Epiphanies are often clichéd. I believe most of us think of that when we have an epiphany we’ve discovered so great new truth when in actuality we’re really just admitting to something we’ve known all along. In the span of 4 hours last night I had 5, count them 5 epiphanies on everything from Runway to my animal magnetism.
Epiphany #1: Angela is this season’s Kara.
Last year I could not understand how Kara Janx made it to the final four of Runway. It seemed like every week her garments lacked style and never conformed to the given theme. Kara also had a knack for dressing her models in garments similar to the one’s she wore everyday. I’ve got a feeling we should expect to see Angela in the final four because she’s following the same pattern right down to dressing her model in the tragic poofy skirt she tends to wear.
Epiphany #2: Runway doesn’t hit full speed until we get under 10 designers.
Did you know Bonnie was still on the show? You might have missed her if you blinked. Hell even Vincent disappeared into the background for most of last night’s show. I’ve read some people saying the show is boring this year but I got the same feeling last year at this time. There are just too many contestants to focus on and as such you get spread to thin trying to keep up. Give it a couple of weeks and everything will be gravy.
Epiphany #3: No matter how cool the design is, dogs still look horrible in clothes.
When I heard the challenge was about one of today’s top fashion accessories I’m thinking iPods, cell phones, maybe even cars but definitely not dog. Big props to Keith for fighting the power and going with the bare minimum on his pooch. (Although he probably shouldn’t have tried to pass off a necklace as his own design.)
Epiphany #4: I’m a shallow, shallow man and that might be okay.
So I’ve been making a concerted effort over the last few years to improve my appearance and how I feel about it. I’ve lost over 50lbs, gone through a wardrobe makeover and started using “products” for skin, hair, etc. While I’ve certainly started feeling good about myself I’ve continued to shoot low and settle when it comes to opposite sex. Take last Saturday night for example. I’m at a...well…I’m not exactly sure what it was so we’ll call it an afterbar, and who do I start making googly eyes at? That’s right the chubby girl with the cute face. While the alcohol was surely clouding my mind I’m pretty sure my train of thought was, “Hey she’s cute and not averting her eyes at the sight of me, I’ll bet I can talk to her because her standards might be as low as mine.” Shallow? You bet ya. Nothing came of the googly eyes as me and my friends were not long for the afterbar but when I woke up the next morning I realized two things; one, I’m an ass and two, if I think I’m looking pretty good these days then other people probably think that too. Of course epiphanies mean shit if you don’t have actions to back them up. Like all things if they aren’t reinforced, they tend to fade away. In fact if I hadn’t gone out for coffee last night this epiphany would probably not have made the list. As I sat drinking my latte the most amazing thing happened, I met an extremely attractive woman who was actually checking me out. Never mind that after having a conversation over coffee, I realized she was a complete idiot. The point was this was just the kind of reinforcement I needed to realize that I’ve got it going on! Oh yeah, it’s my birthday! Go El Dog it’s your birthday!
Epiphany #5: I’m not a very humble man. (see above)
