You know what Kenley needs?

And no, not a smack across the face with the heavy hand of shut the eff up. (Though that might help.) Instead of being on Project Runway, she needs to be a contestant on America’s Next Top Model. I’m not saying this because seeing her in that pop outfit last night made me realize how gorgeous she is. Though I will admit she’s cute. But she needs to be on America’s Next Top Model because there is no way in hell Tyra would let her continuously get away with talking back to the judges week after week. Tyra would have put a stop to that immediately with her mama bear ways. “You need to listen. We’re trying to help you.” And next week if Kenley kept it up, she would be booted, just like our poor misguided Nikeysha. (Although I think Nikeysha was eliminated just in time for makeovers, because seriously, what would you have done with that hair?) Oh imagine if Janice Dickinson were still a judge while Kenley was a hypothetical smack-talking contestant? Sigh. A boy can dream.

  1. It’s sad cause I loved Kenley at first… Then her personality came out.
    I STILL MISS STELLA!!!
    Oh, and speaking of ANTM and Tyra, I’ll never forget when she yelled at Tiffany…. amazing.

  2. I don’t watch ANTM, so I don’t get any of the references you make BUT, I totally agree with your first suggestion for Kenley!

    And in fact, last night the judges, or the producers, or whomever made the excremental decision to keep Kenley and auf Suede needs to be slapped upside the head with a handful of righteousness! come ON…what a joke.

    BTW, Craiggers, Dave S. and I have a post on my blog every Wednesday night regarding the PR episode. You should ignore this shameless plug and stop by and check it out.

    HUGS…

    Polt: I follow your and Dave’s posts on your blog and they are great. I will post there later tonight.

    Like Nicky, I liked Kenley at first, but I am amazed at how such a pretty woman can be such an ugly person. She looked amazing last night (her thighs were pretty hot) but she is repellent. Her behavior on the runway is unprofessional, her treatment of Tim is deplorable and her inability to accept feedback will ruin her (and blaming Leanne for failing to sell her outfit? bitch please). I would feel bad for her if she weren’t such a c-bomb all the time.

    I agree that she should have gone home last night, but after three weeks in the bottom three, Suede had to go. My only hope is they get rid of her next week.

  4. Kenley is a complete and utter biotch. And Tim setting her straight was awesome. Loved him for it. Even though it didn’t stop her from inwardly rolling her eyes. What a hideous person.

    And have I said before that Leanne is a major hunktress? I would’ve *killed* to see her in Jerrel’s outfit rather than Kenley… :-P

    Oh, and speaking of Project Runway: Remember Kelli Martin who got booted a few weeks ago? Her shop’s just a few blocks from my house. :-) It’s called “Black Market” and she’s got some kick-ass designs in her window.

  5. john

    Dave S.: TESTIFY! Leanne *is* the hotness. Her little rap last night was adorable. She can measure my inseam any day.

    I loved that Tim put Kenley in her place and even more when Korto told her to go away while Korto and Leanne were working together.

    That is cool that Kelli’s store is so close to you. I liked her and would have liked to see her stay longer.

  6. Regardless of how annoying Kenley is, I was never impressed with Suede’s designs. He should have gone home weeks ago.

    And was anyone else uncomfortable with the major outline of Jerell’s peen? Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. It was out and proud!

  7. They did seem to give us a deliberate upclose on Jerell’s nasty bits. What was up with that camera guy? Couldn’t resist I suppose.

    I liked Kenley at first but now I don’t. She’s not open to learning anything new. That’s never good in any field.

    I also have not been impressed with Suede, BUT last night was not fair. Suede was boring (cept for the Jerell crotch shot) but Kenley’s design was a white hot mess that missed on every possible level. She should have been out. I was stunned that she got to stay.

  8. At first I was a big Kenley/Kelli fan, but now I’m in love with Leanne, even though last night I thought her outfit was a bit wonky… I had the same problem with Jerell’s pants too, I couldn’t stop staring at his junk.

    Dave, I’m now super jealous of you! That is too cool that Kelli’s shop it close to you!

