2010-10-02 / Pretty All the Time
If you saw the last episode of Project Runway, I'm sure you were shocked by the news that Mondo is HIV Positive. He's one of my favorite designers. He was so brave and I was moved to tears!

I love him, not just because he is Puerto Rican, but because he's so freakin' hilarious. He was already voted off, but I am looking forward to seeing him on the reunion show.
