Gunn's blazing: TV's favorite fashion guru Tim unleashes some serious dish
By Jim Farber
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Tim Gunn built his reputation on being sweet, supportive and scrupulously polite. So why, in his latest book, does he spend key pages flinging mud and gorging on gossip?
In the deceptively titled "Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work" (Gallery Books, $23.99), "Project Runway’s" nicest star lets loose on Anna Wintour, Isaac Mizrahi, Padma Lakshmi, Martha Stewart's daughter, Alexis, and some of the very designers he seemed to boost on the show.
In conversation, Gunn amplifies the charges. Of Anna Wintour's diva-like antics — including allegedly being carried down the stairs at one fashion event like an ancient queen — Gunn says, "It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program."
On calling Mizrahi a spoiled snob in his book, he says, "Oh, please, I was so kind to him. I mean, I wouldn’t have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person."
In the book, Gunn calls Alexis Stewart "one of the angriest people I’ve ever met. [She] kept cursing under her breath in anticipation of her mother coming — 'goddamn bitch,' almost as if she had Tourette’s syndrome."
To the News, he explained, "I was so horrified by how she treated her mother in front of a lot of people. Good heavens, you’re an adult!"
Ironically, all these swipes emanate from a tome that’s ostensibly a guide to good behavior. Then again, it’s the snotty or condescending antics of both public and private figures that earns Gunn’s ire. So, in that way, the gripes fall in line with his theme.
Gunn, 57, says his book expanded from its initial premise as a straight etiquette guide because "I don’t like the word. It connotes fish forks and wine-glass placement. And it sounds elitist and stuffy."
Still, he did want to provide "an antidote to all the bad behavior that abounds around us. One of the themes of the book is 'Take the high road,' you’ll never regret it." In fact, "Golden Rules" does more than just promote a cool demeanor while punishing what he calls "potty-mouthed ruffians."
It also serves as Gunn’s autobiography — an unexpectedly revealing one.
"One thing I hear with frequency is that people don’t know very much about me," says Gunn. "They see me interacting with people and probing into their backgrounds because that gives me a context for who the designer is. But I haven’t opened up about myself. This book does that."
Gunn writes with surprising candor about his chilly relationship with his parents. He paints his mother as remote, his father as a homophobic brute. "My mother is truly, deathly ill right now," says Gunn. "She has congestive heart failure, kidney failure. If she’s still alive on Sept. 7 [the day before the book’s publication], she won’t be on the eighth."
Despite such statements, Gunn insists, "I love her dearly. But she’s a stone."
The author’s father served as an FBI special agent and ghost writer for the legendary chief of the organization, J. Edgar Hoover. In his book, Gunn speculates on Hoover’s alleged homosexuality and wonders about his dad’s own orientation. "You have to wonder about the identity of an individual who’s so blatantly homophobic," he says of his father. "Then there’s the whole Hoover FBI, with all these really good-looking men. It’s a little spooky like Hoover’s hand-picked club."
Gunn’s own sexuality comes in for hard scrutiny in the book as well. He says he didn’t come to terms with being gay until his 20s. "I knew what I wasn’t, but not what I was," he says.
Gunn also writes about a terrible relationship he had over 20 years ago, which ended with a betrayal so wounding, he has not risked a romantic involvement since. It’s been decades since he has had sex, he says, though he stresses he’s happy with the decision.
"I wanted to say that, whether you’re gay or straight, you can live a celibate life and be perfectly satisfied and happy." Gunn considers himself a gay role model, not only for his caring persona, but for his work on a show like "Project Runway," which accents talent and achievement over backbiting and table-flipping.
While many have felt the show lost much of its buzz when it moved from Bravo to Lifetime, Gunn prefers the earnest aura of the latter to the wild campiness of the former. It irked him that Bravo tried to make his own offshoot show, "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style," more confrontational.
"They were desperately looking for a co-host with whom I could have conflict and antipathy, and I said 'I won’t work with someone like that. I don’t want a battling diva.' But that’s what they wanted."
Gunn knows that his desire for something more supportive puts him out of step with much of the culture. He also knows that playing etiquette guide can make him sound like, in his words, "an old fart."
"But I am an old fart," he says. "You really do need to draw the line and set up boundaries."
Luckily, he has no shortage of hard and fun words for those he feels stray beyond them.

