Tim joined us for breakfast while we were in NYC for the Season 13 finale show and answered a few questions. Thanks Tim! A highlight:BPR: Which finale collection surprised you the most?
TG: To be perfectly honest...I would have known which designer designed which collection even if they were not identified.
BPR: How long did the judges deliberate after the finale?
TG: Very very long. Hours. The Q&A was very lengthy.
BPR: After you saw the collections, did you wish that you had another save?
TG: No.
BPR: Did you have a dry suit backstage, just in case...?
TG: Yes. I was prepared. Click here for the full interview.

Tim graciously joined our family for breakfast yesterday as we wrapped up a vacation in NYC.
Of course, my first question was about the Project Runway Season 12 promotional poster.
I wondered who came up with the concept and especially, "What is the message?" that it sends.
BPR: Tim, right off the bat, I have to ask you about the poster...
TG: Did you hear that it is banned in LA?
BPR: Yes!
TG: Have you actually seen the poster?
BPR: Only online, I haven't seen it up on a billboard or bus stop anywhere. Have you?
TG: No. I haven't seen it anywhere.
BPR: Well it is certainly getting a lot of attention.
TG: And I think that was the intent - to be provocative.
BPR: Whose idea was this? Heidi's?
TG: Lifetime.
BPR: ....and what is the message?
TG: It is quasi-allegorical. Heidi is a Marie Antoinette character...
BPR: And what about you?
TG: Well, originally they wanted me to dress up like Louis XVI. They wanted to paint my nails black and put kohl around my eyes - sort of like a french vampire. But honestly I had thirty minutes and there just wasn't enough time. The photographer's studio was about a 30-minute drive from the set and I had a schedule to keep.
BPR: Were the models actually there with you or were they added later?
TG: Oh they were there, they were all there ready to go, and finally we decided that I would just wear the suit and Heidi was on her throne and the photographer was moving the models - a little this way, to the left, to the right, higher, lower, adjusting the lights and it was just ridiculous.
Finally someone suggested that they just get the photo with the stage and Heidi and I and add the models later - so that is what they finally did. So, yes, in the end it was photoshopped!

Tim very graciously joined Jen and I for breakfast on Saturday. (Tbone and The Scarlett were able to get out of NYC ahead of the big storm....)
Of course we talked about Project Runway!
Tim has a way of sharing just enough to keep us intrigued without revealing too much.
BPR: Tim, how is your role of "producer" different from what you always did as the "mentor?"
TG: Honestly? It really is no different...but have you noticed that I am now credited as "co-host?"
BPR: no....errrr.... (gasp of realization) Wait. Does this mean that your name might be submitted to the Emmy Award Committee in the "Outstanding Host for a Reality Show" category?
TG: We'll see...
