1. What attracted you to Project Runway?

Part of it was the creativity. Too often, the world of reality television is a vast abyss of bug eating and Machiavelli-like scheming, but at the time it debuted, Project Runway was unique for its focus on the creative process and the types of colorful personalities who are drawn to it. The other part was that we just loved sitting on the couch and judging other people's clothes.

2. As a gay couple, how do you think your viewpoint is different in your 'Fashion Show Reviews' in comparison to other critics?

Well, we don't think the gay part makes much difference at all, except we consciously adopt a somewhat stereotypical gay "voice" in our writing, which gives us a chance to be a little witty and irreverent about it. What really makes a difference is the second word in that phrase: couple. Because there are two of us and because we both have wildly different approaches to fashion it leads to a debate, which leads to a better assessment. Tom has zero background in fashion and prior to meeting Lorenzo, very little interest in it, so he's the one that will sometimes say, "Oh, come ON. That looks RIDICULOUS." But Lorenzo has a background as a stylist and a lifelong love of fashion, so he's the one that will sometimes say, "You have no taste. Here's why." And that back and forth helps the writing (even if it sometimes leads to arguments).

3. What do you think of the recent celebrity red carpet fashions?

We're a bit optimistic. See, the past ten years or so of the red carpet have been dominated by stylists and fashion houses basically telling the stars what to wear and even paying them to wear things in some instances. Plus, we saw the rise of what's called "red carpet commentary," some of which you see on your TV screen, but a lot of which comes from celebrity magazines and bloggers like us. Because of that perennial fear of winding up on a "What was she thinking?" list, most stars are terribly afraid of taking any risks and the red carpet has become a little boring, what with all the high end prom gowns. Gone forever are the days of Demi Moore's bicycle shorts or Barbra Streisand's butt crack showing on the way to the stage to accept her Oscar. But then we see someone like Tilda Swinton come along, who refuses to be told what to wear and has become something of a fashion icon because of the strange beauty of her personal style. It's served her well and we're slowly starting to see some stars take more risks.

4. Can you give our readers some tips on developing an original yet enhanced fashion sense?

Well, the most common issue we see on the street are people (both men and women) not correctly assessing their body type and finding the styles that best suit them. The best thing about fashion today is that the consumer has way more choices than they used to. You're not locked into whatever Vogue says is appropriate for the season. If skinny pants don't suit you, well, you can find a variety of fuller cuts on the racks. If you swore you'd never wear a mini skirt again because of that one unfortunate memory of the fitting room mirror, guess what, skirts come in every length and cut imaginable now. Our advice to anyone who thinks they're in a fashion rut is to go to a department store with a friend who you can trust to speak bluntly, then go crazy on the racks, pulling out items in every cut, color, and style imaginable, and spend the next couple of hours trying everything on and assessing yourself. Too often, people who need a style intervention are in a rut because they've conditioned themselves to buy the same styles and colors over and over again. Break the conditioning! Try on things your mother told you you shouldn't! The salespeople might not like you spending all day in the dressing room but who cares, it's about you. Oh, and one other thing: a size is just a number (or a letter). Don't place any meaning on it. Most of us don't go through life with the burden of a perfect body. There are so many emotional issues at play when it comes to clothing, especially among women. It's not a sin to go up a size if you have to. Buying "someday clothes," as in "someday I'll fit into these" is a guarantee that you just bought something for no good reason. Buy the sizes that fit you NOW and worry about "someday" later. The best clothes are the ones that fit you properly and the most attractive people are the ones who love the way they feel.

5. What do you think about reality TV shows today? What makes you like or dislike them?

Like any genre on television, it has good shows and bad shows. For us, we'll always give any fashion or creative-based reality competition a try. When it comes to celebrity reality shows, the only one we watch with any regularity is Kathy Griffin's. Celebrities somehow got it in their heads that the public is dying to see their day-to-day lives. That only works if the celebrity is engaging and entertaining on their own and without a script in their hands. Otherwise, it's a train wreck. The other end of the spectrum is represented by people who AREN'T celebrities and yet still somehow got the idea that we're all fascinated by them. For example, those execrable "Real Housewives" shows. The few times we ever sat and watched them we thought, "Why on earth would anyone think these horrible people deserve even a moment of our attention?"

6. Apart from Project Runway, what are your other favorite reality TV shows?

Well, like we said, we'll give any fashion-related show a chance, like Launch My Line or The Fashion Show on Bravo, as well as America's Next Top Model and Make Me a Supermodel. We also love Tabatha's Salon Takeover, partially because it's just entertaining as hell to see a take-no-crap woman who knows what she's doing take charge and partially because we know Tabs and we adore her. We tried to get into Top Chef, but since you can't taste the food, you're stuck on the couch trusting the judgment of the judges. Besides, chefs are so infamously egotistical that we sometimes find it (no pun intended) distasteful to watch their rantings and ravings.

And we'll always give a makeover show a chance, but frankly, no one comes close to What Not to Wear with Stacy and Clinton.

7. What plans do you have for the future of your blog?

Just to keep plugging along, doing what we do. We've expanded the scope of topics considerably and now we blog about all sorts of TV shows, from Mad Men to Lost to Glee, as well as a more in depth look at what's going on in fashion. We pull in pretty good numbers, so the next year will be about making the blog its own standalone entity. We pour way more time into it than is healthy, so in order to continue, we have to make it our primary means of making money. It's slow going, but we've made a lot of progress and should have some exciting developments coming up in the next year.

In addition, we're always open to offers from anyone who's willing to make them. In the last year alone, we've had people express an interest in a potential book as well as a potential TV show, and some other developments that we can't talk about yet. Will it all happen? Who knows? We're not about to let our heads get turned around. We're just doing what everyone else does and taking each day as it comes.
