Me and Mondo

        

    

 Mondo Guerra has another chance to sweep Project Runway. Vote Here at My Lifetime and read this interview at Metro Source Los Angeles magazine and I am mentioned.. again!  Yes, I am proud I've showed Mondo, as he puts it, "the Ropes" and mentored him for 13 years.. Yeps my son Max brought him home from school to meet me, result.. A soap opera, a few break ups and reconciliations, mega scream-fests and in sickness and health till death do us part.
