Last night, Kellie and I went to see the Jay McCarroll documentary, Eleven Minutes, about his post-Project Runway experiences and what he went through to get his first show at Bryant Park in September 2006. {This was part of a GLBT film festival - Frameline - in San Francisco}
It was a really good movie - and Jay himself was at the theater, doing a Q & A session with the directors. He was hilarious, and a bit catty at times, and he did share some dirt about PR and what he's got going on this year.
The Project Runway dirt:
Apparently, Wendy wasn't as bitchy as she was portrayed - and she was a flirt with pretty much all of the men. Jay made a comment that she was so good, he wanted to take flirting lessons from her!
He mentioned that he occasionally has people mistaking him for Chris March - which he finds amusing, and says that he loves Chris. Christian Siriano, on the other hand ... Jay did get kind of catty about him!
For this upcoming season, be on the lookout for him, Christian and Daniel V. as guest judges (for different challenges, of course).
His favorite judge? Nina Garcia - apparently she was good at encouraging the contestants, doing what she could to get them to do their best work.
What's up this year:
He's got a line coming up on QVC, July 21st. He'll be there, showing the line and doing whatever else people do on QVC!
Also coming this year - a line of fabrics. No specifics given, besides "this year".
And, as for Urban Outfitters*? Of his 30-piece collection, they only bought 5 items. And then, it fell through, so there were no items! :-(
* Jay was supposed to have a clothing line through Urban Outfitters a couple of years back - but it didn't happen, obviously.
