Rami talks about his time on "Project Runway"
Rami Kashou might not have won the $100,000 first prize on "Project Runway" lasr week, but he did make it to the final three and, hopefully, the worldwide exposure of his talents will serve as a springboard for major success for this talented man. He spoke with AfterElton.com about the experience and here are a few nibbles:
On the judging: "Because my work is specific, and because it stands out, I was bashed for it. Yet, the first time they saw it, I won the challenge. So in a way, that sort of revealed to me that there is some type of an agenda. It's their agenda, it's their show"
On his sexuality: "I don't really push the gay thing, nor do I hide it. Really I push my work. Of course, it's about us, we're people. But it's really more about a product that I would hope people would learn more about, and if other questions fall in about me personally, I'm happy to answer them."
On his future: "I think I'm successful in terms of creating a brand that is acknowledged, and a reputation, yet still needing backing in terms of finance. So it's a question of successful in the PR department, in reaching out to certain celebrities and making collections, staying above water and doing what I love, but still waiting for that moment when I can have investors behind my company."

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
