Tim Gunn, comic book hero!

Tim Gunn: Comic crimefighter against fashion evils

By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL, AP Fashion Writer Samantha Critchell - NEW YORK – Tim Gunn is taking his fight against fashion crimes from the workrooms of "Project Runway" to the pages of a comic book. And, wow, does he get to wear a power suit.

The "Loaded Gunn" story line — to save an exhibit of extraordinary superhero clothes from a cadre of villains — is part of a book that reintroduces a group of Marvel's high-fashion "Models Inc." comic characters from the 1960s.

"It's a little `America's Next Top Model' — without Tyra (Banks) — and a little `Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,'" says Marvel editor Charlie Beckerman.

The Gunn project evolved on a whim, but it turned out Gunn was a childhood comic fan and a good sport, Beckerman says.

Gunn says the experience has been "the most bizarre thing."

"It's exciting and exhilarating, but bizarre. When they came to me, I said, `I'm about to turn 56 years old. Are they crazy?' But it kept revealing itself in layers and next thing, I'm wearing the `Iron Man' suit. I was dumbstruck."

Personally, Gunn says he always fancied himself more of a Batman type, but he's pleased with the result.

"Most superheroes are fighting the same thing — good vs. evil — but who's taking on crimes against fashion? Me!"

The biggest offense, hands down: clothes that don't fit properly, Gunn says. And, if he had the truly incredible power to remove one item from closets all around the world, no question it would be Crocs.

"It's the No. 1 fashion crime item — and I see it a lot," Gunn says.

from watching models of the runway too, it looks like there's at least one left there! fatma seems like a biiiiiiiiiitch!

BonoFox1 · 09-05-2009, 01:36 AM

DAMN!! I am SO GLAD that idot got eliminated Mitchell was his name right?

HE SUCKED!!

I HATE FATMA!!

**KhanadaRhodes** · 09-05-2009, 02:37 AM

yes! i was glad to see mitchell go too. i almost forgot about that!

i absolutely loved that outfit he made (though really he had his teammate do all the work), but between that and him making two shitty outfits the past two weeks, he needed to go.

personally i'm surprised fatma got picked given they said all the designers know about her drama, but it wouldn't surprise me if the producers are keeping her on for that reason. there's been designers in past seasons (wendy pepper, anyone?) who were horrid and bitchy yet kept squeaking by week after week.

aww yay! i'm glad they picked the winner they did. the top three designs were all amazing. usually i'm always

over one of the top three, but i liked all three this time.

the loser of this challenge...wow. that was just one ugly design.

Lila64 · 09-11-2009, 01:51 AM

I have to agree with you Khan

BonoFox1 · 09-11-2009, 10:21 AM

I didnt very much like the winning design this week, I thought a couple of others were cute but I do agree that they made the right choice for the losing design, I was worried about Crystal since she made that horrid purple/floral dress

I didnt get to see the eliminated model (had to run an errand) so I'll look for the re-runs today

**KhanadaRhodes** · 10-01-2009, 10:01 PM

omg, it was so heartbreaking to see

I take it you are happy about the elimination

What about the hefty cinch sack dress?

**KhanadaRhodes** · 10-09-2009, 04:12 AM

yes.
and i would've liked it had he not put that other fabric on top! it would've been a nice simple dress with the black and the little belt.
