That Really Sucked Part 2

Well, you may still love Leanne but I'm not so fond of her after this. I've noticed for the past two weeks that she's kind of mean under that mousy mask and her design sensibility is kind of one note - nothing but noodles. Jerell is a much more interesting designer and Korto seems like the nicest one left. I hope Leanne gets whipped.

You have so much going for you, your youth, your beauty, your brains and a presence that makes you stand out in a crowd. I've never paid attention to the models on this show before you made me notice you.

I hope you keep up the blog and I'll keep checking in to see what new and wonderful adventures you find. All my warmest wishes for your future.

you were the most beautiful model on the show, karalyn. its hard to believe leanne would do that to you. anyway, i'm very sure that we'll be seeing a lot more of you in the future ;-)

also, i am amazed at how you still stood by leanne and her designs in all of your blogs after you were eliminated. cuz of that, you inspired me never to hold any grudges against anybody. thank you for that!

Karalyn, you were my favorite model on the show! I was shocked tonight when Leanne didn't choose you. I wish you all the best - you deserve it.

To be honest, you were the fiercest model on that runway. You're walk is crazy amazing. In my opinion, Leanne was nuts to not pick you, and, for that matter, so were Kenley and Suede for not grabbing you when they had the chance. You and Shannone were easily the best models of the season. I wish you the best!

Karalyn, you were great on the runway in joe's show. YOU shined! I kinda understand where leanne thought Tia was giving suede an advantage, maybe she thought someone would pick you and she could get you back when she won the next challenge and suede lost. who really knows what was going through her mind.
You can be very proud of yourself for not going the bitter whinnie pity me route. You went out with you head up and ROCKED the runway at Bryant Park.!!!!
Congrats to you and your amazing future!

I dont understand why she would pick Tia...not that Tia is ugly or anything...just that she's been with you longer. Maybe Tia's look goes with the look that Leanne's really looking for. It is a competition after all. I hope you guys can still be friends and Leanne loves you =[ Good job at fashion week btw.

Damn....well life goes on =( I still believe leanne loves you though. She proclaimed it to the world on ep 11. Its all about the game. Btw...who the 'f' is Caroline? Are they retarded? That doesnt even sound like Carol-Lynn it sounds like Carol-LINE GG producers

WHAT.

:(

Leanne. Why? I really don't get it. Honestly, you deserved the spread! TOTALLY. Damn it, Tia. >(

Nicki said...

Oh, Kitten, I have really enjoyed reading your blog this season and hearing the insider scoop. Leanne was nuts to let you go. I think you are cute and have a great figure(great comments, btw, on body image). How do you pick one size 2model over another?? Best of luck and we hope to see more of you!

Lisa Teng said...

the preview really fooled me! i thought suede stole you from leanne but it was the other way round. still i'm a bit shocked it happened!

wow! u changed my perception on leanne...the switch was harsh i must say although i sort of understand why she would do this...

it's kinda harsh when designers want to change models at times, wanting what they think is perfect for them.

i hate to admit i'm one of those people (since i'm doing something under fashion). i have felt bad rejecting some girls for a photo shoot as they 'weren't good enough' for me.

however, i was a little ticked off they she picked someone else over you since you have pulled off many of her looks on the runway.

you have been amazing and a lot real than the models i've seen over the past few seasons.

although i'm not a huge fan of joe's work, you made his clothes look great!

also, well you already know, it's a tough world out there but in all seriousness, you will make it! keep up with your blog as i'm looking forward to all of your adventures after PR.

..and yeah, i understand that u r pissed off that anyone spelled your name incorrectly...it happened to me in some published articles!

I don't think there's an item in my freezer that's as cold as that Leann move.

Don't worry about crying as you walked off. I'm sure that's why the clip of you walking off made the final cut of the show - reality-show producers love tears.

karafan said...

Always your #1 fan!! You are a class act.

I sort of got the reasoning behind it (the serious weakening of a fellow competitor and possibly aesthetic, but based on her Etsy work you're much closer aesthetic wise), but it was stunningly cold, and even though I am still a big Leanne fan, I was a big Karalyn fan too and heartbroken over it.

I guess it just bothers me how she made, at best, a lateral move and you were sacrificed for it. You, Shannone, and Tia were the standouts this year and I hope the gigs continue because of it.

Best of luck.

Karalyn,
I am glad to hear that you are "booking, booking, booking." What kind of jobs are you booking, you don't have to be specific if it's not public info?

I agree with the poster upthread, please continue blogging. I don't know if you watch ANTM, a lot of fashion folk claim they don't, but they do, anywhoo Elyse from season 1 blogs (a personal blog and recently for lemondrop, links below) and she has quite a following, she even got a book deal - her books mostly sold in Asia, Elyse is based in Hong Kong. Although you both have different styles, you both write well and about interesting stuff.

Your mother is gorgeous.

Ariel said...

Karalyn you are gorgoeus and fabulous. Don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise. You worked every single look and leanne was lucky to have such a great model. I don't understand why she would give you up because you're so talented. And you don't need project runway to be successful because you seem like a lovely person inside and out

Best of luck!

John said...

Karalyn, you are fabulous! it broke my heart that you weren't chosen. ;(

My jaw was on. the. floor. when that bit of the episode aired. Best of luck to you, chica. We're all huge fans in my neck of the woods.

before the show, i was driving myself crazy trying to figure out possible scenarios of why you weren't with leanne at fashion week. i couldn't imagine her giving you up willingly. you owned her shit (especially the dvf dress, the saturn dress, and the scorpio dress). i gasped when you left.

it's easy for people to say that this happens all the time in industry, but in pr world when so much is at stake and you've been through all those challenges together, it's hard to understand why she would do this at the last minute. i don't see how tia would give her any more of an advantage, especially at this stage in the game. maybe it was the editing, but when they showed her talking about suede having an advantage with tia, it looked like it was just a move to sabatoge suede, but who knows.

either way, you rocked it in joe's show, and i am amazed and inspired that you are still able to speak so highly of leanne.

but i do love jerrell the most!

i loved what you said about how you can be healthy and still be a great model. what an inspiration. i'm sad i won't see you again until they air the fashion week episode, but i'm not worried for you at all. people would be insane not to see your talent.

if it WAS about the body, uh why?? Leanne's so ugh! she made a stupiiid stupiiid choice! stupid choice! (yes its me again the one who posted a comment on that really sucked part 1). I mean, for the nth time, what a stupid choice.

Whats with your body? it still fits modeling! and its not even about that its about how you rock the runway! you were so greaaaaat on that runway. you really stand out. actually, you're the only one model in all seasons of PR I feel. you rock i think people who watch PR will notice you as well then they'll get you, seriously! how can they not?

and yes, Jerells so adorable. I like him! not only is he so nice but he's also talented! really, really talented! and cute. lol i think he'll win PR:)

See you in the cover of vogue.:) God Bless you and your career.

I was so mad when Leanne switched models. I was routing for the two of you all the way to the end. It broke my heart when I saw you cry! You are so fierce!!!! From the very beginning I've always thought you were special(don't think it's creepy, I'm gay.) the moment you models walked in on the first episode. I loved your duo! I was so mad at her! I was hoping she'd win, but now... I'm switching to Korto. for me it has always been between Leanne, Korto and Jerrell. I was leaning towards Leanne more because her model (you) was amazing! But now... Team Korto for the win! She was right.. Leanne was a heartbreaker.

I thought you were the prettiest model on there. Love your hairstyle. God has bigger and better things for you.
