Shopping channel snark

Has anyone been arrested for P. Vasyli’s murder yet? On another note, seems Lisa R. has been frequenting Florida a lot lately, so there’s much speculation that she’s interviewing for a spot on HSN. Personally, I don’t see that happening, but you never know.

Saw post on HSN forums about rumor of LR showing up there. LR seems to be enjoying dating, a lifestyle seemingly a bit different than when she was tied to the Q. I don’t see LR fitting into the current stable of HSN hosts and the dynamic of HSN is different than the Q. Perhaps a bit more casual, geared to lower pricepoints? Customers took issue with LR’s constant references to expensive shops and locales, showing up, on air, wearing her designer pieces (and rarely a lower-end TSV), posting pics of her expensive purchases, being rather flippant about the ‘dollar…or however much…a day’ selling strategy. Just don’t think her schtick would play to the average HSN viewer.

I can’t imagine Lisa ever going over to HSN to work. It would be kind of like Mrs. Drysdale being forced to move in with the Clampetts. Within a week, Jethro (aka Shannon Smith) would have Lisa laying at the bottom of the see-ment pond.

Good one, Fried.

So glad to see so many of you back! Friedbaloney, I’m still laughing over the visual of your comment about Yum Yum with the watermelon head :slight_smile:

I missed Jane comforting Liam, the Vionic Guy. I hope she doesn’t add that poor murdered company owner to the list of those Dear Ones In Heaven she is always referring to in order to make a sale.

I haven’t watched a whole show in a long time…just so boring. I do get a chuckle out of the website…how many pictures can they come up with of Shawnie Sue making a moronic face? The latest has some kind of strange look that I guess is supposed to be a cute pout…to me, it says she’s been constipated since Wednesday.

If Lisa isn’t careful, she’s going to run through every dime of her money before she starts her second career. She’s become the U.S. version of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who are constantly on vacation. Add to that her obvious love of Manolo, Louis V, Giambatista Valle and all the other high end designers, she’s going to need to peddle her wares sooner rather than later.

Like all of you, I just don’t get this censorship on the other board. They have no problem with just about every swear word in the dictionary, but you can’t say Jamie needs extra strength Spanx? Makes no sense.

Good morning all!

It is nice to see y’all here.

On an intellectual level, I realized that my cable TV package included shopping channels. , but before reading this thread I had never clicked on one. I am now watching Kirsten Lindquist selling Philosophy Chemical Peel subscriptions.

Surreal…

Apparently, I have a channel called: EVINEHD, which looks like it is all Invicta Watches, all the time…

HSN has Dianne Gilman selling super stretch Bermuda shorts. I am not sure which of the two hostesses is Ms. Gilman. Props for the use of models that do not look like they are all made out of pipe cleaners.

Diane Gilman is the one with medium length, dark brown hair, who won’t shut the hell up!

Evine goes through phases where they show nothing but Invicta watches, it’ll pass.

Evine used to be known as ShopHQ. Right about the time Kathy Levine (former QVC host) joined the network, the name change to Evine. Coincidence?

Is she the one with the big wart on her upper lip or the one who looks as if she has lost her hairbrush with the really bad eye work?

I am assuming the latter, because she seems to be running the show. The warted one looks like a sidekick.

So, Dan has convinced me that I need a pole chain saw…

I’ll stop at Lowe’s on the way home tomorrow

So, HSN is listed as showing Jay’s Mine Finds: The wonders of adventure though gems. They are actually showing the lady with the wart on her upper lip and two people with German accents selling makeup.

Yes, his wife Donna has been formally charged with murder. She’s in custody. The next court hearing will be May 20.

ABC News, Australia, March 31, 2015, “Wife of Sydney podiatrist charged with murder after Phillip Vasyli found dead in Bahamas.”

Excerpt:
"The wife of an Australian podiatrist killed in the Bahamas has been charged with his murder.

"Donna Vasyli, 54, has faced court accused of stabbing her husband Phillip to death last week.

"She has been in custody since the body of the 59-year-old was found with numerous stab wounds in the couple’s luxury home in Old Fort Bay, a high-end community just west of Nassau, the Bahamas’ capital…

“The case has been adjourned until May 20.”

Here is another article about the Vasyli murder case. It says there are two additional suspects. Wonder what that’s all about? Did wife Donna have accomplices in the murder? Or were there just two people in the house who knew she killed him, but didn’t call the police? Apparently she didn’t try to hide the body, since he was found on the dining room floor, so the other two would not have been helping her get rid of the body. We’ll have to wait for more details from the court hearing.

The Bahamian police said one of the two suspects is a Vasyli family member. (they did not name the suspects.) This is sounding pretty bad.

Earlier articles said his body was found by one of his employees who went to the home to check on him when he didn’t show up at the office.

Footwear News.com, April 3, 2015, “Update: Phillip Vasyli, Vionic Group Founder, Dies; Wife Charged.”

Excerpts:

"During her arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on March 31, Donna was both vocal and emotional, Bahamian newspaper The Nassau Guardian reported.

"Donna was not required to enter a plea and was subsequently remanded to the Bahamian Department of Corrections.

"Anthony Ferguson, acting commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, told FN exclusively today that three people are being held in police custody in connection with the death of Vionic Group founder Phillip Vasyli.

"Ferguson said that shortly after Vasyli’s wife was taken into custody Tuesday morning, two additional suspects were brought in for questioning.

“The acting commissioner said he couldn’t disclose the names of the two additional suspects but he could confirm that one of them is a family member of Vasyli’s…”

This article had a link to a Bahamian newspaper article about the case:
http://www.thenassauguardian.com/news/55054-donna-vasyli-charged-with-husbands-murder
The Nassau Guardian, March 31, 2015, “Donna Vasyli charged with husband’s murder.”

Article says that "Once inside [the courtroom], Vasyli calmly told relatives and friends, ‘I’ll be out of here in no time.’ " Nope, her butt is still in jail.

What happens on May 20 is that the prosecutors will present a “voluntary bill of indictment.”

So, when did Lisa Robertson get ADD? On her facebook page, she said that her ADD kicked in while packing for another trip with this supposed boyfriend.

Also, why would anyone who’s afraid of stalkers put details of her many trips online? She’s telling everyone that her house is empty. Stupid, or what?

Lisa sure likes to travel with the boyfriend – does he no longer work either? Seems they go away at least once a week. If he’s retired, it must be nice, as he’s supposedly 39 years old.

LR is definitely making up for lost time! I’m guessing her bf is self-employed at the gym and can take off when he wants? Who knows. I agree about her always posting where she is and where she’s going. Seems weird to me.

She’s making up for lost time. It doesn’t seem like she had much of a social life when she was a show host.

She posts about everything, because she really wants everyone to think she has an enviable life.
