Oh, the timeliness of it all! Just as Bravo's token gay brainchild that is Project Runwaydraws to a close this week, the webs are alive with sightings and outtakes of queen minstrel Tim Gunn, so we thought we'd give you this quick roundup of all things sad and marvelous featuring the white-haired wonder himself. Come on, you know you'll miss him!
It all started Friday with this Gawker Stalker item, the lede being "Tim Gunn is Sad." It seems little Tim was spotted alone and bereft-seeming at Upper East Side sugar daddy/hustler lounge The Townhouse. When the spotter tried approaching him for some friendly starfuckery, Herr Gunn simply mouthed, "Go away." We can't vouch for the classiness/classlessness of the approach, or if there was a cocktail napkin autograph demand involved, but the image remains oddly haunting.
Scratching our heads, we give you to Exhibit B: this photo, taken the very same evening, of Tim getting friendly with glass closet princess Anderson Cooper at a charity event. (Also pictured, John Bartlett and Simon Doonan, click to enlarge.)
If we had to guess, Anderson probably represents the sort of dream date that just might bring Tim out of his tower of celibacy for one last go at the love game. So sure, it's conjecture, but perhaps Tim was trying to drink off his sorrow at having no shot at Anderson (because he seems to go for younger guys) and had no patience for small talk with fans on Thursday evening.
Then! miracle of miracles, this little outtake clip ascended about the blogosphere like a Tim Gunn from the ashes, in which Tim is shown doing a modelicious walk-off with likely Project Runway winner Christian Siriano on the roof of that Atlas condominium building where they shot parts of the show. In the clip, chided for his walk's decided un-fierceness, our polysyllabic minstrel finds himself suddenly at a loss for words, and at the mercy of Heidi Klum's bizarre tickle torture. Leave it to Heidi to tickle those blues away!
