I've just realized that in 18+ editions of Hump Day Hotties, though we've featured a wide array of couples, groups, women, men, readers choice, and even a cartoon character --No "silver fox" has ever had the starring role. I'm all about equal opportunities to raise temperatures, so this week I have to bat my eyelashes in the direction of the hottest of Project Runway's uniquely sexy collection of crazy divas, Parson School of Design guru Tim Gunn. Despite the porn-star moniker, he's too classy for banal carnality. He'd be more like the older lover that becomes a friend and mentor that forever defines you. Tim is delightfully no-nonsense, always aesthetically correct, and so cool he's hot. Even if you have no interest in fashion, the Gunn magic is potent enough that you might find yourself picking up a Parsons brochure with foolish dreams of leaving it all behind you for a life of pattern-making, fabric selection, and overlock machines.
Tim: May we never fight in Red Lobster in front of our friends. We'll "make it work."
