Hey, it's something about Project Runway that doesn't involve injunctions and other rancid precipitation from this legal shitstorm.
A documentary about Runway Season 1 winner Jay McCarroll called Eleven Minutes has landed distribution from Here! Films, which also runs the Here! Network. As in "We're Here, We're Queer", etc. Don't really understand the link between high-end fashion design and homosexuality, but whatever. It's not like Jay McCarroll, Michael Kors, or Tim Gunn is gay.
Oh, speaking of Tim Gunn, we wonder if he and Jay are still talking trash; if you don't recall, a couple years back Gunn was publicly critical of McCarroll taking such a long time to get his first fashion show up, and McCarroll responded like this:
He’s having his heyday, but I also don’t think he’s an authority on any designer’s life. He went to school for sculpture or something. I don’t think that he’s ever, to my knowledge, started a fashion line and therefore should not be the adviser or the fuckin’ creative director … how dare you pretend to know what I should be doing with my company? It’s none of your business, dude — you’ve never started a fashion line. You’ve never initiated showing at Bryant Park on your own so don’t tell me what my time line is to show at fuckin’ Bryant Park. He doesn’t know what I want to do. Maybe I want to fuckin’ take a piss off the Empire State Building and call it fashion. But that’s my fuckin’ prerogative. I just hate that because middle America looks at him like, He’s so nice, he’s like a father to them. On the show he was, sure. I’m not bitter about the man. It’s kind of hurtful. At one point he said I was an embarrassment because I didn’t show yet. And it’s like, fuckin’-A, man. Maybe next season they can make Tim Gunn show a line. Five months. We’ll see how good it is. But don’t worry. I’ll be fine.
Meow! Hope Jay keeps talking in the documentary;even though we love Gunn, there's nothing better than a good catfight.
