In Part One of our rare interview with 'America's Next Top Model' personality J. Alexander a.k.a. Miss Jay, the androgynous fashion expert gave us the inside view of the season finale of the wildly popular Tyra Banks-produced show -- and then some.

In the second part of the no-holds interview, the dashing, dark-skinned diva waxes poetic about an array of subjects, including family matters, his relationship with 'Vogue' editor Andre Leon Talley, 'Top Model's' most famous winner Eva Pigford, and being black and fabulous.

But before we get into that, there's more to know about the man born Alexander Jenkins, the seventh of 10 children, in the South Bronx, New York.

He began his career working the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier in New York City as a clotheshorse.

After a modeling stint in Tokyo, he eventually decided to settle in Paris, and since 1991, is a preferred contact for casting and coaching runway models for well-known designers, including Valentino, Galliano, Bill Blass, Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Nina Ricci.

His outlandish sense of style, has put him in high demand in the world of fashion and modeling with his studio serving as a frequent stop for television, newspaper and magazine journalists looking to capture his unique talent and secrets of runway success.

"Yes, I'm crazy, yes I'm zany, yes I'm outrageous but I make sense," the ultra-confident South Bronx native professed. "I know exactly what I'm talking about. I know my s#$%."

Well, let's hear him tell it like it is, in his own words on an array of topics.

On being called "Miss Jay:" "Well my mother always hated people calling me that, but I mean hey. I meet people in the street and they aren't very comfortable with calling me that, especially for heteros ... it's just a name that was given to me because Robin was getting confused with Jay Manuel and me. Of course I walk around in panties and high heels so of course she's going to call me Miss Jay by accident."

On growing up, and fame's effect on family: "I never thought of what anyone thought about me so I couldn't give a s#$%. I just didn't care. I wouldn't say that I was a rebel, I just didn't care. I was just doing my own thing. And right now, [my family] are going through it at work. They are sitting back and listening to all of the comments that are being made of me. And they are under the pressure of who won. And they are celebrities at their workplace and it's just insane. My sister is getting married so I'm going to show up for her wedding which I know is going to be a big huge deal. But I think my life is very simple."

On being black & fabulous: "I realized that my hair was not straight without relaxer. This hair has been getting relaxed and not relaxed, relaxed, chile for 15, 20 goddamn years. And the length has gone from one length to the next. So when I went through my 'wanted to be white stage,' I knew I was black and fabulous. I wanted my mother and father to get divorced because I saw one of my white friends out of the neighborhood tell their stepmothers and stepfather, 'You're not my mother, you're not my father, you cant tell me what to do' so I wanted to be the same way."

On 'Top Model': "Once I shoot, I go back to Europe where I live. I don't live in the U.S. of A so therefore half the stuff I detach myself from it. That's the only way I can stay sane. I've made guest appearances on other 'Top Models,' like in Scandinavia...I've been all over the Swedish TV before 'Top Model.' I've had a career before 'Top Model.' What 'Top Model' has done has just placed me in the eyes of people who don't have to go and pay their cable bills to get me."

On real fashion and 'Top Model' contestants:"What's real fashion? I'm talking about the serious industry, the serious fashion industry where these girls are going and moving forward. Somebody needs to take all of these girls from 'Top Model' and guide them through their careers. I mean, after the TV show is over, they just think that they are supposed to have everything done for them. No, they have to bust their asses. If you want to be at the top like most of these girls who be in all of these runways, lets face it doesn't stop with getting kicked off the show, you have to continue to go forward and put yourself out there."

On 'Top Model' winner Eva Pigford: "Eva just makes herself available for all of these events, all of these carpets, all of these different parties just to keep herself seen. She did, by season three, take that show single handedly and kind of put out there that you can be all over the place if you are on Americas next top model. I think Nicole from season five, if she gets a better attitude I think she can really do quite well. Great body, great look and always took a great picture but her attitude was really, really funky."

On Andre Leon Talley being his role model: "In a way because he's just so iconic. Andre Leon Talley is so iconic in the fashion industry. And he was very supportive of me even before 'Top Model.' He was very supportive of my talent. And that's how I got down there to Savannah (for the event). And once I've came down here, they've been bringing me back ever since."

On an encouraged comedy career: "Jay Manuel keeps telling me 'Jay, please let me finance a one man show for you. All you need is a stage and a mike because you are a mess."

On dealing with the public: "People are asking me questions on the street here, they are insane. And I happen to go with a friend of mine one day, just shopping, in Wal-Mart. Why did I do that on a Saturday? Because your people are quite special, and they get out of hand when they see another black child so they get all excited and they kind of get over the top, and they start screaming and everybody wants to hug and kiss and I'm not into the hugging. I'm not into the kissing. And they all talk about their favorite model from each season ... I knocked a lot of people in the nose and knocked a lot of people in the head and knocked a lot of people in the chest for grabbing up on Miss Jay. You can't be doing that, because I think you're trying to rob me. I had to bust a girl's nose in Atlanta in the airport. She hit me in the back trying to get my attention, and she hit me so hard my reflexes kicked in and I just knocked the s#$% out of her."
