PSA: Project Runway Season 5's Kenley



And now, a Public Service Announcement by your host, the Sunshine-y one.

Dear Kenley. You are not the end-all and be-all of fashion. Honey, you are only 25 and have about 4 years of experience as a working designer.

We all get that you are incredibly talented and have a great, albeit predictable, style. I even like vintage. But honestly, do you have to use tulle on every outfit? I like tulle, but come on! Every outfit. And usually part of it is exposed. Every time. Seriously girl, try something a little different. If you make it to Bryant Park it won't be because Nina Garcia actually likes your style, it'll be because somehow your outfits just don't seem to suck! (Which, while trying to find pictures, I discovered that she somehow made it to Bryant Park. Whatever. I hope Korto or Jarrell wins, so there!)

Anyways, back to the issue at hand. When Tim Gunn (pretty much the God of Parsons) suggests that maybe the exposed tulle isn't such a professional look, maybe you could actually take it as what it is, a critique, from someone much wiser than yourself. Instead you get incredibly defensive and say to the cameras, "I'm not going to listen to that" with your little snotty attitude. Where do you get off girl? I know that Tim Gunn doesn't need me to defend him, I'm just trying to help you understand, dear Kenley, that you are your own worst enemy. Your complete innability to take criticism, from either Gunn or the judges, will not help you in the future.

You do not get to put on the Karl Lagerfeld air until you are at least 60, have been wearing the exact same outfit for at least 30 of the past years, and have a multi-million dollar label. When you are showing in Paris, then you can refuse to listen to Tim Gunn's advice. Until then, dear Kenley, shut up and take some criticism like a FREAKING ADULT!
This has been a public service announcement from the Valley of Sunshine. We will now return to our regularly scheduled program.

Oh, Becky, me too! Seriously, I loved him. Whenever I see his little face I get so happy. I don't think that I appreciated him last year as I do now, with all these wannabes. I mean, Blayne. Whatever. He was a poser.

Chrisitan is by far one of my favorites, him and Jeffrey Siebelus. (or however his name is spelled.) Also, really liked Jillian from last year, and Laura from two seasons ago. Their clothes are more wearable than Christians. But his personality was awesome. He was an asset to that show, for sure!

Hot mess, hilarious!

I love the post! My thoughts exactly! We will need to discuss this more in person. Say, on a cruise ship? :)
