Who says a Diva wont get her hands dirty?
Well, she at least dishes the dirt. Neeraja Lockart, the second designer voted off last week HGTVs Design Star, talks to AT. And its good.
#1 -
(Dont be put off by the multiple parts some technical glitches in the recording meant a few starts and stops! Parts 2 & 3 below)...
This no-nonsense lady of style gives really interesting insight into the challenges that we dont see on TV (hint: Could any ATer solve a design dilemma without Googling, or the chance to post a quick Good Question?? Or, heaven forbid, without a cell phone!!?!) She also explains why Sin City doesnt quite measure up, for bar stools or otherwise, to her Palm Springs tastes.
Wed sit next to Neeraja at a cocktail party. Well, maybe, partially because wed be afraid to walk away from her!
Any other surprises? Well, in spite of her ice-princess faade, she spoke very fondly of her cast mates (most of em). She had some issues with Vern Yip (Does the good Yip have an evil Yang?). And, despite some setbacks with the interview itself, she was calm, collected, flexible and funny.
Now we really wish shed be around to go at least one more round with bad-boy Robb. We predict it would have made the Crystal/Alexis throwdowns of yore look like tickle fights.
Remember, each week well be interviewing the latest fallen Star from the cast of Design Star.
And hear all about the show direct from the HGTV VP, Event Programming, James Bolosh, in the interview that kicked off the season of this HGTV ratings powerhouse exclusively for AT readers.

too bad she got the axe but, as team captain and, with unfinished work, well, she had it coming. Alas, I would have loved to see what she would have done on this week's individual challenge.

Is it me, or does she look frighteningly like Donna Karan in that first picture?

I always thought she looked more like one of the Tilly's (Meg or Jennifer)...
