After watching the premiere of Project Runway: Season 3 last night, we were excited to see the wise and paternal Tim Gunn on our screens again after a thankfully short reprieve. Our pal Matthew at Nervous Breakdown has started a series of advice from our favorite "mentor."

What’s something in your own wardrobe that would surprise people?

Wow, that’s a good question. Don’t I sound like the dullest person in the whole world? Gee, what would it be? Well it’s not often I get really stumped. Um… maybe a pair of cargo shorts?

Somehow we are not surprised at all by this.

His no-fail fashion picks: Sweater jackets are hands-down no-fail fashion picks. They provide the ease of a cardigan, but with the dressier and more pulled-together look that a jacket provides.

This is good advice, and we have already taken it to heart. Winter is coming up, so be prepared.

But what we love most of all about Tim are his favorite shows:

My therapy is TV. I’m a TV addict. I love Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, Blowout, Showdog Moms and Dads, Grey’s Anatomy. TV’s my little escape shuttle.

We also loved Showdog Moms and Dads. It was the second most brilliant reality show after Paradise Hotel and we hope it comes out on DVD some day. We can only imagine how fun it would have been to watch it with Tim.