    Craig, by any chance do you watch Tabitha’s Salon Takeover and Top Design too? Along with Shear Genius and Project Runway they are a few of my other Bravo favorites ; )

  9. Craig: Polt mentioned Jerell’s peepee, but I didn’t notice it. Guess I was paying too much attention to that cool vest.

    Suede had moments of genius — like Jerell’s vest — but overall he was disappointing. I mean, neither he nor Kenley were ever going to make it in the top three anyway, so ultimately I guess it didn’t matter which one went home first. But I just don’t like Kenley. And that “hip-hop” outfit of hers was awful.

  10. Nicole: Tabitha’s Salon Takeover is so damn addictive! Once I start watching it I just can’t stop. It’s like this awesome train wreck that you simply *must* stare at…

    I don’t get to watch Top Design because I have to write the Project Runway review with Polt for his site, but it looks intriguing.

  11. Nicole: No, Project Runway is the only Bravo show I watch. The others look really good, but the prospect of adding another show to my TV schedule worries me.

  12. john

    I’ll third Tabatha’s Salon Takeover. She doesn’t take crap from anyone and it is interesting to see her slap people back to reality.

    I did notice Jerell’s junk in those pants and immediately thought of Polt. I noticed it less on the runway and more during the fitting when Suede asked if he could adjust the front of the pants. I also loved when Leanne told Kenley she was grabbing her crotch when she was fitting her “high-waisted hip hop jeans”.

    Oh and can someone explain what Heidie meant by suggesting that making jeans out of leather would have made them more special? Wouldn’t that have made them leather pants and not jeans?

    Suede should have gone a few weeks ago. I’m very surprised he made it as far as he did. He has talent, but some of the other remaining designers are way ahead of him.

    My prediction is Korto will win, despite my love of Leanne.

  13. GoKitty

    I actually liked Suede’s outfit last nite and I dont think he deserved to go home. If they judge based solely on the challenge before them, I would have sent away Leanne even though I like her. Her interpretation of “country” was pretty weak in my opinion. I know you dont want to get costumey but if i saw that outfit i would not think “country”, I would think “home project”.

  14. Claudia

    Tyra would just like unhinge her jaw and swallow Kenleys head. Korto for the win! I love her “I’m barely tolerating these retards” attitude.

  15. suede definitely has had an auf coming for WEEKS, but DEAR GOD was that messed up last night. if kenley pulls it out next week and somehow makes it to fashion week i’m going to vomit.

    ps: for your post on ANTM – dude, i know! it was unprofessional, sure, but GET OVER IT! she’s a lovely model.. i can’t believe she was nearly kicked off when all they had to say was “don’t do that again” to rectify the problem!

  16. GoKitty: **GASP** You would’ve sent Leannimal home?! Blasphemy! (Careful — I’ll sic john on you…) ;-)

  17. Yeah…. Jerell’s p33n was pretty OOC (out of control, for you non-Mariah Carey fans).

    As for Bravo, I only watch Project Runway (confirmed to move to Lifetime) and My Life on the D-List (in talks of moving to Lifetime) so soon I may not watch Bravo at all.

  18. Ryan R.

    Watching this episode, I was excited because Kenley was going to go, ensuring my pick for the final three. Kenley has enough variability in quality if not style that I fear she may sneak past another designer if they stumble. Suede is more consistently average that there was less of a chance of him slipping past the top three.

    Kenley earned some points with me by laughing at Daniel. Anyone who talks about impeccable taste while standing next to proof of his peccata deserves to be taken down a notch. However, she lost those points when she continued to be mean to people who didn’t deserve it, decided to ignore Tim consistently, and didn’t wow me with her designs.

  19. I’m rooting for Korto also. I like Leanne a lot, but I usually like Korto’s designs better. She can be a bit of a Debbie Downer, but it just makes me love her even more when she comes out with something really funny. Like when she said that with Stella gone, she was the new queen of leathah.

  20. What’s all the hating on Jerell’s junk showing? Look, if a dude’s got the equipment of a large land mammal, and someone else puts him in something little more than an overly stretched ace bandage, how is it HIS fault if he’s showing the jewels?

    I noticed about three obvious shots of his crotch during the show. You people that only noticed it once, you just weren’t trying. :)

    HUGS….

  21. Polt: Hey, if I had the junk, was on a reality show, and was squeezed into a pair of skinny pants, I’d be showing it off too.

    Okay, not really. :-P

    Of course, I didn’t notice his wanky-bulge at all, so what do I know? Besides, you were supposed to be evaluating the *fashion*, Polt… ;-)

  22. haha. Yeah, I noticed it a few times. My friends were like “Look, it’s you!” since I often walk around in boxer briefs to be a show off
    XD

    And yeah, Korto is my fave at the moment. I feel like Leanne COULD win, but I want Korto to win more.

  23. john

    Dave S.: How could you *not* notice it. The camera guy held te camera on it for about 5 seconds while Suede was saying how complex the pants were. And, with all do respect, can we avoid taking about your junk? The abs are enough thank you.

    Polt: I’m not faulting Jerell at all. As far as I’m concerned, that was good advertising for him.

    GoKitty: Not Leannimal! We loves her!. I will agree that Korto is more consistent than Leanne, but I think Leanne, Korto and Jerell are definitely the top 3.

    And while we are at it, Korto’s back yard was looking mighty fine in that skirt.

  24. john: Hey, it’s Nicky that’s sayin’ he’s got the junk, not me! And, Nicky, quit yer bragging!

  25. Dave S., I thought Jerell’s junk exposition WAS quite fashionable! Perhaps they could have had a challenge where they designed an outfit which showed his junk off the best. (or is that just the dream I had? Or a porno I saw…..)

    Frankly, from what I’ve seen, I’m rooting for Jerell now (I mean his outfits the last few weeks, NOT his junk!). I’ve never been a fan of Korto, even though she does good work usually. And Leannimal, she’s disappointed me that last few times. Not that she sent something bad down the runway, just that I expected better of her.

    And Nicky, after all this talking, I think we need to see a photo of you in your boxer briefs, so we can decide if you can walk the walk after talking the talk. :)

    HUGS…

  26. I’m definitely not rooting for Jerell. I just don’t like his style. The judges have picked him a couple of times when I felt he missed the mark, so maybe there’s something there that I’m not seeing (kinda like his apparently bulbous wee-wee), but I think Korto and Leanne are much better.

    Personally, I think Leanne’s going to kick butt when the top 3 do their runway shows.

  27. GoKitty

    I like Leanne! I just didnt like her design in that last challenge but I do agree she got a very hard genre of music to design and not make look like a costume. I know you all will crucify me for this but I didnt think Kenley’s design was THAT bad last nite. Yes, the crotch was bizarro but I think the overall design harkened back to early hip-hop and reminded me of something M.I.A would wear. I still hate the bitch, but I didnt think it was that bad.

    I really am rooting for Korta to win. I think she’s great both technically and design-wise. And as Craig stated, I love her “Droopy the dog” attitude.

  28. Ryan R.

    His well received exposition of Jerell is even more evidence that Suede shouldn’t have gone home last night.

  29. Can we also take a moment to discuss how absolutely ballsy it was for Korto to spend all that time making a great pair of jeans, just bleach it! Imagine if it came out as a disaster? What would she have done? Props.

  30. Bernd

    The judges and producers had their heads up their asses last night. Jerrel deserved the win, his outfit was stylish, fresh, sexy and Mean-girl looked fab in it. Korto designed a t-shirt and a pair of pants, ohhh puuhleeezzze. The T-shirt looked kinda cool but the pink bleach-spots on the pants were pathetic.

    Kenley so derserved the auf over Suede.

    Craig, if I weren’t off the market I’d ask you to marry me. You watch my favorite shows. I couldn’t pay my bf to watch heros with me and our PR discussions last for 30 sec only.

  31. Michelle M.

    Wasn’t pulling for anyone until Korto smiled. Now she’s my favorite. Liked the punk outfit, and I liked Suede for a minute when he was selling it. Kenley – ugh (john, you’re right on – pretty on the outside…).
    Love. Tim.

