Michael Knight at C.A.N. Fundraiser 2006-12-04 21:57:00
My mother and I attended the MichaelKnight
event in Atlanta (actually Norcross) GA last night. The event, which was a fundraiser for Cure Autism Now (C.A.N.) featured two other designers (unfortunately I don't have details about them), with Michael showing his collection last.
He showed men's and women's clothing, new items and also some of the collection that appears on his website (clothing and swimsuits). The event was held at The Grape, a wine bar located in The Forum shops. Michael wore an appropriately grape-colored sweater (cute!!) with a hot-pink tie, jeans and a pink and purple belt. After the show, Michael auctioned off an original gown (also purple!), which he crafted for his PR Season 2 audition. The dress sold for $500. Michael was just as sweet and friendly in person as he seemed on the show, and even cuter in person!

Click on the arrow below to see our unshorn Andrae's view on Season 3 (trousers!), profiling Santino ("Step aside") and a certain blogspot with "anything you could possibly know about Project Runway."
BPR loves BeverlyHillsPeople.com for the shoutout. But most of all, BPR loves Andrae. It can't be said enough; he isn't just our little lamb - he's everyone's little lamb.

Will He Stay Or Will He Go? 2006-12-08 19:55:00
The speculation surrounding Tim Gunn's future on Project Runway continues to grow. The
Entertainment Weekly story is out and contains these gems:
Gunn, who didn't return calls for comment, has skirted questions about his contract and salary.
Listen, Tim is a man of integrity above all else. He's not about to jeapordize contract negotiations, however his silence is telling. Then there's this:
A source close to Runway claims concerned fans are jumping the Gunn. ''We're confident the whole team will be back,'' says the source. ''We'll find a way to work around his schedule.''
How exactly do they plan to do that? It seems clear now that Weinstein/NBCUniversal/Bravo want to push Season 4 into production in early 2007. Do they think they can film the Tim segments strictly at nights and on weekends? Please.
Andy Denhart at Reality Blurred weighs in:
Hopefully, he's just playing hardball and demanding
the cheap-asses at Bravo
pay him what he's

loves Katy Gerdes! Here are more photos from Katy's appearance at the Weisman. I stood on the Washington Ave. bridge in below-zero wind chill to take the museum photo, and then proceeded to an incredibly warm welcome for Katy by her Minnesota fans.
She was very gracious with people, answering their questions, sharing her favorite PR memories, and letting people experience some of that PR excitement. Thanks, Katy! Nancy in Minnesota
