You see what I did? I took the
"you're out" catchphrase from Project Runway and made it about homosexuality! Applaud me for my
cleverness! ... Okay, don't. On to my point: The fashion industry has plenty of gay designers (shock, surprise) so it's
not that startling to see more than a few on a reality show about fashion design. This season, there were a few brief
discussions about sexual orientation, including some stories that let us better understand and appreciate the designers
(like Daniel Vosovic's background and how accepting his parents were when he finally came out). Well, I was reading this
article/interview with some of the designers
about sex advice (I swear, a friend sent this to me) and was surprised to read that Zulema (aka She-tangi) is a
lesbian. A married one, at that.We were very familiar with the gay men from the show, so why did we not know about Zulema? According to Zulema, she did talk about her wife and lifestyle while the cameras were on, none of it made it to air. Any thoughts on why they didn't show Zulema's story? Was it because she had already been placed into a reality show role (as The Bitch)? Or was it because they ran out of time because they were so busy making Daniel Franco look like the biggest creep ever?

I am not surprised to hear that there are pieces of the designers lives that we did not hear about because we did not learn anything about the final three until the end of the show. How could they not bring up that Chloe had EIGHT sisters and grew up in a family PRISON? To me, that is a lot more surprising...
