I met Tim Gunn!

My sister just sent me an autographed copy of Tim's new book, and though I've only read the 1st chapter, it's just as nice, knowledgeable, and witty as you'd expect from Tim - a real treat! Thanks Tim - and Chris!
 
Thanks for all the nice comments, you guys!

Linn, it is indeed the same format/event presentation, and I imagine it will be packed at that location. El Paseo Village is a bit more off the radar, so I was able to arrive early, and get that seat. The event of course, is open to the public, while purchases needed to be made, to secure the VIP signing/picture party. This included delicious adult libations, and yummy food on trays, from the El Paseo restaurants, which I very much enjoyed.

I wore my Trina Turk dress, and received a number of compliments, including from Tim and Leah. We discussed whether I might also purchase the dress in red, and Tim's advice, which he gave during the Q & A, is always to try things on. He also feels that red dresses can be problematic, especially in terms of accessories, and I was telling them that it was more of an orange red, which I thought would actually look great on Leah. And then, since I am still talking about my Claire McCardell monastic, I mentioned that I had three McCardells, and Tim was fairly incredulous, especially when he learned where I'd found them. I arranged to email photos (via Leah), as I would like him to see it, and to have his thoughts about it. It is so refreshing to meet people who speak the language of fashion!

I was really happy I attended, as it was a wonderfully uplifting afternoon, with perfect weather. Tim radiates such a positive energy!

Here is the Trina Turk dress in cardinal red


Carrie, I am so glad you like your 'new' squirrel pants! I hope you'll have a blast wearing them! Thank you for letting me know.
 
Julie-

Sounds like you had a fabulous time and a great conversation with Tim (and Leah.) Lots of coverage in the Honolulu paper about the event tomorrow. This article was in yesterday's paper:

I am not going to go - would if it were a different venue but it will be mobbed - especially since one of this season's contestants - Andy South from Hawaii is big news. (I don't get the channel so watch PR on Netflix and am years behind - LOL.)

I just finished Tim Gunn's first book. I highly recommend it.

Linn
