Alex's article was fantastic - I loved the part: what to wear when breaking up and meeting a guy's parents. Do you remember what you wore when meeting Alex' family?

Gina seems terribly stiff on the show, but I guess, I was wrong!

I love Nina Garcia! I think she has to appear scary on the show, but I think she is fierce!

Jovana M. said...

Fun interview! Lucky Alex... I like Nina. While she is scary on the show I think she is down-to-earth as shown by other Colombian women Shakira and Sofia Vergara. :)

Vfriedrich said...

Wonderful article! I loved every line...she seems to be very grounded and empathetic to us women who grapple with fashion decisions on a daily basis. XOXO Valerie
