or if you just want to look like a giant fish!
That denim jacket could be cute but why did he ruin it with that fabric on the arms? Who would wear that? And those jeans, why, just why?
Reminds me of the I love Lucy episode when she makes her own dress and uses a razor blade to cut the pattern on the floor. When she comes out to show Ethel the whole dress is lopsided and mismatched.
@Booney it’s impressive how bad these items are. Pretty amazing.
this stuff looks like things from 1990 and before catalogs like
Speigel, Lew Magram and others
A hearty dose of LSD and a clothing designer’s drawing board are a lethal combination.
As they say, never mix business with pleasure!
i thought it was Valerie Harper there for a sec …

Before and after mugshots
Since the “Ho” (HSN) doesn’t get much love, let’s give it some with chapter 3 of our ongoing saga, “The Glossary”. P.S. - I don’t watch the Ho very much, so if you have something for the glossary, drop me a line and we’ll get it added. Surely, there’s some great stuff. Most of this current version comes from the previously posted glossary from @RubberbandGirl (what a find that was!!).

CONNIE GIMSTONE and PRINCE SKIPPY !
Yes, Prince Skippy is my fave. How is he “royalty”? Did they buy their titles?
Connie CC was let go as a host. She has a jewelry line so is now an OAP at HSN I think, or the Q, not sure. She advertises Skinn’s shows that are on the Q on Shop HQ’s website. Iman is still current with her below quality junk.
thanks for the update! Will edit post and glossary. ![]()
Skippy’s mother, Amanda, married Prince Francesco Borghese, who is the son of Princess Marcella Borghese.
I’m avoiding JRT on the Q, so popped over to HSN where Colleen is selling her fashions. I really dislike that she has the models speak. Now muted.
In Adam’s message to Colleen for her 30th anniversary, he says, “I remember before I came to the U.S. and seeing a video of you and just being mesmerized…hypnotized…”
What exactly is he confessing? ![]()

Yup, Colleen talks her way through her shows letting the models tell her how great everything is. I caught a little of her show early afternoon when she was telling us her faux leather pants were going to sell out. When I turned on the tv late afternoon she was back selling the pants saying the same thing. I’ve read reviews on her clothing and jewelry lines and they are not great.
Especially since they are never prepared with commentary. It gives me secondhand embarrassment sometimes. They get paid to model, not lie- I mean rave about Colleen’s casinowear.
Before they both leave the business, I want to see a Colleen Lopez/Mary Beth Roe catfight on some cable station.
I’d pay per view for it!
