at Lincoln Center. We'll keep you posted!
