In the season eight finale the judges could not agree on the winner. Heidi Klum and guest judge Jessica Simpson thought that Mondo Guerra should
 take top honors. Judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia argued that Gretchen Jones was fashion forward and the her styles would appeal to more women. Heidi Klum called the decision the most difficult in the show's history. Gretchen Jones was named the winner, causing outrage among Mondo fans.

Heidi Klum's new program, Seriously Funny Kids (working title), will premiere in 2011. Lifetime TV has not announced a return date for Project Runway.

Leaf-diving isn't just for kids - Lexington Herald-Leader

Posted: 12 Nov 2010 10:35 PM PST

There is something about a pile of fall leaves that is irresistible: A sunny fall day with just the right chill in the air. A jumble of red, gold and orange leaves calling to you: "Come run through me; toss my golden bounty in the air. Dive in and roll around. ... You know you want to."

But you resist the siren song. After all, you're an adult, and leaf-diving is for kids, right?

We say the fun of jumping into leaves is for everyone. So allow us to reintroduce the older ones and initiate youngsters to the fine art.Leaf-jumping 101

PICKING THE PILE: There are a couple of things to remember when selecting the perfect pile of leaves for diving: depth and density.

Too shallow, and people could get hurt; too deep, and you might never get through them.

Our highly unscientific research reveals that the ideal pile is at least 3 feet tall at the center and twice as wide. Yes, it's a load of leaves, but you get to do this only a couple of times a year, so do it right.

As for density, kick through the leaves a little to loosen the pile. Tightly packed leaves are no good.

Also, take note of where the pile is. Grass is best. If the leaves are anywhere near a street, think twice. Curbs are the hidden dangers of leaf piles (as some of us have found out the hard way — the really hard way). There is nothing like a belly flop onto concrete to make you hate autumn.

Stay away from leaves that look the slightest bit wet, and watch out for sticks. And, most importantly, avoid leaves that are floating in water.

WHAT TO WEAR: In the ideal leaf-diving universe, there are a few things you might want to consider.

First off, leaves can scratch. You'll no doubt come into contact with the occasional branch or twig, so gloves are a good bet, and — especially if you have a head of hair — a cap.

Also, diving through the air in a barn jacket might seem rustic and Martha Stewart-ish, but think about it: You'll be plucking leaves out of the pockets through March.

The same warning goes for clothes that are too loose — baggy hip-hop jeans could cause leaves to get into uncomfortable places.

We recommend a cotton turtleneck (impenetrable to leaves) underneath a cozy old wool sweater.

And depending on how brisk it is, consider long johns underneath a pair of jeans. Extra padding could be good. You know. Curbs.

STYLE AND TECHNIQUE: You have your pile and your gear, so what's next?

If you are 5 years old, do what comes naturally. If you are several decades older, watch a 5-year-old first.

Leaf-diving is about letting go and reveling in nature.

Feeling a little cautious? Start slowly with a solid jump right into the middle — feet or bottom first, your pick. Once you are waist-high in leaves, you'll loosen up.

Want to dive full-force into nature? Try a Nestea plunge and just fall back into a pile of autumn goodness. (But remember depth and density — see "Picking the Pile" — we don't want anybody with a busted noggin.)

Once you've dived into the leaf pile, what then?

Toss a few handfuls of leaves in the air, then prepare the pile for the next person.
