Men in drag? A priest in a shorty robe? A prostitute nun!?!? No, you’re not walking along the West Side Highway late at night; it means that Halloween is right around the corner!

I was a big enough fan of the spooky holiday growing up, I mean, how you can’t be is beyond me: the tricks, the treats, the sweets, the late night, it’s better than x-mas for some kids! Alas, one reaches a certain age and traditions like candy and costumes become tiring and inconvenient, a chore from the thrill of the mundane 9 to 5 jobs that we have grown so accustomed to…

Too bad I’m not one of them! Get me some face paint, a few yards of fabric and a pocket full of cash and the night is mine, besides if Ms. Klum has her annual Halloween Bash, this year is sure to be another fashionable one as well. Last year I had myself a wicked good time, partying alongside some of the season 2 designers, dancing with likes of “Dirty Diana” and a handful of other creepy fashionistas!

I’m not sure what the plans will be this year, possibly a few parties here and there, but what got me thinking about it was a guy I saw on the train earlier this week. It was clearly too early for a costume party, and it wasn’t ridiculous enough to be a degrading work uniform (like a chicken suit or some thing) but fell right in the middle of fashion risk-taker/fashion victim. So I felt horrible asking for a photo, knowing what I’d be using it for, but instead found photos I’ve snapped of my own friends, in order to ask the age-old question: How far is too far? (... and of course to poke a little fun at the ones I love so much!)

Look: 1; Subject: Anna and her apron.

Now I remember passing by a store window down in the west village this summer and spotting this adorable print from the street. Anna tried it on and instantly decided that it would not only fair well in the kitchen, but on the street as well -- a colorful addition to the white, summer mini dress she was already sporting.

Since PR2 finished presented in Taiwan, PR3 haven't shown up now. So, I had not saw you for a long period of time. I thought you were more busy since the program revealed.

I hope you already be accustomed to the public's watch and it won't bring the bad effect to your happy life.

Best Wishes
Love,

hi daniel!
i enjoyed watching project runway 2 sooo much!! i just finished watching the season finale of 2. shucks i was really rooting for you!! :) season 2 was soo much fun to watch! i particularly loooved santino's impressions of tim gunn. '....what happened to aaahndre??'hahaha.. and his impression of that red lobster 'tiff'! and i must say...thats really quite an impressive "musicale" put together by santino, nick and company! my gosh u guys are the best! and the one thing that also really made me laugh so much i was in tears was this footage shown of andre.the one where there were so many different sequences shot of him sailing out, or just flying out of d hotel's revolving doors...and then the finale of that funny little clip showing him sailing along the streets of new york! and kara and chloe trying their best to 'do andre' in front of the mirror in their room. he's such an adorably funny guy he put tears to my eyes. it was really sad during that episode when he left.he's like this burst of sunshine everywhere he goes. nick was also one of my favorites and it was really such a shame he was chosen to leave during that particular episode. i thought overall, the suit was good and fit u really well. great color and cut. and his effort in creating it deserved a lot of credit. u looked really cute when u walked down the runway wearing it! european male. i thought he was able to capture that vision quite well. apart from the wrinkles on the suit that is... :)
anyway, episode reminiscing aside, i just wanted to let u know that apart from being such a young talented designer, i really admire u a lot for the person u are. i only know u from watching the show as millions of others around the globe has watched but there is a lot u can learn about a person in watching. i admire ur innate and genuine sensitivity and thoughtfulness. those two episodes where u really took the care and effort in comforting and encouraging kara and nick...it shows a lot about ur character..and the way u are always able to humbly accept praises from judges and co-designers for the challenges u keep on winning. thats really admirable.i have great respect for ppl who more than being geniuses or great achievers/designers, are ppl who have a genuine good heart and character. no wonder i found myself falling for that quietly thoughtful and gentle nature i saw, and eventually, those wonderful chocolate brown hair, those big puppy dog eyes that in an instant can light up from somber to little boy excitement. i always enjoy watching that lightning quick smile light up ur entire face every time u were announced a winner for the challenges. :)
anyway, i wish more success for u definitely ul go far. i really love ur designs..clean lines, discreet sophistication and elegance. ur definitely one talented designer and a beautiful person underneath everything. God Bless! :)

...I read the following entry in Daniel V's blog and wonder if it's true? Can anyone care to shed some light on it?

"Marilyn wrote- Daniel V, Did Andy forward the photo of your double, my darling son? EVERYone says "OhmyGOSH, he looks like Daniel V" and Andy agreed-- they wouldn't let him post my son's photo, but the best thing is that he is as kind and creative a young man as you, which makes my heart sing.
YOUR CLOTHING LINE WAS ASBOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT and I bid on several pieces-- the coat was to die for and your last srprise piece--the dress-- was copied by Kors this season, did you notice?
Congratulations--You are the winner." posted on August 31, 2006

Hey I live in New York City born and raised in Manhattan, its the best place to see the greatest (and worst) clothes. My grandfather owned a store where he sold rhinestoned earings and bracelets so Ive always been into design. My friend and I are big fans! We think your clothing is beautiful! I enjoy watching project runway and I am currently working on getting into design classes. That you for inspiring my friend and I. We all love you here in brooklyn/staten island

Is it just me, or does that first photo of the roller disco look like Joan Kors? Besides the fact that Joan Kors wouldn't be caught dead in that shirt, of course.