Tim Gunn Calls Isaac Mizrahi A Spoiled Snob, Talks Celibacy
Tim Gunn Calls Isaac Mizrahi A Spoiled Snob, Talks Celibacy
We already knew Tim Gunn's new book "Gunn's Golden Rules" was packed with fashion world gossip after we read an excerpt in June revealing that Anna Wintour's bodyguards carry her down stairs...but what else does Gunn have to say? The New York Daily News talked to the "Project Runway" mentor about what else is in the pages. In the book, Gunn takes on designer Isaac Mizrahi, calling him a spoiled snob. He explained to the Daily News, "Oh, please, I was so kind to him. I mean, I wouldn't have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person."
But "Gunn's Golden Rules" also serves as an autobiography and Gunn discusses his own sexuality. He came to terms with being gay in his 20s, but hasn't had sex since he ended a terrible relationship decades ago. According to Gunn, "I wanted to say that, whether you're gay or straight, you can live a celibate life and be perfectly satisfied and happy."

"Anti-sweat" suit promises to make subways more tolerable
"Anti-sweat" suit promises to make subways more tolerable ***from amNY***

For the chic New York City man sweltering on the subway platform, there is now the “anti-sweat” suit.
A Manhattan tailor catering to city bigwigs has started peddling a $1,200 suit that promises to be 10 degrees cooler and deter subway “shvitz.” The custom-made Zegna suits is made with Australian wool, which is said to wick moisture and cool the skin.
“The market is businessmen and lawyers ... who still have to wear a suit in the subway,” said KJ Singh, a sales manager for Mohan’s Custom Tailors, which has sold a hundred of the suits since introducing them this year.
It’s no wonder business has been brisk. So far this month, temperatures have been above 90 degrees for 11 out of the last 19 days, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.
emperatures have trended 4 degrees above normal all summer, and experts said that the worst is yet to come, with late July and August tending to be the most brutal.
“I think it’s fantastic,” said Scott Yarwood, 30, a Wall Street banker when told about the suit. “You get what you pay for.”
“With the weather these days, it would be worth it,” said Matt Saidman, 25, of Forest Hills.
So are the threads worth the hefty price tag?
“It’s not like I’m wearing an air conditioner,” said Christopher Sabatini, amNewYork’s design director, who tested the anti-sweat suit in the subways Monday. “But sweat is not rolling down my back.”
It took Sabatini 10 minutes to start sweating on the Penn Station platform; he said he would usually “be a flood” by then.

Thoughts on "The Last Airbender"
So, everyone's split on The Last Airbender". I, personally, have been looking forward to it for a long time now and when I got to see it on Saturday, I saw what people meant. But here's the thing, and I don't think people see it that way: M. Night Shyamalan took it from the perspective where people are not split by race but by elements. Yes, the original tv series ( Avatar: The Last Airbender") was based on all Asians but you have to remember that the concept was created and written by non-Asians so, theoretically, it left it open to the interpretation of the person running the show. In this case it was Shyamalan who took it from the aformentioned persective and I respect that. Maybe in the future the world will be run by the Chinese but this isn't an epic where all the major martial arts stars come out and play. Avatar was about kids discovering that they have to be responsible and save the world.
There were a few things that could have been better, like saying Sokka's name. It's said like the biggest football game in the world minus the r, not "Soka". There were other names that were mispronounced but I ignored that fact.It happens. People mispronounce names every day. Just... like... research, yes? Condensing a whole season into 2 hours made it seem shorter b/c there were several episodes that could have been put in to explain things a little more. What if there were people that never saw the series? I saw every ep so I know what's up. And the kids should have been allowed to be more kid-like as the characters are pretty much kids. Aang was played too seriously, even though his role is pretty serious.
But I do like the idea that there will be a movie for each "book" and that the actors look like the main characters. Except General Hiro. Uncle coulda looked a little more Uncle-like but his character acting was really good in portraying the person.
I expect people will say what they will on this subject but this is my take on it. I like it and look forward to the other 3 movies-to-be and hope that they'll be done better.

