You know, we never thought Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady would last this long. Especially, after that whole baby mama drama incident with Bridget Moynahan and Tom (ahem, Tom left her while she was pregnant for Gisele).

But the Brazilian supermodel and NFL superstar have weathered the storm, and to celebrate, Gisele is creating a super special calendar for her man's birthday on August 4th. Vogue UK reports, "She has got some racy lingerie shots, a birthday cake shot for August - and the expected picture of her in knee socks and his jersey!"

Eh, it's not really original. Considering, well, a sneak peak of the photos can probably be seen in last month's issue of GQ: disheveled hair. intense gazes, and lots of exposed tan skin. However, we imagine he'll flip over it. Just like every other blue-blooded man in America wishing they could switch places with him. If only for a day...

We just found out about this poster sized calendar, with a bubble to pop for every day. We are nearly speechless with desire and obviously we're not we're not alone because 2008 is completely sold out.

This is a serious sized calendar at 48"x18" and it comes in both landscape and horizontal orientations. The font is designer classic Helvetica Neue. US holidays are marked and weekends are set in bold to make it easy to see them.

You can order it printed on 100 lb glossy paper for $29.95 or get a limited edition printed on clear acetate for $49.95.

And did we mention you get to pop a bubble every single day? How have we lived this long without this?

Leave your Monk jokes in the comments. We don't care. We'll be popping virtual bubble wrap while we wait breathlessly for our our 2009 calendar to arrive.

The ever-stylish and suave Tim Gunn, chairman of the fashion design department at Parsons the New School for Design and my favorite part of Bravo TV's Project Runway, reports that architectural design professionals "All hate fashion".

While this may seem unlikely, given that clothing and architectural design are similar in so many ways, Gunn insists that it is so. "I had a colleague tell me that fashion is the lowest form of culture," says Gunn, in an interview with the New York Times. Never one to be rattled by much, Gunn insists that he is not offended by the animosity. "They're [fashion and architecture] both an infrastructure on which to put a skin or surface," he explains, and goes on to tell the story of how he first fell in love with architecture.

The story centers around a calendar the 10-year old Gunn received from his grandmother at Christmas. Each month of the calendar featured a French chateau to cut out and assemble, and by New Year's Day, Gunn had finished the entire calendar. Gunn moved on to designing and assembling his sister's Barbie houses, and with those types of accomplishments under his belt, found his first adult job after art school designing models for an architecture firm.

With a distinguished career built upon fashion and clothing design rather than architecture, Gunn has turned his love for building model homes into a hobby. He collects pop-up books of buildings and carefully searches for furniture and cupboard pieces that emit the aura of the perfect architectural aesthetic.
