Jeffrey Wins!
I am so happy and surprised that Jeffrey Sebelia won this season’s Project Runway. I never intended to start watching the show, but my daughter and my mother drew me in. Like most reality TV shows, it wasn’t just about the clothes but about people’s lives. I wasn’t hooked on the show until I saw the episode about the designers’ home lives. Up until that point, I was offended by Jeffrey’s outward appearance. As I watched him at home with his wife and young son, I was heavily convicted of my inaccurate judgement of him.
To be fair, when you dress and tatoo yourself like Jeffrey you MUST be aware that people will inaccurately judge you as a scary person. I felt guilty when I heard his story of a rough childhood and overcoming drug abuse. I was floored when I realized that the tatoo around Jeffrey’s neck, written in script letters, was about his son, Harrison. I hate tatoos, but even I find it hard to criticize an ode to one’s son written in script around one’s neck.
However, I quickly became a Jeffrey fan, my affection for him second only to Laura Bennett who surely wins a Super Mom designer award. How she designs and creates such beautiful clothing with 5 children (and pregnant with her 6th) is legendary stuff for a mother!
