Yikes the more I looked at the TSV the more I saw giant mammary glands. So hideous and inappropriate. However an “Adult” store might use them to decorate their establishment. Nice work Val, the ultimate Christian lady.

I can’t listen anymore to Harry Slatkin explaining the ingredients in each of his candles again and again and again! Why all of a sudden is he on so much?

Harry’s tedious description of each scent is irritating as heck.

On the other hand, Harry loves to talk as much as Jane and did a good job of tamping down her yammering. We did learn that Florida Dee can’t have candles where she lives and instead has a shelf full of Harry’s diffusers. Fortunately, Cara enjoys a number of his scented, overpriced candles.

:christmas_tree: :christmas_tree: :christmas_tree: I went to an estate sale in April and snagged a brand new, unopened in the original box, Balsam Hill 7½ foot lightly frosted tree for $40. It’s the exact tree that I’ve been eyeballing for the past several years, but refused to pay the price of $1299 for. Three daughters trying to settle Mom’s estate, and discovered that she was a world class hoarder. Packages, mostly unopened, were hidden everywhere in her home and garage, and no one was the wiser. They’re blaming themselves, but if someone is determined to keep secrets from family members, they obviously are very great at keeping them. I also got great deals on small appliances, but I can’t imagine having to deal with this. It was obvious that her daughters were having a difficult day, and said that they just wanted to “get rid of the junk and get the day over with.” You are so correct, for QVC and their hosts and vendors, the elderly, the lonely, and the depressed are their target audience.

This TSV is tired, ill-fitting, unflattering and sad.

Also, I hate Bitsy’s weird hair. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Carry on.

Those sleeves on Kim’s waffle knit thermal looking tsv are way too long. Notice how drapey they are and rolled up on some models. I bet they are irregulars and they need to unload.

Maybe they’ll find someone with one arm longer than the other. Ya know, like how Jane’s feet are two different sizes.

Mary had a disco theme looking 50th birthday party. Not many heavy hitter hosts were there. Mary acting over the top as usual.

This morning, 3 hours of Gravel and Rachel B. In other words, 3 hours of screeching, cackling, singing the triple luxe song, Kim’s faux down home folksy exaggerated GA accent. Be prepared to mute.

Face down on the floor photo ? How bizarre.

QVC sells nostalgia and guilt. Notice how often the hosts weave “your grandkids” into their sales pitches.

One of the main reasons I despise QVC. They prey on vulnerable, lonely, elderly people, and encourage hoarding through pitches with inflated (often unreasonable or downright nonsensical) emotions and a BIG dose of guilt.

Anyone who has dealt with a hoarder knows the turmoil it causes, especially when they die and it’s time to clean up. It’s heart-wrenching and frustrating in unimaginable ways. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone.

It doesn’t have to be nearly as bad as the TV show to have devastating effects across multiple generations. As QVC’s audience dies out, the brand will become even more hated as younger generations begin clearing out the hoards. Many of them know about their family member’s love for QVC, but they will be disgusted with the extent of unopened Easy Pay items. Every other estate sale has mountains of unopened QVC crap.

It’s a real slap in the face for a generation whose income hasn’t even begun to keep up with cost of living. Imagine not being able to own a home or support a family, despite doing all the “right things,” and you discover a house full of cheap imported junk bought on an imaginary form of credit, paid for with social security they themselves will likely not receive, all because their deceased relative was guilted by Chip & Dale’s lab rat step-sister on amphetamines, a trashy slob lush, a publicly closeted gay man, a supposed health guru with an eating disorder, and the world’s worst golddigger.

TRUST ME. QVC will be remembered long after they shut down.

@UglyBetty Love your writing. When i was working i bought some things on QVC, a lot less expensive. You could get a pair of pants and D&C top for around $50. I still buy QVC clothes but not from QVC. POSHMARK or E-bay is the place to shop. It’s current clothes, all new at 1/3 to 1/4 the price. I like Kim Gravel’s clothes and have a lot of her stufffrom Poshmark.

In 10 years, every item ever sold on QVC will be available on Poshmark or eBay for a fraction of the cost. New in box, of course! :joy:
