Project Runway and Politics

Kenley and Project Runway

Like most Americans, I'm obsessed these days with the great national calamity known as Kenley's Bad Personality. It threatens to overshadow the rest of the news, including that Wall Street thing and that vice presidential debate thing.

Now some of you may ask, who is Kenley? To which I reply: Aren't you a little embarrassed to let the entire world know how clueless you are? Whatever happened to shame??? If someone asks you to name a Supreme Court decision other than Roe v. Wade with which you disagree, we'll forgive you if you can only sputter inanities. But you cannot be forgiven if you know nothing about Kenley and her abrasive personality on Project Runway.

She's one of four contestants left. She's talented, though tends to hit the same note over and over, a kind of 1950s look. She's alienated everyone with her defensiveness and squawkiness. I won't give away what happened last night, in case you haven't seen the episode yet. (You can see the clash of personalities and Kenley's personal Three Mile Island meltdown at the Project Runway site.) But the fact that she's still around is probably because of an executive decree from the show's producers, who, if you pay very close attention to words that flash momentarily at the end of the episode, offer "input" on the crucial decision of who gets to stay and who is out. They know that Kenley makes good TV. People like to have someone to root against. The squabbling backstage, the tears, the name-calling, the "emo" personalities -- great TV!

Fortunately our political process has not become so corrupt as to allow cults of personality to take precedence over competence and intelligence. Right?????

Re: Project Runway and Politics

  • Oh, Kenley... I love her style, although she is kind of a one-note-wonder. But she is soooo annoying! She can't take criticism, and she's incredibly arrogrant. I think she's gotten more annoying as the season has progressed. I haven't watched last night's ep yet, so I don't know who was eliminated, but I won't be sorry if it was her.

  • All through the episode last night she was complaining about how she's been an outcast all her life, how no one likes her, blah, blah, blah. At what point in your life do you realize that the only common denominator in these situations is YOU before you do something to change it? Ugh, I'm so over her.

  • Good to see Hollywood got the talking points from the left. It would be a corruption of democracy to vote in a ditz. Gotcha. I guess they're all voting 3rd party b/c the other "empty suit" in this election is on the top of the Dem ticket. What to do.... what to do.....

    lol, I noticed that he was intentionally vague on who he was referring to in the last paragraph.  I figure the libs could infer that he was talking about Palin and the conservatives could infer that he was talking about Obama.  Both are being accused of having evidently the worst characteristic ever...an appealing personality.  Smile

  • Oh I know this guy was referring to Palin b/c of the 2nd paragraph. My comment was mocking whoever wrote this.
