Shopping channel snark

About shopping at Evine: I’ve shopped there for years, since way back before the recession when their name was ValueVision. (Their next two names were ShopNBC and ShopHQ.) The jewelry has always been very good. I never had to return anything. Haven’t shopped a lot there since they became Evine, just because I was cutting back on shopping, but got some nice earrings from them last December, and ordered a couple of rings on sale today. In my experience their shipping time is good, not better or worse than other places I order from.

I’m a big fan of JTV. Don’t be put off by their unsophisticated shows or Southern accents. (I’m a Southerner myself and I probably sound exactly like them.) You can save a lot of money there. They have great prices on jewelry, and I’ve gotten some wonderful things. If you don’t like watching the TV shows, you can browse the website for specific things you are interested in. They have many items on the website that you seldom or never see on TV (like “Web only” specials), including 14K jewelry.

JTV has a large inventory of loose gemstones too. I enjoy watching their loose gemstone shows for the educational value. I’ve only ordered one loose stone from them, an orange Mexican fire opal, and it was excellent quality. I had it set in a ring.

As much as I like JTV, I do feel snarky about the hosts sometimes. Some of them wear way too much contouring makeup, heavy eyeliner and hair extensions. And they all spend too much time urging us to post on their Facebook pages. They need to understand that some of us choose not to have Facebook accounts.

Just to let all of you know…Lisa’s ugly ass clodhopper shoes are on sale at Neiman Marcus for $476.00!!! Regular price is $595.00. What a deal!!! Feel free to buy more than one pair!!! Lisa is totally insane!!! I’m no psychologist but there is something missing in Lisa’s life and she is trying to feel that void with material objects. She really needs to use her money to see a shrink so that she can figure out why she is so insecure. PS and BTW…the shoes are by Jimmy Choo just in case you want to find/buy them online! LOL

Check Ebay. I remember seeing some stuff for sale there.

About Kirk’s Folly: They are still in business. They have a Facebook page, and they said they are on QVC in the U.K. They posted that you can watch their next shows online at qvcuk.com on June 8 at 12 noon and 11 p.m. U.K. time. That would be 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. U.S. time, according to their post.

Amazon has a lot of KF jewelry. There is also some available on Etsy and eBay. KF has a website, kirksfolly.com, but they don’t have a store on the site.

OMG, now LR is promoting a MLM protein powder on Facebook. I wonder how many of her tribe will get involved in this pyramid scheme?

I wonder why their website is basically a “Goodbye, thank you for your business”? :confused:

everyone is buying this product! if you click the link on the bottom it says this store is owned by Eric mcgee

Nope, sadly they’ve retired. I can’t find the specific announcement but this post is from Oct. 29 last year and it’s pretty clear from this and especially the comments that they’ve retired.

Here’s another where someone was asking what’s up and they respond that they’ve closed. https://www.facebook.com/KirksFolly/posts/10154047861888539

So sad.

Thanks for the information. I had the impression they were still operating in a downsized way. I was wrong about that.

I wasn’t a KF customer, but I enjoyed watching their shows on QVC. So much fun! I know many people loved their jewelry.

Lisa is promoting Eric’s pyramid scheme so that he can earn some extra cash so maybe he can pickup the tab for some of their activities. I bet she gets pissed off having to pay every time they go out.

Way to treat you loyal “tribe” by sucking them into a MLM scheme

In case you all missed the big announcement on PMS last night: Aussie Liam and blonde model Stacey (the one whose leg he draws on for Vionic) are expecting a baby boy together. And Shawn is off on another vacation this weekend; said her head is already there. Won’t get an argument from me about that!

Maybe she’ll just STAY there. #in my dreams

WTF!?!? That tribe needs some serious counseling. Everything LR owns or does the tribe follows suit. LR posted a pic of a blouse she’s been wearing and now all tribe members are ordering it. Even her biggest fan Lois Fenton who is 80 years old bought one online (Saks $250). LR is going to send the entire tribe into bankruptcy. I have to admit I am highly entertained reading LR’s FB page.

AND, why do LR’s eyes always look so f’d up in her pics?? Makes her look so creepy.

She just posted a pic in her new sunglasses and someone posted that everyone in the tribe should get a pair!

La Lisa is off on a road trip with Courtney tomorrow. Does this woman ever stay home? And I would shoot myself if I had to take a road trip with Courtney. That whiny voice of hers irritates me to no end. I would have to shove her out of the moving car going 80 mph down the interstate.

Maybe that’s the plan! :smiley:

You folks will appreciate this.

I was just now reading an article about bad beauty trends of the 2000s and one of the top ten was chunky highlights in your hair. The article’s author roundly condemned it, saying it had never flattered anyone and was so glaringly out of style that it would age you immediately.

Yoo hoosie, Shawnie Sue??? You listening??? :cool:

You should totally post it to thawn’s FB page!!!
