I would like to add something to your list...HATS!! I really enjoy wearing fly hats in the summer. It compliments an outfit and helps block out the sun. There are so many styles around from the J-Lo big hat slanted to the side,the flower pot hat,or the smaller colored knit caps. I'm also old school so I might roc' a kango ahhahaha Anyway! you get the picture. Love the blog keep it comin'

Hey Daniel Vosavic, okay, I have no idea if you're ever going to even read this, but i just wanted to say that i'm a colossal fan of yours. Loved you on Project Runway. And from one gay michign-raised fashion-designer to another, your my hero :x Anyways, I agree with mostly everything you've stated... Accessories make the outfit. But, oh god, I actually like flip-flops... if they're not totally gross, and sort of stylish, i can stand them. I own a pair I got from h&m that i love. They're sort of converse-esque, and really cute...

First of all. I'm a BIG FAN of yours and I love you to death! ha. Okay, with that out of the way...

I've been feenin for a new pair of slick shades to sport. I've been looking at so many frames and I know what works. I'm partial to aviators myself and you are totally right about the proportion, tint, etc. I get so picky...you know...the gay kind of picky. ha.

I'm relying on favorites too but I just want something that has style rather than trendiness. gah. I can't decide.

Oh, flip flops are totally a Southern Cali kind of thing.

Love your work. Love your article.

I look forward to your future entries.

I agree completely with the flip flop stand. Too many men think they are just at the top of the stud list with them! I manage a sporting goods store (gay mans dream job) and so many come in with them and want to try on shoes. What are they thinking! Anyway, great job on here and happy to have the website. Good luck in your career.

Daniel...i know exactly what you mean about the whole flip flop deal...i recently got a pair of black flats that i have been dying for for a while and have been wearing them everywhere! i cant seem to ever go back to flip flops and there is just something i guess not very "sanitary" about feet..but i dont think flip flops are something one can knock...they are just too easy and accessible to wear over the summer (cheap as well)
as far as sunglasses go i am so into the aviators right now, im actually hoping to get a pair of tom ford's...
anyways, i just wanna let you know that i am also going into my 2nd yr at FIT and you were definitely amazing on the show, i know just about everyone i know was glued to the tv just as much as i was every wednesday
good luck with everything!

Dani V...when reading about how you're an avid fan of the Hot Gay Nerd (aren't we all? even just a little bit) I was instantly reminded of the Will&Grace episode. And I love Will&Grace! Then I was reminded of your audition tape when you used Jack's "You're my new best friend, call me every 5 minutes" line. I love it! I can't wait until next weeks!

As everyone has mentioned on here and is now becoming somewhat cliche (and almost expect from everyone on here), I too enjoyed your designs and watching you on PR2. As for your summer tips, I agree with most, but the flip-flops. As a person who absolutely hates wearing shoes (okay, so I was raised in the South, get over it), the flip flops allow me to have minimal shoes on my feet while still having shoes on my feet. My one rule about flip-flops is they must the the solid black, completely plain, cheapest you can find at target, most basic flip-flops every, and one must wear them as such. Otherwise, I am gone now to buy me a tie and a new pair of sunglasses.

I will compleatly agree with the "feet rant".

I myself have experienced all the same feelings towards exposef feet, even on women. Feet flip floping around , getting dirty on the city streets , sweating and smelling on the subway or at a coffee house. I simply cannot stand it. It's repulsive.

Both the ladies and gentlement should not wear cheap flat flipflop sandals ( see Havana's flip flops for a prime example) in the city , it's too dirty and dangerous. I remember back when i was in highschool there was an anti-flipflop rule due to a large amount of injuries in bussy crowded halls. The same thing aplies in the city.
I loose hope when i see a woman sporting flipflops around bussy city streets while her feet get dusty , dirty and risk getting trampled or exposed to all kinds of harsh things (broken glass is a good example).

Sandals and flip flops especialy should only be used casualy and as college shower shoes. Maybe your children run around with them in the back yard. That's also fine.
However , they are not acceptable in a high traffic (city streets), or high class (gallery) , or food related place (coffee shops , restaurants).

It's gross.

But atleast i am happy to know that there are other footphobes out there.

You know, I feel you on the flip-flop thing--I hate feet and I hate having to see the disgusting toes of my less-than-hygenic male friends.
However, I have developed an ever-growing disdane for shoes and socks in general. I wear my AE flipflops almost exclusively now. I guess that's hypocritical of me, but I really do try to keep my feet from looking, you know, disgusting.
Also, this blog reminded me that I need new sunglasses. Thank you for that.

And just for the record: you're amazing.

I doubt you get tired of hearing this, so I'll just be another to say: You're absolutaly adorable. You were the main reason I started watching Project Runway ;-p. Anyway, you said something about man bags but never really elaborated...there's an extremely cute Louis Vuitton beach bag that I want desperately, but I don't want to OVERfag it...that's just not my style...so would that be something to just avoid?

I am a 65 year old woman who watched Project runway for the first time last year. My daughter, granddaughter and a few of her friends all watched the finale together. Wow ,we were soooo disapointed when you didn't win. My granddaughter was on her cell phone with a half a dozen friends bemoaing the decision. (Still don't understand the judges) but we are very fond of you and wish you the best of luck in life.

And though I liked Chloe a bit, you should've
won Project Runway.I could see my self wearing
pretty much all of your designs, and if I wasn't so poor, I'd track you down and have you make me a prom dress.
I Love your blogs, you seem sooo...cool and fashion-like.

hey dan!!! this is a fan from your home town lowell michigan! i am just going into highschool and when you were on project runaway, all the teachers from LMS starting talking about you! Like Mr. Ackers and Mrs. Hall which probably wasn't known as Mrs.Hall back then because she just married Scott Hall another teacher at LMS! Oh sorry i'll get to the chase!!! Well I was hoping next time you come and visit Lowell that you have a fashion show down at the River Boat on main st. or even at our highschool! Everyone wants to meet you down there and I really want to meet you and get your autograph so please think about it and email me back! If you do say yes I most likely can get our principle to let you show some of your clothes at our school but it probably will have to be like after school but anyway email me back about it!!! my email is hottydog4090@aim.com!!!
