Time Magazine recently posted a video interview with Sir Tim (excerpts and video below).
Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain? —Sharlin Aldao MIAMI LAKES, FLA.
Michelle Obama. Absolutely. She looks so comfortable and relaxed in her style, in her fashion, and she exudes that. She has a presence that gives you confidence in her.
What has been your favorite outfit designed by a contestant on Project Runway? —Rachel Thompson, Dallas
May I give two answers? For me—and it's very emotional—it was the winning look from the very first episode of the very first season, when we took the designers to a Gristedes grocery store and Austin Scarlett made a dress out of corn husks. It was the closest to couture as a corn husk in America could possibly get. On the fashion front, it was the collaboration of Christian Soriano and Chris March on Season 4, the avant-garde challenge. That dress was magnificent.
Do you ever watch Project Runway when it airs? How do the edited versions of the show compare with what the TV viewers never see? —John C. Mohn, Jr., Cornwall, PA
I always watch Project Runway when it airs. And if I'm not home I DVR it. I have to say that the editing is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm there with the show, day in and day out, and I don't know that I could tell a cohesive story. Whenever one of the designers has the lack of presence of mind to say "you know, I wasn't really like that, it was the editing." Really? The editing can't put words in your mouth, the editing can't have you doing things you didn't do. If anything, the editing is kind to everybody, including me.

Love him!
And you said it, Tim-- when they flashed that picture of Vincent, my skin crawled.
All in all, good questions in the interview. Though I had to wonder: size 6 is difficult to dress?? Is that really considered problematically big? Geesh.
Nerd or not, I could eat him up with a spoon.
I simply must get on his show. Oh grand silver fox, teach me to dress in thy soigne ways!
I love* him!
*in a non-sexual, non-stalking kind of way of course.

Love TIM!!
I think a 6 is difficult to dress if you are an average 50 year old (as the questioner) with average sized 'pockets' as Tim might say. It is a combo of the age, size, and what is available for that age group.
Either you are trying to look 20, or you have to wear a burka. There doesn't seem to be much low/middle priced, middle ground for the older woman that is stylish and age appropriate. There is at Nordstrom, but I don't consider that low/middle. Designers don't create for that age group-- as Tim said they have 19, 22 year old muses.
I love Tim Gunn, and I bitterly regret not taking my life savings and bidding on lunch with St. Tim...how could my priorities be so twisted?
