Published: Dec. 25, 2015, 8 a.m.

b'Ladies and gentleman, this episode will forever be an absolute dream come true for me. The day that we had the Emmy Award-winning co-host of Lifetime\\u2019s mega-hit show Project Runway Tim Gunn. Tim is fashion royalty and he\\u2019s had a long lasting career as a mentor and educator with roles like\\xa0 Chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design, Fashion Dean at Fifth & Pacific and Chief Creative Director at Liz Claiborne Inc. He\\u2019s also a New York Times best-selling author. Most recently he has an upcoming show debuting November 12 called Project Runway Junior. This show will focus on up and coming emerging young designers aged 13-17. Tim will co-host alongside super model Hannah Davis, Kelly Osborne, designer Christian Siriano and executive fashion editor at Cosmo and Seventeen Magazines, Aya Kanai. Be sure to tune in on Nov. 12 at 9p ET. Takeaways from our time together: How Tim didn\\u2019t get paid when Project Runway first launched (season 1 AND 2). Nada. Zilch. His So Money moment after years of living paycheck to paycheck as a \\u201cpauper educator,\\u201d he describes. Receiving a $50,000 inheritance in the 1990s and how he used it strategically. Fun Fact: Tim and I actually used to live in the same apartment building together (though I was always too shy to say Hello. I blame my yoga pants.)
