Hi, my name is Maddy Eckler and when I’m a bad girl, my mommy puts me in the freezer. At first, when I was little, I could fit into the kitchen freezer, but when I got too big, she made me go out to the garage’s big one.
It’s cold in there, but mommy says it [...]

Project Runway Dissed Me!
Hi, my name is Sharon Moon and I’m really pissed at Project Runway. They edited me out of Season 3 in every shot! Did you see me sitting next to Vincent the first episode? No. Did you watch MY model workin’ it down the runway? No. In fact, I was treated like Asian women everywhere—invisible!
