Emmett McCarthy - Season 2

[denise xx]

He looks pretty good for -41? 42? He does seem kind of sad..

[Weinie]

That's what I'm feeling. At least he has the pretentious part down pat.

Nope, the bald headed guy with the big ears who says he makes pretty clothes and cried like a baby on the runway when he had to cut his vintage clothing. He is gayer than gay, and definately out of the same mode as Austin.

[Brandy]

MotherSister, yep I saw the pot belly too. It's kinda cute.

I don't think his style agrees with him... the Truman Capote hat's gotta go! I can get with the Tom Wolfe aesthetic, though. He does kind of have the elan to carry off clothes from another era. But as tall as he is, with his handsome face and all, he could be devastating. He's just gotta work it

LOL! I agree, which is strange. I'm sure I'd not think a pot-belly was cute on another man.

Also, I think you're right about his style -- some aspects are a bit over the top; he'd look loads more appealing doing simple and elegant instead of vibrant/artsy which doesn't seem to match his personality too well.

[spiffy]

He needs to get off that I-design-menswear-so-I-am-struggling train though... He came in fully aware that this is a womenswear competition -- he should use his menswear background as a source of strength, not weakness. If I were him, I'd make all my designs menswear-inspired... That'd be the signature and make him stand out from others.

[Kocky_Kamikaze]

I still think he looks like a really tall Suggs!

[Brandy]

Proof positive that Emmett McCarthy really does resemble a Keane painting.



Ya see? Ya see?? I rest my case.

[corprip]

Hehee.. maybe. But omg, that child is creepy looking!!!

[Brandy]

LOL... it was the only blond one I could find. I didn't realise it was a clown until I enlarged the pic haha. It's a more recent one of hers. Her recent ones are not as 'cute' - the 1960s ones are the classic big-eyed art but hard to find. They didn't used to be creepy. LOL

It still looks kinda like him though, IMO

[SnowflakeGirl]

GAH! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!! I have a severe phobia of clowns and I always thought big-eyed Keane children were creepy in the extreme. (Nice touch with photoshopping the bottom of the pic though. I didn't notice that till later.)

Brilliant! If only you could go back in time and tell Emmett this. Or if only PR would do a menswear competition (which I somehow doubt they ever would do).

I think he resembles a more dapper version of Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age:

I hope you guys know I'm referring to the guy on the left.
