S16: Kenya Freeman

[Drogo]

Discuss Kenya here!

[Guest]

She could end up being my favorite,  but the judges hate ready to wear. She had some gorgeous shots,  though.

I hope Kenya wins. I love her aesthetic. When they were showing snapshots of her designs on tonight's episode, I was thinking that I needed basically all of it.

The Atlanta Journal/Constitution had a nice interview w/ Kenya. I like her even more now. About her eyerolls: “I have no poker face. I’m bald. All I have are my eyebrows. You see every freaking expression. They were accurate. My eyes are always rolling in my head."

Was there ever a backstory on that?  It's bugged me for a while now.  Thought maybe it was her power up or something, lol.

I assume it's a shout-out to her heritage, which is great, but this particular version I find tacky and overused by her.  A necklace/bracelet would be more subtle and still a sign of respect/acknowledgement.

I wonder if the scarf has helped her stay in.  Her talking head comments are some of the best of the season and since she has the same (no) hairstyle and scarf in every one of them, it must be easy to edit her observations into virtually any episode no matter when she actually said them.

I apologize for saying "tacky". Wrong word, and not at all how I find Kenya.  Unsophisticated maybe?

I don't remember her wearing a scarf so I googled.  Images doesn't show one pic of her wearing a scarf!  Lol. 

[Brookside]

I'd say that I meant shawl, but I've already had my wrists slapped.

[Locutus]

I like her. She looks like a cartoon character.

Kenya calls it a scarf.   "Her scarf was like her security blanket: “People on social media wondered if my scarf was hygienic. I washed it every other day. I’ve had it for seven y ears. As careless as I am, I cannot lose it. It seems to find me. I get cold really easily. It’s an easy thing to have. It gives me comfort. I know that’s weird.”

I thought it was something she was using to cover her breasts.
