Oh and LOGO Rags Lori is back, been a while. Model Kate giving “sexy” duck lip to the camera while being forced to wear the full white diaper layer. And poor plus model Jackie…OY. They either gave her the same size diaper as skinny Kate, or Bag Lady Lori has added a maxi pad version to her line. Jackie had to look like she loved having a small white triangle hanging down right in front of her crotch. O_O Jane Elf is the unfortunate host this time, looking twice as hippy as she actually is in LG’s “slimming” clothes. SMH. Lol
JRT looks great with the straight leg black pants and boots. It’s ruined by the Logo crap she has on the top.
Oh, ITA. I like the pants and boots on her, too. And I have to give JRT credit for not bursting into tears having to see herself in the monitor while being forced to wear those shitastic tops. But hey, LG swears everyone looks so tiny in them, so our eyes must be lying to us AGAIN. :rolleyes:
Meanwhile, they’re selling like crazy. My head hurts. LOL
Eh, I don’t feel sorry for JRT if LOGO doesn’t look good on her. She chooses enough unflattering things to wear on her own. Now the necklace — yeeeuck!!! I don’t understand the popularity of those slabs-o-glitzy-flowers necklaces. (Even Joan Rivers sells them.). They look cheap and heavy to me.
True enough wrt JRT own fashion choices. I suppose I can add that to my reasons to hate Sophie’s Choice Lori - she still somehow made me feel bad for our Ego Elf for a moment. :mad: LOL
Although, JRT seems to have been making choices better suited to her figure type lately. She still really whiffs on it once in a while, but on the whole, seems better. It appears she has at least started taking medication that* finally *made her realize she is not, in fact, June Cleaver, and so stopped dressing like her. That’s something, I guess.
Suzanne Runyon (HSN) looks like she added hair extensions? I’m having a hard time deciding if it helps or not. The overall style looks a little better than her usual haystack, I guess. But adding fake hair to her bleached out straw that passes for hair…I dunno.
Oh, Amy Amy Amy. If you loved those Denim& Co. Classic Waist (eeek!) 5-Pocket “Leggings” (which they said are actually skinnies) so much, YOU would be wearing them. And you are not.
Those jeans looked like something from the 1980’s with the elastic in back and the high waist. I think I dressed Toddler Cheesehead in something similar back then.
“Classic waist” heh. Why not just say “mom jeans”?
LOL, right?! And some of those D&C jeans I’ve seen make “mom jeans” look good. :eek:
I hate to pick on Denim and Co. Gary because he seems like the nicest guy, but he makes Rag Lady and Grater look like real “designers” by comparison. Holy. Fuck.
Oh boy. Perricone TSV today. Dirty Dana has already started out with yet another “interesting” wardrobe choice. Not sure how to describe it…ummmm…negligee sundress? It looks like she may have actually combed her hair this time before she came on air, though.
I complained to Dana about her wardrobe choice. I got accused of not being nice. My response? I’m not Thumper!
Before unstyled
After with professional styling
An hour or so ago I tuned in to the Q, and wouldn’t ya know, Susan Graver was talking nonstop. I was in the kitchen putting something together to eat, so it was a few minutes before I could grab the remote and change channels. But I could see the TV from where I was, and during that whole time, Grater just blabbed and babbled away. I have no. idea. who was hosting. The Grater was yakking and twirling and grabbing at garments being worn by - I assume - models and perhaps the host.
How many effing hours a day is that woman ON the air, anyway? Does she ever go home - or shut up?
Thoughts on PMS host? I thought both Sandra and Jayne did a good job. Could definitely see Amy or Jackie as perma-hosts, since they are younger and enthusiastic. Nice to see the show focused on the merchandise instead of the host. Snerk.
I didn’t dislike Lisa, but I was getting as tired of her schtick as she was. It is refreshing to see a different point of view and as you said, have it be about the merchandise, not the personality and preferences of the host. Q is a shopping channel, not E! entertainment.
I’d be more than happy to see a rotation of some of the better hosts for the PMS show. Particularly if it meant seeing some different choices of items and styling and some different viewpoints of how items work with one another. I wasn’t a big proponent of Lisa’s personal style and it got to the point where that was all we were seeing was things that she liked.
I’ve only caught PMS once, with Sandra Bennett hosting. With the holidays and such I haven’t really been at home much with the TV running in the background per usual.
But judging from that one show…I miss Our Lady of Perpetual Orange. THERE! I said it! Lol Mrs. Bennett was just there doling out beauty and fashion “advice” to try and sell me stuff while having a fresh manicure, human colored skin, nice hair, current and flattering makeup, and properly fitting clothes put together in a sensible and flattering way. WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT!!!
Happy New Year, fellow shopping channel snarkers!
That’s how I feel about it. Well-groomed and perfect is Borrrrring. I would love to see David “come out” and model some of the ladies fashions.*
*It’s so nice to say that, and not have a mod drive by to scold me.
Happy New Year to you too Coffeecup and to all snarkers.
I wish the Duchess would’ve come out of the closet with him. Holding her girlfriends hand.
A scandal for the New Year! A Judith Ripka sex scandal! Woot!
New York Daily News, Dec. 31, 2014, “Jewelry designer Judith Ripka ordered interior decorator to trade sex for furniture: lawsuit.”
JR’s interior decorator Tristan Harstan is suing her, claiming she told him “at least three times in the past nine years” to have sex with high-end furniture designer Nancy Corzine in exchange for furniture for JR’s Palm Beach home. Harstan refused, and said in his lawsuit that he was “not a male prostitute, but an interior designer.”
Harstan has done work for JR since 2009. Instead of fees of about $1.2 million, he agreed to take a salary from her company of $120,000 plus health insurance and other benefits.
The article doesn’t say what he is specifically asking for in the lawsuit, but it does say she owes him over $105,000.
Haha, I’ll bet this sleazy story is going to give JR’s fans hissy fits. QVC will not be pleased either. As for me, I’m thinking JR must have thought Harstan would be a pretty good lay, if she thought his sexual favors would be worth that much to her designer Nancy. (Apparently JR did not sample his favors herself.)
NY Daily News tried to get a comment from JR, no response yet.
I’m not sure what to say about that JR story. I guess that decorator stayed as long as he did because the job had benefits maybe? JR ordering people around doesn’t surprise me seeing as she’s come off as an entitled bitch putting on an act during the shows I’ve seen for the past couple years.
