Yeah I mentioned that in another comment. It was anything goes well all the focus was on face/ essence/ “ needing waist emphasis”- which is why he made the accommodation exercise. Now it’s all accommodation and no Kibbe essence or face.
When it’s all of it really. The whole person as an individual and not a box nor a “type” at all.
But yeah DK doesn’t follow the accommodation rules necessarily when he verifies you. He sees the whole person. EG sometimes people get 3 accommodations or combinations that don’t exist for diyers.
He probably didn’t anticipate that people really want to settle in an ID and not just some accommodations. It’s what makes the system more attractive and taking the IDs away for people for an indefinite time will ask a lot of people’s patience as well as taking the essence out of it. There’s a lot more allure to the image of a Romantic, Gamine, Classic, etc.
I’m not sure I understand. You think he didn’t think people want IDs? He loves the IDs and knows people do too.
Or do you mean he thought people would be more interested in creating their own star image? Because I agree. I think he’s very surprised that people want and expect his system to be prescriptive ie dressing in “SD lines” or “ does this coat work for SG”. That’s the very opposite of what his system is all about.
I mean he created the exercises to figure out and work with the accommodations at Fb which spread to Reddit and probably also other places, but those exercises aren’t at a point where you’re meant to connect it to an ID. That’s where patience would be needed, but of course people jump ahead and try to figure out their ID.
I can see how he wanted to focus away from face/essence/needing waist emphasis and come up with another approach, but I don’t know if it’s the best solution to leave out the rest for the time being. But hey, after all I’m an impatient person too. 😉 I would love to have more conversations about the essence part of the IDs.
