Tim Gunn in ABC Family's "Teen Spirit"



Did you miss Tim Gunn in "Teen Spirit?"



Click here for a fabulous recap from our friends at tv.com.

Tim Gunn: My Favorite Mistake





Click here to read about Tim's "Last Great Love Affair."



We dated for about a month. It was long enough for me to know how easy it was, how wonderful it felt, that he was the person I was meant to meet. I could feel from him it was the same way. For me, the thought of merging two households had always been enough for me not to want a relationship, because I’m very meticulous about my apartment and my decoration. But since Daniel was a flight attendant, he had no stuff. It was all perfect.



Episode 2 Auctions

"My Pet Project" garments are available for your bids here.





Right now Anya's design has the highest offer.
