At 5/4/08, I met Tim Gunn at a book signing. I went over, shook his hand, and gush about how I was looking forward to the next season. The man gave me goosebumps!

I am so gay for Tim Gunn. The guy's owlish face and studied stare convey a dignified critique that any teacher could envy. His evaluative style makes reproaches seem like kind coaching. Even a straight guy can fall in love with Tim. More importantly, he can get me to watch an otherwise stupid show about women's fashions, the new Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.

A nerd, yes. But also an even rarer commodity on TV... a gentleman.
