What a day! Worlds collided today in NYC as Blogging Project Runway hosted its first ever tour. We now know the faces behind many of the names: Moi;, JantheDanFan, Trish, praddict, echoe311, Snowflake, Jessie and many of your other favorites joined us today in the Big Apple in a day filled with unabandoned PR love. Let's take a quick toll of the damage. What were some of the things we did?
- Visited the roof of The Atlas, site of the famous "Boys from 35D" scene
- Renenacted "PR The Musical" in the Parsons workroom
- Toured Tim Gunn's Parsons office (and some of us dared sit in his chair!)
- Fabric shopping and gawking at Mood
- Lunched at the Red Lobster (where else?)
- Visited and interviewed many designers auditioning for PR3 at Macy's, including early BPR fave Jamie Mihlrad, who we are happy to report made the first cut today (yay Jamie!)
Who did we see? Hold on to your hats PR fans...
- Emmett McCarthy
- Kara Janx
- Daniel Vosovic
- Tim Gunn!
Don't worry, we have more photos and video than what we know what to do with. You'll see them soon. To all those in attendance today, please e-mail any pictures or video to Blogging_Project_Runway@yahoo.com so we can share the many stories from today.
I can tell you from my own experience that the BPR family is as warm and smart and as wonderful as you can imagine. What an honor to meet all of you. Thank you Laura for an unforgettable day!

I met my man Daniel Vosovic. He is as sweet and beautiful in person as I imagined. Love him.
I am an extremely happy BPR member today. What an incedible and unbelievable day!!!
I knew I left too early, oh well
But I am soooo happy for you Jan!!!!
Oh...my...stars -- what a fabulous day!!! I cannot believe you got to meet so many PR folks!
I am actually still trying to gather my thoughts and figure out in words, how to properly thank you for this day. Laura Tbone Scar, you are amazing! Laura you are an angel. BPR has to be the most amazing group of people and if I had read about this day as some kind of sweepstakes prize I would not have believed the luck of the "winner" and you guys made it happen for many people. Kara and Emmet and Pasqulaie, just cannot say enough about people who sacrifice their time for people they don't even know but want to share with. Seriously words cannot express.. okay I'll go until I have something better organized right now I am still in OMG I can't believe how wonderful the day was!
Snowflake-I feel the same way. It was such a surreal day, I can't wrap my brain around it all yet.
Karen-I love the way you have been able to put our Macy's experience into words.
All I can keep repeating is, "I met Daniel!!!" followed by a little dance.
Hey Moi!
I saw the pic and LOVE it. Thank you so much for sharing in my enthusiasm!
I had the best time with everyone all day--and our little camp out at Macy's was so much fun!
Milton and I sang the Tim Gunn song on our walk to Toys R Us. And it's still repeating in my head.
My cousin and I kept hitting each other on the train ride home repeating "Guess what? I met Daniel!!!" and "Guess what? I met Tim Gunn!!!"
Hey - how did the "model" make out this morning???
Posting a little late (took the kid back to school yesterday!) but it was the most amazing day. I think I was in shock most of the time and I kept saying yesterday "Did I really get to do that??" I knew we should have gone on to Macy's!!! I am soo jealous, guys-but it was a great day and I can't thank you enough, Laura. TBone and Scarlett, too-this is a great forum with wonderful fun people. We really do need to do it again!! Maybe for Fashion week!
You have to go into "account options" and make the album public.
Anyone still having trouble with mine?? Please let me know!!!
love you all :)
Trish
I think Kara is now a best fiend to each of us! She's such an amazing person. So full of life and fun. We EACH got a hug from her upon entering her doorway.
Did this really happen?
Sounds fabulous, Im green with envy...lucky you! Cant wait to see the photos.
How thrilling to meet the designers too!
Wonderful!
I know Jan! I kept thinking that all day long at work yesterday and everyone I told the story to? well I couldn't believe I was saying "in her house"! LOL
Hope to see you again soon!
I keep remembering how cute Kara looked when we were across the street, remember? There was just this sea of people and traffic everywhere, the NY hustle and bustle and then there she was, waving and smiling-she just stood out, like a beacon, no? Like she was glowing! Both her and Emmett: their graciousness and kindness to us, opening their work and their lives to us, what a wonderful thing. And Emmett-what a hottie in person, no? Camera DID NOT do him enough justice-Jan is right, those eyes!!
