In a ploy to keep "The Muppets" fresh in our minds for a possible return to television, Miss Piggy served as a guest judge on this week's episode of Project Runway All Stars. Designing for any celebrity can be difficult, but it can be even more difficult when you aren't familiar with the "celebrity." That was the case for Gordana Gehlhausen and unfortunately she saw an early exit this season. Today, she spoke to RealityWanted and other reporters in a conference call about her time on Project Runway All Stars.

Q: Why did you agree to do Project Runway All Stars?
A: Gordana: I wanted to return because I felt in my season I was a little bit robbed (due to the tension between Bravo and Lifetime). I gained plenty of confidence between my first and second stints on Project Runway. It's nice to be put together with such talented people.

Q: Are you upset with having such an early exit this season?
A: Gordana: I was a little relieved. I was actually quite sick. The second episode I had to take so many breaks and get oxygen and stuff. I was almost relieved to get out, I think, because I wasn't feeling good. I think you can see it on my face.

Q: What was it like designing for Miss Piggy?
A: Gordana: It wasn't any different than designing for any other client. I wasn't really familiar with Miss Piggy because I didn't have the Muppets growing up in Yugoslavia. In this situation it was pretty much like being judged by a client. She told me that she did like my dress, it was just not appropriate for what she needed it for.

Q: Joanna Coles gave you a harsh critique before the runway show. Do you regret not listening to her?
A: Gordana: You can change a little bit, but I only had that fabric and I liked that for my design. I didn't want to change anything. I knew where I was going.

Q: Any reactions from your fans on the dress after seeing the show?
A: Gordana: I have gotten so many comments through my website and Facebook already having people asking me to make the dress for them. Obviously it didn't work for Miss Piggy ... but there are a lot of other people who want me to make it for them.

Project Runway All Stars airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Lifetime.
