Let’s start with your name. That’s an unusual name for a Brazilian girl. Yes, and it’s actually Lebanese because that’s where my grandparents are from. Does it mean anything? It actually means inner beauty but I don’t really tell that to anyone that often. Were you shocked as much we were...

We were just watching your exit interview. You’re so funny. So, “big butt/can’t walk” came a long way, huh? I know, it shocked everybody, including myself. Well, you said that when you want something, you go for it with all your heart, and it showed. You kept getting better and growing...

You mentioned in your exit video that you didn’t deserve to be eliminated. Why do you think so? I just feel that my design wasn’t the worst as far as creativity or execution. It was just that unfortunately, I was on the losing team, and I will take responsibility, it was definitely my fault,...

Laura, were you surprised with the outcome of this episode? I was pretty shocked by the outcome. It took quite a while for it to actually sink in. “Is this really happening?” You mentioned that you felt like everyone was ganging up on you. In what way? I was talking to another reporter today...

Kristin? Well, it’s actually Strawberry Shortcake. We were wondering if you read the blog. Yes, I love your blog [laughs]. So, are all your friends going to call you Strawberry Shortcake from now on? Yes, I’m actually really inspired by that nickname, so let’s see what happens with it. We...

Darlings, because he left the show too early for him to develop a hatred of us, Jonny Day, the first of the designers to be sent home from The Fashion Show, sat down with us for a little chat   That was quite an emotional exit interview. Really? I haven’t seen it yet, is it? [Laughs]...

Darlings, expect to see more posts like this as we merge our two blogs into one mega-blogging extravaganza of fabulous. The merging is slow going and there was much cursing and yelling at blogger last night, so getting all the old T Lo posts over here is going to be a process rather than an...

When we found out that Kara Janx won the second annual International Design Awards Competition for sportswear; we gave her a call to chat about it and whatever other topics pop up. One thing we have to say about Kara: she is one of the most charming people we’ve met. She’s funny...

Diana Eng, the squeaky, geeky girl from Season 2 of Project Runway, has a new book out called Fashion Geek. She was sweet enough to send us a couple copies and we have to say, it’s a cute little how-to book that teaches the reader how to incorporate technology into fashion, with fun...

Oh, kittens. Of all the interviews we’ve done (not that we’re Barbara Walters or anything), our interview with Miss Ru was by far the most enjoyable, the easiest, and the one where we laughed the most. She’s as sweet as a cane-sugar Coke and funny and incisive and warm....

Jay McCarroll has two new lines of fabrics coming out (“Garden Friends” and “Woodland Wonderland”), so we took him out to lunch at the Thai place down the street from us and when the three of us weren’t admiring our adorable waiter, we asked him about it.  ...

Our Q&A with f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s Juliet for Metrosource magazine! “Did you feel any pressure coming on board a pop-culture phenomenon like Lost? I think I probably just refused to feel it too much. I just had a baby like six months before, and I was too sleep-deprived to care. Juliet...

Darlings, we’ve had a tough time keeping this one under wraps but in the latest issue of Metrosource magazine, we got the chance to interview our current girl crush, Christina Hendricks, the fabulous Joan Holloway of Mad Men. See, the theme of the issue is “People We Love”...

Darlings, we got our gay on in a big way and sat down with S2 Top Design winner Nathan Thomas. We laughed through the whole thing. Enjoy! Hey Nathan, how are you? Great, I’ve been dying to talk to you guys. Oh my god, really? Have you been reading our blog? Absolutely. You guys are...

We had the pleasure of chatting up S5 runner-up (and some would say, the person who SHOULD have won) Korto Momolu last week about everything from her jewelry to her butt. She is friendly, funny, self-effacing, practical, well-rounded, and just an all-around interesting gal. Enjoy. We did....

We got a chance to do a phone interview with the warm and funny Leanne Marshall the other day. The funny thing was she was having some trouble with her phone and stepped outside to get better reception, which resulted in her yelling “Thank you!” every couple of minutes to...

Since the last show (like every PR finale) focuses on the model casting and the runway show, we sat down with S3 model Amanda Fields to give us an insider’s look at the whole process and the life of a hardcore walker. Hello, darling! Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. Fashion...

Friends, family members and just about anybody we meet who’s a fan of the show ask us the same question all the time. “What’s [insert designer name here] really like in person?” Time and time again, we give the same answer. “They’re exactly like what you...

The day after her aufing aired, Stella dropped us a line and told us she wanted to send a little message of thanks to our readers for being so supportive of her. We opted to call her and let her say whatever she wanted, but when we did, she informed us that her father had passed away suddenly...

So Lorenzo’s phone rings last week and he’s greeted with a voice and accent that could only be Cheroin’s. “This is Stella. Is this Tom or Lorenzo?” She is a DOLL and just called to tell us that we asked “really good questions” in the interview we sent...
