Project Runway runner-up Laura Bennett took a few of her sons (she has 5) to the premiere of and after-party for documentary of Air Guitar Nation. Laura’s biggest fans ever, Project Rungay‘s Tom and Lorenzo have dubbed her "the coolest mom ever," adding,

Our moms took us to cub scout meetings and violin lessons when wealways secretly wished they would take us to movie premieres. If one ofthose boys isn’t gay, that would be a terrible waste. God couldn’t bethat cruel.

Air Guitar Nation is a documentary directed by Alexandra Lipsitz.

Project Runway's Laura Bennett and son Finn

Our friends over at Project Rungay alerted us to the People magazine spread on Project Runway finalist Laura Bennett and her newborn son Finlay Bennett Shelton. Little Finn was born December 1st, weighing a nice round 8 pounds and joins his five older siblings: half sister Cleo, 18, from Laura’s first marriage, and brothers Peik, 10, Truman, 7, Pierson, 4, and Larson, 3.

Doesn’t Laura look amazing? I have the feeling that after pushing Finn out (glamourously of course), she jumped up and started draping her newest gown. The Project Rungay guys have been invited to visit but have been too busy with work, etc. Can I go instead?

Project Runway's Laura Bennett's baby shower

Natalie — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 05:42:28 +0000

Project Runway finalist Laura Bennett’s baby shower on November 14th and the guys at Project Rungay were invited! The shower took place at the Upper East Side townhouse of one of Laura’s friends and the guests were, as the Project Rungay guys put it, "a roomful of Manhattan Power Bitches" (said in the most respectful way). The theme was Laura, of course, with guests donning black dresses and red wigs.

Here is Laura showing off one of her gifts- a temporary tattoo with all of her children’s names on it, a la Jeffrey Sebelia’s neck tattoo. Her children include Cleo, 18, from Laura’s first marriage, Peik, 10, Truman, 7 (who went unnamed until he was named by others at a cocktail party at 3 months old – they called him ‘the baby’ before!), Pierson, 4, and Larson, 3. Her sixth child (and fifth son) was due November 15.
