BPR Interview with Dom Streater, Continued

BPR:  This is Laura Kluvo with Blogging Project Runway and I'm on the phone with All-Star Season 5 finalist Dom Streater, Hi Dom!

DS:  Hi Laura!

BPR:  Congratulations on making it to the finale again!

DS:  Thanks.

BPR:  As a former winner, do you feel that the judges held you to a higher standard?

DS:  Yes and no.  I feel like even though they knew that I won my season, they probably considered me to be at the same level and ability as the other All-Stars. 

BPR:  When you arrived and saw the other All-Stars, who did you feel would be your biggest competition?

DS:  Alexander and Ken.  They were from my season and I was aware of what they could do.

BPR:  Okay, let's talk about your personal life....  You recently married.  Please tell us about your husband.

DS: I've known Ivan for about six years.  We've been together for about four.  We actually met when we were both doing cancer research at the University of Pennsylvania.  We've been together ever since.

BPR:  And when is your baby due?

DS:  June 19th - so soon.

BPR:  Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?

DS:  Yes, she's a girl!

BPR:  Do you have her wardrobe all designed?

DS:  Yes, but you know as soon as I announced my pregnancy I have been receiving all kinds of clothes.  Come on guys, I need a crib!

BPR:  How exciting!  Dom, who is your best friend from the All-Star cast?

DS:  Definitely Ken, Asha and Sam.  We developed a real camaraderie during the season.

BPR:  Which was your favorite challenge?

DS: Come on - the print challenge.

BPR:  What are you working on now?

DS:  I am working on developing my line of caftans, dresses and jackets.  My best sellers with customers are always dresses and jackets so I am focusing on these.  I will have some really cool prints coming out this summer. Of course I am thinking about a possible line of kids wear.  It's like a whole new world...

BPR:  Dom, we are almost out of time, is there anything else you would like to say to your fans?

DS:  Thanks for the support.  It's amazing reading the commentary on the show.  I appreciate reading the nice compliments - especially at eight months pregnant and totally hormonal.  Thank you for the support. 

BPR:  Thank you Dom.

DS:  Thank you Laura.
