Condolences to Stella Zotis

Project Rungay has done another excellent interview with Stella, in which she reveals that her father died the day her auf'ing aired. We're sorry, Stella. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

The interview is, like the other one, an excellent read, and the more I learn about this woman the more she just fucking rawks. She's got a really interesting history - go read!

Also, we learn that some of the Tim snarkery may have been, like the Laura/Keith snarkery, a product of editing. The editors are starting to piss me off this season, with creating fights where there aren't any. If you have to go that far to make shit up, you either cast the wrong people or you're giving out shitty challenges. I mean, you made me hand out a b-slap to Tim Gunn, for fuck's sake. Not okay! Stop making nice people look like bitches and think up better challenges.

You have got to read this great interview that TLo from Project Rungay did with Stella Zotis. This chick is so rad. They really have been editing her as pretty clueless, which isn't all that accurate. She's funny, knows her style, and actually used "Project Runway" to stretch and grow as a designer, not just to get her face on TV and a catchphrase on a T-shirt. The issues she's had and the decisions she's made make a lot more sense now, knowing more about her background and construction methods. Go, go, read!
