Project Runway Guide to New York
After tomorrow's Project Runway finale, distressed design fans can still get their fashion fix by paying a visit to the city the show calls home. In New York, you can buy clothing made by Project Runway's designers, sign up for a class at Parsons, get fabric in the Garment District, and best of all, stalk Tim Gunn. After all, when you rewind the show on your DVR it's pretty clear that he's winking at you and coyly saying that you two crazy kids could "make it work." Don't worry, I saw it too.

MSNBC has fashion maven Tim
MSNBC has fashion maven Tim Gunn's Guide to Travel just in time for last night's premiere of Project Runway.

Bradley Baumkirchner, you bearded bundle of nerves, yesterday the judges sent you and your Cher-ish outfit packing. Not your fault.

The scene in Heathrow, Gatwick and other airports is complete chaos, according to the BBC. BA has canceled 360 flights alone at Heathrow alone and many other airlines have canceled as well. Though the chaos may ebb in the upcoming days, new restrictions will surely follow. According to Tony Douglas, an airport operator, "passengers will remain subject to the new security processes we therefore ask anybody intending to fly tomorrow and over the weekend should arrive at the airport prepared, "no hand luggage, bringing any items allowed into the cabin in a clear plastic bag and being prepared for delays."
