Ah, JRT is delivering lots of giggles today. Said her hubby “coined the word Fitbitting.” Yes, I’m sure he did, Jane. Also funny to notice during the Fitbit wristband demo, Ms. Southern Ass Albany’s status was prominently shown and said "No Recent Activity. I guess all that humping on the OAPs that she likes to do doesn’t qualify as steps?
As a side note, Al Gore never made that claim.
Thanks, I knew this supposed claim of his has been overstated by others, at the least. But if our “favorite” shopping channel personalities can play fast and loose with the facts, so can I! 
Grater actually just apologized for “talking over” Mrs. Bennett. Me thinks someone got a talking to. It only took 20 years.
I actually like that SG faux-leather trimmed color block jacket. Can’t figure out how warm it is, though. And faux leather? Will it crack in MN temps? She needs to describe the warmth/lack of.
Puddy, nice to see you! The mods at The Other Place are bugging me. (I’ve been burned.)
I just imagine Lisa is relieved to be done. No more scrutiny, no more selling the same thing over and over and over.

So, is that Sharon B hosting PMS tonight? I just flipped it on to see the last of a presentation with Renee, the honcho woman with Camel Toe In Control Leggings. I hope they finally gave up on calling them trousers and showing those poor models with tops tucked in at the waist and serious Camel Toe below. Now they at least seem to show them modestly covered with a long enough top.
Is Sharon the one who does the foodgasm thing? At the moment she’s hawking a Laura Geller makeup thingie and not being obnoxious. But. I’m not a fan.
Oh, hells. I’m confused. Is it Sandra Bennett on tonight? I get her mixed up with Sharon F, the foodgasm lady. And I think it’s Sharon I’ve always disliked.
I remember there was a really clueless new host some time ago, who mumbled and fumbled through every. single. presentation. and I just could not stand her. I think it was either Sharon or Sandra.
I’ll be very grateful to anyone who can shed light on the subject, to help me figure out who’s who as between those two.
Good to know they hire such distinct personalities.
Happy to help Suz. Yes, Sharon F. (little redhead) is the foodgasm host. Not a fan of that myself, but she seems reasonably OK on the rare occasions I see her do clothing or something else.
Sandra Bennett is who is hosting PMS right now, in place of the deposed Duchess of Orange. 
Yup that’s Sandra tonight. IM refers to her as Mrs. Bennett. She doesn’t bug me for some reason. Sharon, on the other hand, drives me nuts. Instant click.
ETA: Good to see you here Suz.
Agreed. Sandra doesn’t bug me at all, either. Probably because she both looks and acts professionally. Imagine that!
Sharon F. bugs me mostly with her special brand of foodgasms and exaggerated hand gestures. Definite CLICK! It seems the Q PTB have decided her foodgasms are second only to those of Yum Yum Happy Dance, so have stuck her with doing mostly food presentations. She wasn’t nearly as off-putting to me on the few occasions I’ve seen her do something else.
I did not see the beginning of PM Style but I have it on the DVR. Did Sandra say a word about anything or was it just bidness as usual? Is Eve Harrington there? Tin foil pants or tin foil hat?
Our Shawn will be on with Isaac - or maybe Jacqui - at 10:00. It looks like QVC is sort of over the “gifting” programing for a few hours at least. And then…
…Our Shawn kicks off the TSV for Tuesday! Yippee!!
My two cents on Sandra and Sharon ~~
When Sandra started, I loved her. To me, she was THE competition for Lisa to worry about. For some reason, she got very boring and very snotty to my ears. She is a click for me. I think she Botoxed her personality away.
Sharon gets on my last nerve but the food shows are so bad, they are fabulous. She graduated from the Jill Bauer School of Condescension and Bossiness magna cum laude. I want to smack her in the back of her head when she chews and talks and swallows and nods her head all at the same time. Does she ever cook anything from scratch? How big is her refrigerator/freezer?
I caught the Calista presentation with Jill today and I laughed at Maria. What a steamy load she is. She makes the mistake of using the same grey haired woman to demonstrate both her overpriced styling cream and her curling brush. Today, during the styling cream presentation, she said you did not need heat and there was no need to plug anything in. Really? You mean I don’t need to buy your over-priced curling brush or your over-priced hot rollers? All I need is your over-priced styling cream and I will be all set?
What a stupid woman.
Jill is dressing like an old maid. Certainly not "quietly expensive’ at all. It sort of shouts, “I don’t give a shit anymore” more than it whispers, “Look how classy I am.”
Hello, Thumper! I have had it with “people”. We made that place.
Ah, yes, Puddy how could I have forgotten about Sharon F’s tendency towards “helpful” condescension! Giving detailed descriptions to us unwashed masses at home, “in case we’ve never had it before,” or “don’t know what it is.” Right Sharon…I don’t know what shrimp is, or BBQ ribs, or cheesecake, or “exotic” bagel flavors i.e., anything but plain ones. Certainly true I’ve never had the Q versions of “food” :eek: but that’s not how she puts it.
And now that I’ve got my wheels churning on Sharon F., I am also weirded out how her mouth looks alternately either shark-like or rodent-like when she is biting into food. How is it possible for one human orifice to possess both of those disparate animal qualities almost simultaneously? :eek:
I know! She looks odd. I guess it’s the multi-tasking that throws her off. She has to eat, but not too much, speak, oooh and ahhh, and make us feel inferior all at the same time.
She acts like QVC is selling beetle ball sacks and we’ve never heard of such a delicacy ever in our sheltered and disadvantaged lives.
What turned me off of Sharon F pretty early was after she had her daughter she brought the little girl out to introduce her to the viewers. The little girl was old enough to be held up right and Sharon kept holding her hand and making her wave to the camera and kept repeating to her over and over that she was a star now. It was so weird and creepy. I think she’s another one who thinks just being a televised salesperson makes them a star.
Creepy is putting that mildly. It sounds like she was living vicariously through the little girl.
Did you know what Sharon did before coming to QVC?
She was a stage performer in Vegas. She is lucky to be on QVC.
PS and by the way ~~
Anyone notice the brand spanking new QVC host page? Looks like they had that done and ready to go. Oooooo, that’s cold. Brrrrrr.
I need a GILI jacket to keep me warm.
A solo or group performer? If solo, around here they’re called “strippers.”
Oh, I noticed and posted about it here, IIRC. Well, actually I read that they made her an unperson on the host page at approx 12:01 a.m. on The Day After. I was surprised mostly because they apparently had the UNIVAC warmed up and ready to go to update their website immediately. Very un-Q like to be on top of things in the IT dept. So rather Ministry of Truth, wouldn’t you say?.
ETA: Wasn’t Sharon F. also a Disney Park princess once upon a time? Someone there was, I think?
dropzone…Sharon? A Vegas stripper? Ye gods…I don’t even know how to process that thought.
Appreciate your seeing this, and saying as much, Puddy. Couldn’t understand all those commenting on how nice her nails looked, etc. Although, admittedly, it was an improvement, to some degree, over how they’ve looked for sooooo long. And, yes, a nice, solid color polish would’ve done wonders to cover the fill lines.
