Project Run Far Away

Last night, eliminated designers on Project Runway were brought back for one episode to team up in pairs with the remaining contestants. The challenge: create an avant garde look inspired by one of the designers astrological signs. There were some absolutely horrid looks, so much so that the judges must have wished they could eliminate more than two people.

Somehow, Kenly Collins managed to squeak by. If Leanne Marshall is the "Silent Fashion Assassin", Kenly is the "Loud Betty Page Wannabe". She's stuck in the fifties and has skated by in the competition thanks to her above-average tailoring skills. She's also obnoxious, frequently interrupting judges and braying her hyena-eque laughter in the work room with no regard for her fellow designers.

Last night, this woman created a look so bad that it made my teeth hurt. Seriously. I had a panic attack at work earlier today, my first there in over a month, and I'm convinced it stemmed from lingering anguish over having witnessed this.



Alice in Wonderland on crack. Glenda the Good Witch of the North gone wicked south. How Kenly escaped elimination is still amazing to me. Blayne's clown Libra look was hideous, sure, but Kenly over Terri? They should have tossed off all three.