  32. Bernd: Sounds like you need to give the boyfriend the boot. Can he by and chance beat the crap out of me? :-P

  33. Michelle: I definitely have a hetero man-crush on Tim since he told off Kenley.

    And what a hilarious guy. His little catch-phrases (“Talk to me,” as he walks up, chin raised as he peers through his bi-focals.) (His hand flip-wave when he says “Just make it work!”) are a riot. I’d hate to be on the receiving end of that over-the-glasses cynical gaze of his though… :-P

  34. Hmm… Craig is right about Korto being ballsy with the jeans. When I first saw the cast for this season, I thought Korto looked cool, and should therefore be a good designer (perfect reasoning, right?!), so it’s funny that she actually grew on me.

    Polt: I actually almost posted a “Jerell-style” pic on my blog… It was the entry I made about going shopping and buying shorts, where I posted a pic of me wearing the shorts. But at the advice of a few friends (and my sister) I photoshopped the pic so you can’t see any Jerellness.

  35. Meg

    Craig, I said the same exact thing this morning. Tyra would have given her the smackdown she needs. I can’t believe she was so awful to Tim!

  36. Nicky: your friends and your sister give bad advice. just sayin…. :)

    HUGS…

  37. Bernd

    Craig, he’s not the type for violence. Well, I get my revenge on him by not watching CNBC with him. or reading the Wall Street Journal.

  38. I’ll have to turn in my Gay License tomorrow. While everybody has been watching ANTM,I’ve been watching “The First 48″ and repeats of “Dr. G. Medical Examiner”. Does that make me a “bad gay”?

    I’ve even been Tivo’ing the new season of Sarah Conner, but haven’t watched a single episode. And I have zero interest in PR.

    Oh God!, What’s happening to me????

  39. Michelle M.

    Dave S.: I would go to Red Lobster with Tim anytime.

  40. Wow Bernd! Your boyfriend sounds dorky! And not “Hey, look at me! I like Star Trek and draw cartoons of crime-fighting Viagra pills!” dorky, but like actually smart dorky.

  41. In my limited experience, dorky guys (smart or not) are usually “freaks in the sheets”. Just an observation.

  42. Mark: Have freaky and awkward suddenly become interchangeable?

  43. john

    Michelle M.: But would you tell him what happened to the chiffon?

  44. One man’s awkward is another man’s freaky. If you lose the self consciousness I bet you would be a Total Freak. ;-) Just think about your fantasies, I bet they are really freaky!

    Or maybe that’s my fantasies about you! :-)

  45. My Fantasy: We are sitting on a couch and you are watching ANTM, and I am looking at you adoringly. You wave your empty Coors Light can in front of my face and I scurry to the kitchen to get you a new one. I bring the new beer, open it and hand it to you, all the while your eyes never leave the TV….

    Oh wait, maybe I’m not Freaky or Awkward, maybe I’m just Boring!

  46. COORS LIGHT?!
    Well that would never be a part of my fantasy!
    Mine would be falling in love and getting married and taking showers together and writing each other poetry and growing old together and watching Project Runway together and never getting too old for kissing and stuff.

  47. Nicky: That was my fantasy too, kinda, before I got old and jaded, keep the Hope Alive!

  48. Michelle M.

    john: If I knew where the hell it was.

  49. Since it’s late and nobody will read this I’ll ask a question that has puzzled me for a long time. Why is it so many Gay men fall in “Love” with women? Not sexually but emotionally. It’s obvious I have a crush on Shirley Bassey, but I’m not talking bout stars. My best friend is a woman, and if sex were not an issue I could see myself spending the rest of my life with her. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be with a man, it just means the right man hasn’t come along yet, but Lori has. I could never have sex with a woman (ewww) but at the same time I love one. Screwed up huh?

    I’ll go to bed now and shut up. :-)

  50. Oh my. That’s an excellent fantasy. Kinda creepy that you have a fantasy about me. But it’s a nice one nonetheless. :-P