Malcolm McLaren, Seminal Punk Figure, Dies at 64
***From the NYTimes***
Malcolm McLaren, Seminal Punk Figure, Dies at 64
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Published: April 8, 2010
Malcolm McLaren, an impresario, recording artist and fashion designer who as manager of the Sex Pistols played a decisive role in creating the British punk movement, died on Thursday in Switzerland. He was 64.
The cause was mesothelioma, a cancer of the linings around organs, said Young Kim, his companion of many years. She said he had been under treatment at a Swiss hospital. He lived in Paris and New York.
Mr. McLaren, a former art student, found an outlet for his ideas about fashion, music and social provocation in the inchoate rock ’n’ roll scene of London in the early 1970s. Operating from the clothing boutique Sex, which he and the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood ran, he brought together four obscure musicians, called them the Sex Pistols and provided them with an attitude suited to Britain in decline: nihilistic rage, expressed at high volume in songs like “Anarchy in the U.K.” and the vitriolic anti-anthem “God Save the Queen.”
Mr. McLaren was a keen student of the French Situationists, who believed in staging absurdist or provocative incidents as a spur to social change. He arranged for the Sex Pistols to sign their contract with A&M Records outside Buckingham Palace and organized a performance of “God Save the Queen” on the Thames, outside the Houses of Parliament, on a boat named the Queen Elizabeth. The police quickly intervened, ratifying the group’s incendiary reputation.
Until their breakup in January 1978, the Sex Pistols epitomized the look, the sound and the attitude of British punk. All three came, in large measure, from Mr. McLaren’s restless brain.
Malcolm Robert Andrew McLaren was born on Jan. 22, 1946, in London and was raised mostly by a wealthy grandmother. He attended more than half a dozen art schools. At none of them did things go smoothly. He was expelled from Chiswick Polytechnic, and the Croydon College of Art tried to have him transferred to a mental institution.
He terminated his education, such as it was, in 1971 at Goldsmiths’ College in London, but not before completing a series of paintings titled “I Will Be So Bad.”
In 1972 Mr. McLaren and Ms. Westwood took over a store on King’s Road in Chelsea called Let It Rock and began selling hipster Teddy boy fashions. The business was run along unconventional lines.
In a 1997 article for The New Yorker, Mr. McLaren recalled, “We set out to make an environment where we could truthfully run wild.” On most days the shop did not open until the evening and closed within a few hours. The goal, Mr. McLaren wrote, “was to sell nothing at all.”
After the New York Dolls visited the store, renamed Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die, Mr. McLaren followed the group to the United States and became its manager. He dressed the band members in red clothing based on the Soviet flag, placed politically provocative slogans onstage and presided over their swift demise.
Back in London, Mr. McLaren, now at Sex, took an interest in a group called the Strand (later the Swankers), three of whose members formed the nucleus of the original Sex Pistols. The group gave its first performance at St. Martin’s College on Nov. 6, 1975 — hostile audience reaction caused the players to leave the stage after two songs — and soon emerged as the leader of the punk scene. Reliably or not, Mr. McLaren explained his strategy for packaging and selling the band in the 1980 film “The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle.”
“Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen” (whose release was timed to coincide with Queen Elizabeth II’s silver jubilee) rose to the upper rungs of the pop charts in Britain, and the group’s only album, “Never Mind the Bollocks: Here’s the Sex Pistols,” reached No. 1 in 1977. On the band’s first American tour, in January 1978, John Lydon, the lead singer known as Johnny Rotten, walked offstage at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, and the Sex Pistols dissolved.
Mr. McLaren briefly managed Adam and the Ants and then, with several ex-Ants, created Bow Wow Wow around a teenage Burmese singer, Annabella Lwin. The group recorded the hits “Go Wild in the Country” and “I Want Candy.” Through his clothing store, now called World’s End, he sold Ant and Bow Wow Wow fashions.
He went on to record his own music. His album “Duck Rock” (1983), a blend of world music and hip-hop, generated the hit singles “Buffalo Gals” and “Double Dutch.”
“I’m much more of a magician than a musician,” he told The Globe and Mail of Toronto in 1985. “I steal other people’s songs and try to make them better.”
In 1984 Mr. McLaren released the album “Fans,” a mixture of opera and urban music, which included the hit single “Madame Butterfly.” “Waltz Darling” (1989), “Paris” (1994) and other albums followed.
In recent years his name was linked with film, television and radio projects, most of them never realized, although he did help produce the film “Fast Food Nation” and presented two series for BBC2 radio, “Malcolm McLaren’s Musical Map of London” and “Malcolm McLaren’s Life and Times in L.A.”
He is survived by his son with Ms. Westwood, Joseph Corré, a founder of the lingerie company Agent Provocateur; a brother, Stuart Edwards; and a grandchild.
Mr. McLaren spent much of the last 30 years trying to explain punk. “I never thought the Sex Pistols would be any good,” he told The Times of London last year. “But it didn’t matter if they were bad.”

