When are they going to have a reality show about Makeup Artists?

Ohhh...now that sounds like a good one.  I would watch that!

I've never heard of Blowout before. What is it?

I'm going to attempt to be clever and guess its a show about hair styling? Do I get a cookie?

Yes you do, the show profiles Jonathan Antin, an upstart owner of two salons, one in West Hollywood and one in Beverly Hills.

The first season profiled the opening of the Beverly Hills salon and its success and the second season followed the launch of his product line from the chemistry to the opening at Sephora and on a Home Shopping network style of show, though I'm hazy on the network.

I thought season two was the end of the road for Jonathan on Bravo, but season three has been advertised for the past three plus weeks.

Season two of Bravo’s Project Runway is moments away from its ultimate climax and the third season of Blow Out and Jonathan Antin are about to step onto center-stage.

It’s time for stylish drama in the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills Salons and Jonathan is definitely my withdrawal from Project Runway until season three premiers this coming winter.

Any Jonathan or Blow Out fans in the stylist family???

What’s your Project Runway withdrawal???

Jonathan use to do my hair. So I guess you can file me in the fan family. I don't watch the show though. The products were launched in Sephora and on shopping giant... QVC.

I can't stand watching Project Runway. If a real designer worked like that they'd be... out of business. It's not entertaining to me. I love Heidi Klum... but the show is so painfully frustrating for me to watch.

Good for the both of you! I don't know who your friend is, but just so you know... he does surf the internet and may as well read what you wrote.

He's the next Frederic Fekkai. Watching a programme is not the best way to judge someone. There is a line between gossip for the sake of gossip... and then there is a time where it's probably best to be professionally responsible... like when posting on forums about fellow industry peeps you don't know. The gossip fest stops here.

Just so you know... Jonthan is kind-hearted. He's humble and driven and obviously business savvy. And he's always there to help. He would go out of his way for people! He found me on the internet, he emailed me to offer advice at his own will (never did he try to get my business), he just truly likes to help people and I'm not a "hot chick." It's real tough to be a business owner, especially when employees aren't respectful... you are always the bad guy when you have people working under you. Give the guy a break... especially when you have never even met him.

He truly loves what he does and it shows.

I agree with you about not judging but, you said it yourself you do not watch the show and maybe you should to understand what others are saying . He is portrayed by the show a certain way and that is what people see . Plus do not go on TV if you don't expect people to get an opinion on who you are from what the show is showing. You did compare him to Frederic Fekkai (still not sure what you meant by that) and i am not sure you could unless you know both of them well. For the record i respect both of them

Frederic is a master, his work haunts me in my sleep! If I could still afford it... !!!!

When I say he is the next Frederic Fekkai... I'm saying he's on his way to be just as famous. Then again, Jonathan may as well be a household name already.

My point is that you should not speak badly... publicly about people in the business. It's not smart, especially when that person is very active on the net. It's fine for the general public to form an opinion, but we are suppose to be smarter than that... and very careful to not burn bridges with people we might meet or have to work with one day. I don't think a TV show is a reliable source of revealing who the person is. And I don't think hearsay is either. Meet him yourself if you want to know.
