Celebrity Sighting

Had a pretty cool enocunter with a genuine Famous Person today. Will, Daniel, Morgan and I went to lunch at Healthyca, where I sat across from a man with serious tattoos, especially across the neck. Knowing I knew him I narrowed it down. Not college... not a former co-worker... but I'll be goddammed if it wasn't Jeffrey Sebilia, the winner of Project Runway Season 3!



For those of you not familiar with the show, it's a reality show that I actually consider to have some quailty and character. You follow a bunch of fashion designers as they navigate various challenges and limitations, until one is chosen the winner. What I like about it is it is far less about silly and artificial drama than it is about truly talented peoplepracticing their craft in interesting ways. And, even knowing nothing about fashion, I really enjoy seeing the process of design and creation, and can appreciate the finished products.

Yes, the showrunners use editorial to create drama and petty fights, yes there are a couple pretty faces and live wires at the beginning of the show to keep it interesting, but as the season progresses, it gets more about the clothes. Which I admit can be fascinating. And unlike Top Chef, I can truly examine the finished product over the airwaves.

Anyway, I saw Jeffrey today. And I thought it was a solid sighting.
