First, don't miss the latest episode of the "Adventures of Nick Verreos." When does he sleep? Canadian viewers can see Nick on Project Runway Canada tonight. We will post a link asap.

Next, Bravotv.com has organized the Rethink Design page and it is featuring blogs from several of our favorite designers from past seasons of Project Runway.

Still no "Tim's Take" though - more on that a little later.

Here is a fabulous new interview with Christian Siriano from Junk Mag.

One of Keith Michael's designs is featured in Black Book's gift guide.

Now this is cute! Romantic holiday shopping with Heidi Klum on USAToday's Celebwatch.

Speaking of Heidi, don't forget that she is at the Paley Center for Media tomorrow night along with several designers and producers. You can submit your questions for Heidi to Kristin here. She is a television columnist for E! Online, and moderator of the event.
What would YOU like to ask Heidi? Thanks Kathryn.

Rie Reports from the Keith Michael Show

Wow, what a fun-filled day Wednesday, the 12th was!! First, my friend, Travis, and I attended Malan Breton’s show and met Emmett McCarthy as well as the fabulous Laura K!! Later that night, we headed over to the West Chelsea club, Cain, for Keith Michael’s show. Getting there a little early, we were able to see Keith’s family arrive. His mother, Cindy, who looked absolutely radiant, stepfather, and sister, Sarah, were just a few of the relatives and close friends there to support him. When Keith saw his mother step out of the taxi, he literally ran over to her, beaming like a child on Christmas morning. Laura K. had the opportunity to talk to Cindy and she mentioned that Keith and Sarah never fought as kids! Wow!! My brother and I used to absolutely terrorize each other, so it’s hard for me to fathom never fighting with a sibling.

A Note From Keith's Mom

Keith Michael's mom Cindy left us this note in our comments earlier today. It was so nice, we thought it was important enough to post it for all to see:

Laura, thank you so much for being at Keith's show. I had been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. You are always so gracious, kind, and considerate with your articles. We have been through a great deal of sadness and disappointment with past issues, yet you have been a bright spot through all of it. I also want to thank Keith's many supporters - you have no idea how comforting your well wishes and positive comments have been to us. Thank you Dave (my husband) for always being there for us. And to Keith I want to say - I have been blessed to have you and Sarah as the most loving children. Both of you deserve only the best for the future. Stay as beautiful as you have always been.

Cindy

BPR at Keith Michael's Show

We left Zulema's Show and had some dinner at a cute place around the corner. I noticed that the London Terrace was across the street! We still had a little bit of time and arrived early at Cain on 27th Street. I peeked inside and it looked pretty quiet. Rie and Travis were already there and they mentioned that Keith's mom, Cindy was inside. Well, you KNOW that the number-one item on my list was to interview Keith's mom. We "met" her before when Keith sent this note and photo. I knew she was beautiful and fun and I just felt like she would very very proud of her son.

So, with Ken beside me, we went inside and there was Keith! I introduced myself and said that I knew he was very busy but that I really wanted to meet Cindy.

She graciously sat down and talked to me for a little while.

Project Runway Designers at Fashion Week

Alison Kelly will be showing on September 6th as part of Nolcha Fashion Week at the Prince George Ballroom, 15 East 25th Street NY, NY 10016. Here is most of the press release:

On Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 12:30pm, Alison Kelly will set off the Nolcha runway unveiling her highly anticipated Dahl by Alison Kelly spring ‘08 collection to an audience of fashion elite and international press.

Dahl by Alison Kelly spring ’08 collection takes an upbeat approach while staying true to its signature fierce, yet romantic quality her line has embodied with her previous collection. Using colors such as red vermillion and buttery yellow, her new collection offers an array of elegant, yet playful ensembles that seamlessly fold and flow across the body. “I dreamt of China in 1920, there was a woman sitting next to an elegantly dressed gentleman in an old Rolls Royce, she was the image of beauty, wearing a beautiful gown of sage green, jewels & lacquered hair. Her eminence comes to life in this collection.” says Alison.

For additional information on Nolcha Fashion Week: NYC and Silhouette please contact Christie Pageler: cris@pagelerpr.com or 786.303.9774.
