  1. I had read about this in his book. Even before the Project Runway juggernaut hit Tim had made it better and made it work. Loves Tim.

  2. OMG. I'm crying now. But in a good way. If only I could have heard this when I was a "yout". Bless Tim AND Dan Savage!

  3. Tim's video was surprising to me. I would never have thought that someone as strong and composed as Tim Gunn is NOW had contemplated suicide. Kudos to him for sharing his story!
