Three in a Row for Mondo

by Chexy on September 30, 2010

Denver’s own Mondo Guerra, 32, won his third challenge on last night’s “Project Runway,” with a dazzling high-waisted pant based on a personally designed fabric that revealed his secret: he’s been HIV positive for ten years.

And he didn’t win it with pity — his clothes were again the best of the lot, and the judges had clearly made up their minds before his disclosure.

In an emotionally contained reveal, the brave young man told his story in a plaintive tone that was both touching, inspiring and valiant. That tiny thing wearing those frivolous short pants and high socks is one brave dude.

Sometimes the biggest sissies are the most macho men.

Gabby Chic

“The Big C” actress Gabourey Sidibe, seen looking precious outside of what appears to be a freight entrance, at last night’s “Social Network” premiere in NYC, and…

a room for a catered party.

So alike, and yet only one shows a lot of food.

The Luckiest SOB in Sweden

by Chexy on September 29, 2010

That crisp nerd is the former Daniel Westling, newly titled Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland, that’s pronounced “Västergötland.”

The Prince is in France on an official visit with the chinsome Princess Vicki.

Before hooking up with Princess Victoria, Dan was a personal trainer and gym owner!

In May, 2009, his father gave him… wait for it… a kidney!

On his June 2010 wedding day, Westling was made a Prince of Sweden and granted the style “Royal Highness,” making him an official member of the Swedish Royal Family, and he moved into Haga Palace.

The tres gallant French President Nicolas Sarkozy kisses the not-so-dainty mitt of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, as Carla Bruni-Sarkozy works the hell out of a gray pantsuit, as seen in the courtyard of Elysee Palace on Tuesday.

Standing on the right is the dorkalicious Prince Daniel of Sweden, who is silently communicating with that cute guard.
