Labor Day weekend is the unofficial last weekend of summer.  And while the last few weeks of summer were a little crazy here in Pennsylvania: an earthquake, a hurricane, the wettest August on record; we still seem to want just a few more weekends!!  Well, I really don’t!!  I am excited for fall!!  I love fall fashion, and I cannot wait for QVC’s Fashion Week events this weekend!!  I am tired of being HOT! I want to wear long sleeves and pants, opaque tights, and boots!  Bring it all on!  Actually, today I just ordered new boots for fall. I cannot... Continue Reading

PM Style was Fun…

Last Reply by Patty Cake1948 1315297862.047 | in Fashion Talk, Hosts & Personalities, Quacker Factory

Well I had such a wonderful time working with all of the amazing people who put PM Style together!  Dean Banowetz & his assistant, Megan, styled my hair with their fabulous new product, the Topstyler (V31324).  I felt so glamorous – someone backstage even said I looked like Marilyn Monroe!  I will definitely take that compliment!  I wish they could do my hair for every show!! I also got to chitchat for a while with my friend Clinton Kelly.  I have worked with him outside of QVC, and I simply adore him.  He is as kind off camera as he is on camera. ... Continue Reading

Special Moments….

Last Reply by dustangel 1314680810.137 | in Fashion Talk, Hosts & Personalities, Quacker Factory

Do you have certain memories from your life that you would consider Red Carpet moments?  Now I am sure that lots of us have imagined being on the Red Carpet for the Oscars, or the Grammys in a beautiful one-of-a-kind gown.  If you haven’t, perhaps you know someone who has dreamed of this moment, maybe even someone who has actually experienced this. But what about the everyday moments in your life?  You know, those extra special moments that you pull from your memory, and you just smile.  Maybe it is your wedding day, maybe it is your promotion celebration at work, ma...

Through the eyes of a child….

Last Reply by Aunt Mare 1312942630.65 | in Fashion Talk, Hosts & Personalities, Quacker Factory

This past weekend I babysat my 2½-year-old nephew, Ben, for the entire weekend.  Now, I LOVE kids, I don’t have any of my own, but I love them.  All three of my sisters have kids, their kids have kids, and all of my girlfriends have kids—they all lovingly call me "Aunt Angel."  As I was going through the day with Ben, I could not help but to smile regarding his total enthusiasm for everyday things that we “adults” take for granted.  When I picked him up, he got so excited about trees and more trees!!  I took video on of him jumping ...

Shopping in Lancaster, PA

Last Reply by Plain Ann 1312337865.663 | in Fashion Talk, Hosts & Personalities, Quacker Factory

So last Wednesday my sister Vickie and her son Ben and I went shopping in Lancaster, PA.  For those of you who do not live in Pennsylvania, not only is it is Amish country, there are several outlet malls as well as adorable shops in Lancaster.  It was funny because as soon as we got out of the car and started walking towards one of the stores, I heard someone call out my name.  I turn around and a beautiful woman and her husband were sitting relaxing and she called me over.  She asked about Jeanne and Lee, and said that she & her husband were visiting from upstate NY.&...

Remembering Jeanne Bice

Last Reply by gingerbeer 1309837849.977 | in Beauty Banter, Hosts & Personalities, Quacker Factory

This Sunday, I’m honored to host a two-hour Quacker Factory show honoring Jeanne Bice. She sure was special. Of course, we're all special in our own way, but there was something a little “extra” about Jeanne. While we have a lot of famous people walk through the QVC halls, I can’t think of anyone who left an impression like Jeanne.   Long before I ever considered working for QVC, I knew about the “Quacker Factory Lady.” Her laugh and love of sequins and sparkles stood out as I flipped through the channels. Five years ago, when I got the g... Continue Reading
