Vote 1 Tim Gunn!

What’s not to love about Tim Gunn? He reminds me of a kinder gentler age, and the idea of a gentleman. Tim has been in DC this week, lobbying Congress about intellectual property rights legislation.

Apparently, when he met with Rep Lamar Smith on the issue, Smith asked him to give fashion critique for his staff. Who knew that the Republican from Texas with the very bad hair would plump for a private session with Tim?

According to Ann Schroeder on Politico:

The staff fared pretty well. "Small tweaks" were made -- a shorter skirt was one -- and the congressman replied, "Two inches?!" in shock. Gunn replied, "no just one." Another lucky female staffer was complimented on her grey skirt and sweater paired with a light brown belt. Gunn said, "This outfit is all about the belt and it works."

However, not everyone could receive high marks. One female staffer, sadly, was wearing capris and was told they are out of style. A male staffer was scolded and told to buy a properly fitting suit jacket. (Tsk!)

Tim also spoke with Politics Daily about (zzzzz) Michelle Obama's fashion sense among other things. You can see the video here.

I love Tim Gunn! You are right he is the epitome of class. Even when he critiques he does it with such flair and style. We need more Gunnies!
