Spotlight on: Kelly Renn

I caught up with Ridicassociate Kelly Renn at a wine tasting in Martha's Vineyard last weekend. In addition to working at the prestigious gourmet restaurant, Trattoria Il Mulino, Kelly has been brushing up on her wine knowledge. Already quite the aficionado, Kelly hopes to pursue a career in wine when she returns to the Big Apple (that's New York City for those of you not in-the-know) in the fall.

After talking a bit about her life & future plans, we got down to brass tacks: Ridicathlon.

Loryn: How did you become involved with Ridicathlon?
Kelly: Well, I'm pretty well known for my lack of athletic ability and  lack of participation in team sports. I guess my friends thought that these traits best qualified me to participate in a Ridiculous athletic event. 

L: You are a panelist for Evening Wear/Q&A. What special talents will you bring to judging this event? 
K: Well my "Aunty" Chary was once a pretty well known coach for Miss America contestants for both NJ and NY states, I feel that she imparted her almighty coaching wisdom to me and that I will know what to look for in our contestants during this event. Also, I was the Prom Queen. 'Nough said.

L: Besides judging Ridicathlon, what will you be spending your summer doing? 
K: Mostly partaking in activities similar to Ridicathlon in that I will be consuming alcohol at said activities. 

L: If you had to compete in one of the Ridicathlon events, which one would you choose? Why? 
K: What are the events again? Oh..whoops...um, I suppose Milk Trivia because that sounds like something I could be qualified for. 

L: What great wisdom do you wish to instill upon the competitors? 
K: Don't ask for sympathy when you lose..."sympathy is in the dictionary between shit and syphilis" (A direct quote from Mr. Buzzy Renn)

Thanks so much to Kelly for taking a moment to talk with me!
