I’ve seen a lot of pumpkins lately (way before Halloween), so I thought for Halloween I’d take you on a pumpkin walk. You get all the pumpkins, and none of the crowds, lines, mud and wind. You’re welcome. Don’t forget your flashlight. Let’s get going.
We’ll start with my attempt at Mr. Happy.
Aren’t they purrrrrty?
With the crowds, sometimes, you have to be patient…like this woman waiting for face painting for her child.
Happy Halloween!
And if that’s not enough pumpkins, you can go here to see more.

Because she then opened my contact lens case (oh yes wait for it) where my newest pair of lenses lay sleeping in their cool bed of solution), pulled out a lens and (here’s where the creativity comes in) using the floss stick, cut my lens in half. Just like Emeril slicing goat cheese. BAM!
“My eyes! My eyes! Too sunny!”
Please come away from your computer and get me another bone. I’m withering away here. Thx.
Kenley‘s outfits were….colorful, with a nautical rope theme (naturally!), so let’s call it S.S. Seuss. Some I liked, some looked silly to me, and some were probably nicer than appeared on tv. I think we just don’t get the real feel of these garments a lot of the time. And apparently some of Kenley’s were identical to other designers’ work. Oops. I must give her credit though, because during the season I felt she repeated herself in her designs, but her collection pieces were not all the same.
Korto‘s line, let’s call it Puffy Sleeves, looked similar enough to be cohesive but different enough to be interesting. I think her stuff was too flowy to win. Flowy IS a word. As of now. Remember that German woman with the flowy Miami clothes from a couple of season’s ago? Also cool, flattering, but flowy. Flowy will not win in NYC. They don’t do flowy. Not sure why, maybe it’s a safety issue. Muggers could grab you when you tried to get away?
Leanne‘s collection also had movement, but not flowy. No, hers was more rippley, than flowy, so let’s call it Accordion. I thought her theme was overdone and pieces looked too similar, in an accordion kind of way. I liked it the first couple of times…. Also, I had a suit skirt with regular pleats once, and I would be more able to change my oil filter than properly iron that thing. Never again. Hey, maybe we need to call Leanne’s collection Oil Filter? And even though it was based on the Willamette River, that great muse, her outfits looked very New Yorky. Yes, also another word. Once again, the TV does not capture the real quality, I believe. Did you notice the judges calling her clothes “blue”?? I don’t know about your tv, but on mine (circa 1999, lo def) they looked green, not even close to blue.
