A special QVC rendition of A NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS in honor of THE WEEKEND BEFORE CHRISTMAS.....
It was the weekend before Christmas and all through the house QVC was not stirring on any TVs in any customer's house.
The Little Mismatch stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in the hopes that St. Nicholas instead of any of the QVC vendors would be there.
The children were all nestled all snug in their beds, with NIGHTMARES of Flashpads, Twister Trax and that darn Frozen song, dancing in their heads......
....and out in the lawn there arose such a clatter....that she sprang from her bed to see what was the matter....A way to the window she flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash to see a Pressure Washer being demonstrated with a splash!!!
Diamonque on the breast of new fallen snow, gave a luster of midday to objects below, when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a Dyson, Vitamix, and eight Dell and HP computers, with a little old driver not so lively and definitely not quick, I knew in a moment it wasn't St. Nick (instead it was QVC's Mike George).....
As the dry and dull programming before the wild TSV hype applies, when they meet with an obstacle, the remote off button with fingers that fly, so up to the housetop the courses they flew with a sleigh full of (UNWANTED) merchandise and QVC's St. Nicholas too!
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney the QVC hosts came with a frown. They were all dressed in faux fur from Dennis Basso it seems from their head down to their Denim and Company jeans....And the rest of their clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot...oh wait those are clothes are designed by the bag lady and are a hoot! A bundle of QVC products were slung on their backs and they looked just like infomercial Peddlers opening their sacks.
Their smile was tight as they bared their teeth, and smoke from the George Foreman Grill encircled their head like a wreath. The vendors were bubbly and jolly like an elf, and I laughed when I saw what they presented in spite of myself.
The QVC team sprang to their sleigh, to their team gave a whistle, and away they flew like the down of Northern Nights. And I heard all the former QVC customers exclaim as the QVC team drove out of sight.....IT WILL BE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL, NO BORING QVC!----AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!!!!

HOHOHO... Merrrrrrryyyyyyyy Christmas...
Cute Spurt...
I had the Q on for a bit this afternoon and I was doing a little tidying up (it seems like maybe in my next life I should be a maid...) and my gosh, HAVE YOU SEE THEM LATELY? They ARE frantic... They're talking at warp speed and yes, of course, it's the same array of tired, boring products they've been pushing all season... And as for the weekend, well I hadn't checked and now I don't need to... And yes, even Dooney has grown stale... Merry Christmas to all and to all a serious good night... Good night, can you EVEN believe how bad this is...? Good night indeed, because now they're suggesting giving a mop as a gift... All right, that's it... Off it goes!

Thanks for another great weekend update, Spurt!

Well Stevie....you are braver than I am ....the only QVC I've watched is a bit of that jewelry show...and Antonella was just gushing over piece of jewelry as David M sat by her side grinning...I couldn't take it anymore and had to change the channel.....
OMG a mop as a gift....I can hear the host screech...."give the gift of a clean home to someone".......Boy it sounds like from what you described they are DESPERATE!!!!
BTW although I know all the stores are different, especially in different states, but I was in Marshall's the other day and they had a large stock of new Dooneys in varying price ranges.
I know one of the mantra's the QVC cheerleaders tell us over and over, "when you go in a store you don't see different merchandise, and that is much like the Q having a stock on hand that will of course be there for a while, so QVC is doing what all the other retailers are doing".....or words to that effect....Well if you've put away the barf bag, I've found nothing can be further from the truth....I have stores that I frequent and I am pleased to see SOME new merchandise whenever I visit, it keeps me coming back too.....Marshalls, Home Goods, Target....all have new things. And they were putting new stock in Target they had quite a crew and NOT with the same ole qwap either.....

EXCELLENT! I'm imagining the cartoon about The Night Before Christmas with a haggard Mike George looking out the window.
I hope all of you have wonderful holidays!

Not even Lisa could have saved this weekend's mess of line-up.
Isn't it time for them to roll out some overpriced, tinsel weight gold jewelry that we can't get into time for gift giving to ourselves or others?

Yes, the merchandise does change everywhere else... but apparently not here...
As for Marshall's and the Maxx, I don't often see a big selection of Dooneys, they tend to be more of an occasional thing and not often many of them, but yes, they do very much differ by store and region and truth be told, you don't see a huge volume of Dooney being carried out and about around here, anyway, so they probably know that and target shipments accordingly. Our stores are well stocked with Kors and Lauren... and I've also been seeing a fair amount of Coach locally. I happen to like Dooney, but other brands seem more popular here.... But yes, I was in a Maxx store just the other day and they were still unpacking NEW merchandise and the store was nicely stocked. Likewise was Target... I didn't buy much, as I really stopped in to look around, as I was in a different neck of the woods... I might go to Marshall's to return something, though at this point, if I don't get there tomorrow, I'll probably wait until Monday. I can imagine what it would be like on the weekend and it won't be pretty...
And yes, a mop as a gift... They will say ANYTHING... Which begs two questions... First, are there actually people that fall for this? I mean, I can see buying a mop, but as a gift... And second, WHY do they try to sell a mop in the first place? I mean think about it... Of all the items they might be presenting right now for possible gift giving... a mop... Really...?
Actually, I know it's late, but I think I'll return the jewelry, designer handbags, up-scale cosmetics and Issac fine woolens I've already purchased and give everybody on my never ending gift list a heel scraper and a mop for Christmas, along with a nice size bottle of poo-pourri...
Honestly more unbelievable by the day...

So true... Nobody could...
And actually, they've been rolling out that stellar Q jewelry collection, complete with buyer, just not during prime time... Never during prime time... After all, we have to reserve prime time for the frenzied hosts to tout mops and electronics, and for those never ending generic gift shows... Meanwhile, there have been a few jewelry shows (very few) during the afternoon hours...and they've featured very little new or special. Just imagine.

They had a jewelry show on the other day....it was with Antonella and of course the buyer, David M. looking like a proud father . (what David was proud of, I'll never know). It was overpriced resin filled gold and most of it was the same thing we've seen over and over again---the twisted earrings, coin jewelry, rope chains, and turquoise bracelet.....with the announcement....THE SLEEPING BEAUTY MINE IS CLOSED!!! I turned the channel.....

Someone said that Mike looks like Orville Redenbacher....and I tend to agree....
