November Insider - Joan Rivers

I realize this might not be the perfect forum for this. Please allow me to share this comment and pose a question. I think it is absolutely "insane" for lack of a better word to have Lori Grenier on the cover of the November Insider instead of Joan Rivers. There is a beautiful picure of Joan on page 3, with a nice statement from the CEO of QVC. Had her death been too late to put her on the November cover (She died first week of September and probably the October issue had gone to press,) I would understand. I find it disrespectful and a really poor decision. There was only one Joan Rivers. Period, end of story. One chance for QVC to put her on the cover in Memoriam. After the millions of dollars and millions of laughs she brought to the Q and to all of us, I think it was the wrong move. Lori could have waited as hopefully she will be around for a long time. I realize there were tributes elsewhere on QVC and the home page. This is just my thought about the Insider. I understand the purpose of the Insider is to advertise future shows and products. I still think Joan Rivers trumps all of that...it's only one month's cover QVC.

Applause! I agree.

I would not surprise me if they had the November issue laid out long before Joan died. It was nice of them to alter it and put a memorial to Joan inside the issue. It wouldn't surprise me if an upcoming issue did have Joan on the cover. I don't think it is unreasonable that the November issue isn't it.

There is hardly just ""one chance"" for them to put her on the cover. And ""insane"" is a bit extreme don't you think?

Totally agree!

Micheledianne — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:42:42 GMT

I ALSO AGREE. I AM STILL DEALING WITH JOAN'S PASSING, BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST EXACTLY HOW MY MOTHER (MY BEST FRIEND) PASSED AWAY. I HAVE RELIEVED IT IN TOTAL AND AM STILL DOING SO. I HOPE THAT JOAN'S REPLACEMENT IS NENE LEAKES.....NOT ANYONE ELSE. NENE IS QUICK, INTELLIGENT AND FASHION FORWARD. OF COURSE, NO ONE CAN REPLACE JOAN, I STILL EXPECT HER TO SHOW UP ON THE SET. QVC HAS DONE THE WRONG THING, BUT MAYBE THEY DID HAVE EVERYTHING LAID OUT SEVERAL MONTHS IN ADVANCE AS ONE OF THE OTHER POSTS SAID. IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE....

I am in agreement with you all ~ possibly Joan may grace the December cover, maybe an end of the year tribute?? I think that would be fitting ~

Re: November Insider - Joan Rivers

ValuSkr — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:24:48 GMT

Joan died Sep. 4 and November Insider was released by Oct. 1. So it was probably too late for Joan to be featured. But they may do something in a later issue.

acatgirl — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:27:19 GMT

Yes, my words were a bit extreme. Just such a big loss. I still can't believe Joan Rivers is really gone. Thank you for your kind responses. (And good point about the timing of the November issue.)

Is this thing about Joan going to go on forever? When will people stop stirring up her dear soul and let her rest in peace ?

Who is it that you are trying to impress with these thoughts and actions? They memorialized Joan properly, why can't you people let her go in peace?

It is very painful for many people to keep the buried deceased "unburied". Let them R.I.P. respectfully. She had magnanamous coverage at her time of departure. I notice this was not requested of other celebrities who recently went home to be with our Lord.

And don't even say it is because she sold her items at the Q. I think it's more than that.

Yes, it's getting over the top. Let it go already.

BOYINTX — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:42:40 GMT

ARE YOU SERIOUS...That is what is on the cover......SHAME..SHAME...SHAME.

Q needs to give a Joan Tribute .....as well as A SPECIAL ISSUE Of Joan and her history

and the sales history she is known for. Again SHAME

For those that are tired of hearing about JR or reading about her, then my advice would be not to open a thread where her name is clearly in the subject line.

Re: November Insider - Joan Rivers

BOYINTX — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:49:48 GMT

I understand the post on letting Joan go, yet still for some like me it was just terrible.

I understand letting her rest in peace, but again Joan & Peace ????????? Joan would love this little uproar over her getting fast billing and cover time.

But again in all Respect some share sorrow so different .

Miss you Joan-----

Would have been nice, but I have to say I'm not buying more Joan just because it's Joan.

I have a few of her items and that will be my Joan collection. I'm just too close to her age when she left us to make use of more. For me, her sudden death was another harsh reminder to me how little time there really is. It doesn't help my thinking that although I'm healthy enough right now at 73, so were my mother and my best friend. Both died at 81 as our Joan did.

I'm wearing my bee pin more often these days. I can't wear it without remembering her or thinking about its meaning.

ETA The Insider may be printed months before we see it. They seem to know the TSV's a year in advance, not just a few weeks.

Agreed. Happy that she was shown on page 3. That was nice of QVC to not ax that.

If you want a Joan tribute, I believe it's People magazine that has one on the newsstands.

QVC has done enough .... time to move on.

For those who are "still dealing with" her passing ....... maybe professional help is in order.