ATNYC @ Sakura Matsui May 1st!
So, that fashion show I mentioned in my previous entry fell through. Not my fault that people on their end can't work but at least get back to me about it and tell me I'm not needed after all *shrugs* Oh well.
On the brighter side, ATNYC will be making an appearance at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden for the Sakura Matsui Festival! The event is May 1st-2nd but we will only be there on May 1st so if you want to have your photo taken with your fave ATNYC personality, better show up then. We'll be doing a photoshoot and meet&greet that day and be at the garden all day. We do plan to be there early so if you see a cluster of young attractive people walking about, that's probably us *lol*
Also, we're still working with the Hoshi no Hikari Host Club to get an event together for the end of July. We got many promising things for this event, including the posibility of some bands and new designers outside of ATNYC. I'll have more on this as soon as possible.
As far as I know regarding conventions, Anime Next is very interested in having us there and NYAF is, of course, our hometown convention. Once I've got the confirmation on those, I'll post up when we'll appear. if you have any other convention suggestions, let us know~
And on a personal note, I just love how it's all sunny and warm outside where I'm wearing a tank top and capris to work :D

Shows in the works!
Well ain't life just quirky? I'm sitting at my desk at work and I receive a call from someone who I worked with last year. TJ organizes the fashion shows that are held at John Jay College every year and has asked me to work it. it's a bit last minute for me but I'll see once I get all the information. Who knows? I might just work it.
Also, the Hoshi no Hikari Host Club has asked ATNYC to help in working a fashion show that they've been planning for a while. I can't say that we are or we're not working it but things are looking promising.
NYAF is a far ways away but the next thing you know, it's all up in your face. ATNYC is working to see if we'll be able to participate this year and bring our fans yet another fashion show. I'll keep you posted on that when I find out new information.
And on the commission front, one of ATNYC's models, Kathy, has asked me to make one (of possibly several, I'm sure) dresses. Will it be used in the show? Maybe. You'll just have to wait and see.
But right now, it's official that ATNYC is having a get together at Sakura Matsui May 1st-2nd. ATNYC will be meeting on the 1st and it'll most likely be an all day event. Another event coming up is Japan Day. We're thinking of having a huge picnic and everyone's open to bring food to share.
That's all I got for now. Short and sweet ^_^ More later!
