I don't blog that much about all the reality TV I watch, but you guys, this week's PR was kind of awesomesauce!
While I know USian reality TV can be and frequently is just as problematic in terms of social justice as US network shows, how often do you get a character on scripted shows who is Latino, gay, and HIV-positive? Making awesomesauce clothes to boot!
I've been rooting for Mondo from pretty early on because I love the way his outfits are bright and colorful and cheerful in a way that I completely don't expect, but now I am super rooting for him! Also wanted to squeeze him last week when he was like, "Well, I left Denver with $14 in my bank account... now I guess I have twenty thousand... and fourteen dollars?"
Also, his curly hair on the runway this week was fab, as was his Cabaret MC-esque outfit from the Jackie O challenge.
Also also, I just went back to the Project Rungay meet Mondo post (and Andy, whom I also like), and it is kind of awesome that his fashion icons are Pee Wee Herman and David Bowie, he has recently been inspired by sf/f post-apocalyptic movies, and he wishes they'd bring back the drag queen challenge. Me too, Mondo, ME TOO.
