		<description>I usually don&#039;t write into these types of things because there will always be haters but just to clarify a few things--The dress is made out of condoms because every designer (15 0r so) is making one out of condoms. That&#039;s the point of the benefit show. My dress is closing the show with the wedding gown. Try making a dress entirely out of condoms. It&#039;s not easy. I have the glue gun burn to prove it.

I am not interested in fame. In fact sometimes what little celebrity I have is cumbersome. I am interested in 2 things: paying my mortgage and promoting HIV education and awareness. If &quot;fame&quot; helps me do that then there you go. As far as the new TV show is concerned--they came to me. It may happen, it may not. I&#039;m just promoting it when I can because having a job in this economy is always a perk. 

And regarding my tattoos--Yes the stars are not that original but I love them. To each his own.

Be good to each other.

		<description>Darth Paul - forget his tats, HE himself is a &quot;stupid cliche&quot;.

and DavidDust(no.11) I think implying that people are commenting negatively on him because he is HIV positive is making a pretty BOLD/SHOCKING argument/statement to make. 

Anything to back it up? If not that&#039;s the kind of poison/blind judgments that we really DONT NEED thrown around in a discussion.

and I dont think Jack does anything these days &quot;simply&quot; for the benefit of someone else. He wants to be a celebrity after all. Why else is he currently shopping around a reality tv show starring himself and one other project runway alumni to the studios?

If you whore yourself out for fame/celebrity then your free game for the &quot;snarky&quot; comments and more. 

Because he is gay, HIV positive and was on a couple episodes of a TV show doesn&#039;t make him a gay icon, at least not in my book. 

FYI - That &quot;thing&quot; he made is a creative blunder at the very best.</description>

		<description>Wow!  Unbelievable to comment so negatively on something so positive.  It&#039;s so true what they say...when people say something negative about others, it&#039;s directly screaming out about their own inadequacies or insecurities.  Go get help!  This event will rock!!!!</description>

		<description>That people are having some fun with HIV related  educational subjects is great. Morbidity falls off in getting attention after a while.</description>

		<description>I am normally one of the snarkiest bitches on the internet, and I write Project Runway recaps that can be extremely critical of the &quot;fashiontestants&quot;.  And I must say, I wasn&#039;t kind to Mr. Mackenroth when he was on the show.

But a few months ago I met the man in person, and I have to say he was the sweetest guy you will ever meet.  So I find this hatred of an HIV-positive gay man, for no apparent reason, to be repulsive.

There is a time and place to be angry and evil and call people out for being horrible (McCain, Bush, Palin, Bitches that Talk in Movie Theaters) but Jack Mackenroth is simply trying to raise some money for charity.

Don&#039;t hate, TOLERATE.

XOXO

		<description>If one can&#039;t be snarky on a blog site, when can one be snarky, really? 

And Please, the dress sounds ghastly whether he&#039;s doing it for charity or profit or just for giggles.</description>
