MUSIC: Last week Craig Finn made a solo appearance amongst the books at Barnes & Noble, tonight he's with his rock band, The Hold Steady, playing another free show. Joining them are the Old 97’s, and newer band, Illinois. A triple-threat lineup with a can't-be-beat pricetag. 5:30pm // 7 World Trade Center [250 Greenwich St] // Free READING: Possibly known more for her role on Project Runway than her fashion direction with ELLE magazine, Nina......

We were reading New York Magazine's Fashion Week Food Diaries where models, a show producer, and a fashion editor submitted three days of their eating habits. The fashion editor is Elle's fashion news director, Anne Slowey, who we remember very well from Project Runway's season 2 ice skating outfit challenge. And the diary seems to clear up some things. Over the course of three days, Slowey's diet consists mostly of water, an intense vitamin regimen,......

May the television gods hear our and others' pleas! Last month, the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan broke the news that Tim Gunn was not signed for a fourth season of Project Runway:Will he be back? Ever the modest one, he would only say he "makes no assumptions," but he would come back "in a heartbeat" if asked. There's no official word, by the way, that there will be a fourth season, but it seems more......

Tonight is the reunion episode for season 3 of Project Runway, but we must relive last week's episode first. - Model "stealing" - Fair is fair, so we can't really fault Uli for choosing Nazri as her model (after all, she took her after winning the dog challenge). We're just surprised Michael didn't choose Amanda (we find Clarissa a little cross-eyed). Then again, maybe Michael didn't want to hear about Amanda's boyfriend not buying her......

Ahhhh! It's Olympus Fashion Week and today, the designers from Project Runway showed their collections! Now, as we all know, all four designers from the Final Four - Jeffrey, Laura, Michael and Uli - get to present at Fashion Week, but one of the shows is a decoy, in order for people not to know who the true Final Three are. (Last year, Kara Janx presented at Fashion Week, though Daniel V., Chloe and......

Before we jump into talking about episode 1 of Season Three, Gothamist would like to take a few moments to discuss the Auditions show (aka Road to the Runway): - We still love all the Season 3 designers - Chloe, Daniel, Santino, Nick - who appeared on the show. We love that Santino couldn't bear to see the guy in the skintight outfit, we love that Chloe really liked Season 3 candidate Michael's work......

Our Wednesday nights have purpose again, as Project Runway starts its third season and pull us out of our rerun doldrums. The audition show was on last night and will repeat tonight at 9PM before the 10PM season three premiere. And have you read Tim Gunn's blog entry about the season three auditions? Here's Tim's transcript of what happened in LA:Our next candidate enters holding a top with a hoodie shaped like a dragon head,......

Last night's Project Runway Reunion special was so good: Montages, dirty looks, incomprehensible babbling, serious weight loss (thank you, John Wade - you look great!), and Tim Gunn! Some things we noticed, wondered about, and loved: - Daniel Franco got fat and looks sorta like Robert Smith; and what's with his ugly Rolling Stones tongue jacket? - The "Time elapsed" clock showing that Andrae's episode 2 (the Clothes Off Your Back challenge) freakout last just......

Project Runway has a couple of its season two dresses for sale on various auctions at the PR website. They are winning dresses from Santino and Chloe, plus that terribly-fitting Daniel Franco muslin dress and Diana's deconstructed prom dress. Naturally, Santino's and Chloe's dresses are in the $300+ range, while Daniel's and Diana's dresses are at about $55. Gothamist really loves Santino's dress (right), and maybe, if we removes some ribs and about a third......

Wednesday is now most definitely the new Must See TV night. Not only is there Law & Order, Lost, and CSI: NY on the big networks, there's America's Next Top Model, Veronica Mars, and now Project Runway on Bravo. It is the only night of the week that requires a seriously souped up TiVo set-up, but luckily the UPN and Bravo replay their shows. Project Runway's new season starts with two hours of annoying new......
