That weighty gaze…

Today, this poem crossed my path for the first time. As I read it, I got that indescribably satisfying “Yes!” feeling one has when someone really truly gets what you’re thinking, or trying to say, or just simply gets you.

How fulfilling it is to now have the words to honorably describe that weighty gaze.

Ah, that weighty gaze.

Yessss. That’s it. That’s exactly it.

For Eros

When you love,
May you feel the joy
Of your heart coming
As your love’s gaze
Lands on your eyes,
Holding them,
Like the weight of a kiss,
Deepening

May slow sequences
Of kisses discover
Your secret echoes.

– John O’Donohue

FINALLY!!! Formerly on BRAVO, Project Runway was sold to Lifetime, prompting a much too lengthy legal battle between BRAVO & the show’s producer. BRAVO and Lifetime made money nice this past spring, and now the countdown to the season premiere is on!

‘Project Runway’ returns Aug. 20

“Project Runway” fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. The show’s sixth season has an official air date of Aug. 20 — that’s just 42 days, 6 hours and 13 minutes (from the time this post went up) away, according to the Countdown to the Premiere Clock on Lifetime’s website.

Also on the site are bios and videos of the Season 6 contestants, including L.A. local Johnny Sakalis, a 30-year-old designer who lives in West Hollywood. In his audition video, he presents the panel (which includes Tim Gunn and Santino Rice), with a swing coat and hoodie made from red-and-cream striped French damask fabric that had previously covered his friend’s wall. Judging from those two pieces I’m not convinced by our hometown boy, but maybe he’ll prove me wrong come Aug. 20.…
