Top Design, Good Cop Bad Cop January 30, 2007
Who showed and who didn’t? I’m not trying to be be cryptic, but here’s a little advice: if you want to hear the gossip before anyone else, you have to come to my humble little weblog. I know it’s no perez hilton, but I’m workin’ on it. Give a gal some slack.

My day in Grand Central went a bit like this:
1. Display of the S Shuttle promoting Top Design. (That’s the dingy grey train line that matches the the exterior the subway trains.)
2. Meet and greet with Bravo and Top Design Judges and contestants
3. Lunch with editors, designers, and various people from Bravo
The people from the show look like this: (PS: I’m sure they don’t always pose in pyramids unless directed to do so by Jonathon Adler, ((or the art director on the shoot.))
Today I had lunch with the Bravo camp, along with ALL the possible winners of “TOP DESIGN.” Judges include Margaret Russell from Elle Decor, and designers Todd Oldham and Jonathon Adler. Felicia, an LA-based interior designer and contestant on Bravo’s new Top Design, was to the left of me. Matt, an interior designer from Chicago was to the right of me. Sitting across from me was the Director of Interactive at BRAVO. Bravisimo, indeed (accent on the -i- I don’t do it properly on the blogosphere.) My rissoto, scallops, and molten chocolate tort were DEE-LISH and Top-Chef worthy. (The 1-and-a-half glasses of white wine didn’t help matters.)
Meghan, was there to entertain us all. She also happened to get me a photo with her, Jonathon, Margaret, and Matt. I hope that photo came out well. Thanks again Bravo. Top Design is going to be an amazing show a la Project Runway, minus the models.
The sanster.net ..where reality TV meets the web…”Watch what happens….”
Look out for future posts on why I think the tensions between judges, contestants. design, divas, design-divas, and camera-hoggers, has everything to do with the “GOOD COP, BAD COP” syndrome. The first episode airs Wednesday night after the season finale of Top Chef.
