Posh presents. Not.

ellaphant — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 02:58:42 GMT

Prior to Jane hosting this show, the show actually featured lovely items. They were not everyday items from QVC. Sorry, not one item featured tonight was what I consider special, lovely or posh.

could not agree more!

Where were the Posh Presents??

Where the heck were the posh presents? The Affinity hoops were "posh" and the Joan Rivers taffeta skirt would fall into that category too (since you'd only wear it to a cocktail party or a holiday party). I miss the old days when Lisa Robertson hosted the posh show. Sigh.

Did Jane choose the items for her show tonight?

Was that on tonight? Not sorry I missed it. It was best when Lisa hosted from the park in NYC. Then they moved it to the studio and had the fake party going on in the background. Then Jane, probably the worst choice among them to take it over, appeared to inherit it, and gradually the alleged 'posh' gifts have become more and more mundane. My suggestion would be they either dump this show going forward or they award it to Katrina or one of the other less stale hosts, allowing them to bring back some true glamor, bling and posh to the proceedings.

That's a good idea, Katrina. But tonight it jumped the old shark. They should have just caned it. It was nothing at all like before.

Let me guess here...did they have any poo pourri in special "holiday fragrances", that can "only be gotten at QVC!" and crystal encrusted ink roller balls to block our your mail info??

....sorry I missed that if so... my nail tech and hairdresser are dying to get this year's version. 😉

Just being snarky, of course. Never actually got into the "Posh" show, at all, before or now, but I do get the point and imagine what it might have devolved to. 🤷‍♀️...if I see that roller ball (I've had them btw, they never covered most things) one more time mentioned as a "practical present people didn't know they wanted but were happy to get"....yea.

Can you imagine getting nose hair trimmers or tooth whitening ampules as a gift? I also think it's crazy to suggest $40 gifts for neighbors, teachers and mail carriers.

Yes, they did seem to give Lisa nicer things to sell. Maybe it's just a sign of the times - people are more practical now.

I did think of that too. But then...call it a different show. No one cares about "Posh", perhaps, in these "more practical times", and it's not really a post show anymore...so then make it something else! That'd be my thoughts on that.

I couldn't watch for very long. The tennis shoes with the long dressy skirt looked a bit off to me although I understand wanting to be comfortable and dressed up at the same time. At least they weren't all wearing their PJs. When David Dangle, Courtney, and Jane all started talking at the same time, I had to tune out. Maybe "posh" is one of those words that people no longer know.

@proudlyfromNJ -- I doubt it. The hosts do not determine what items are being sold. Even when they have a show called "So and So's Favorite Things" they don't chose them.

Very sorry POSH presents!

Re: Posh presents. Not.

skatting44 — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 15:06:18 GMT

Watched a little this am but some people never learn to be quiet long enough to let someone else speak . " Oh. sorry Courtney " that I cut you off and have run out of time to let you speak , but just show that pink Always bracelet .

Then it was a 3 ring circus with Jane, David, and Courtney who lost the verbal arm wrestle with Jane & David . I turned off the TV . Ridiculous !

The plaid Joan Rivers taffeta skirt was a LOL! It was a ridiculous price ($90 with shipping and tax) and looks REALLY OUTDATED. It was NOT FLATTERING on Jane Treacy. It made her look dumpy.

Re: Posh presents. Not.

Carmie — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 15:24:11 GMT

@layla2450 I thought Jane looked great in the skirt. It was very slimming. I also didn't think it was outdated, but it was dressy and most of us are wearing casual these days.

The black sneakers were not very flattering with the skirt, I have to say.

Pantsonfire2 — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 06:41:36 GMT

@ValuSkr ... OR maybe Lisa knew how to create an air of "posh" more than Jane dressed in a long skirt ... she's still Jane folks. Cue the "I love Jane" fans !!

Re: Posh presents. Not.

Flamom — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 17:23:55 GMT

She looks dowdy all too often. Surely they can find clothes that flatter her. Why don't they?

Re: Posh presents. Not.

stevieb — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 22:52:16 GMT

I went to look at items on air for the alleged 'posh' show... Really... While times might well have changed, there will always be room for a holiday gift show with a focus on glamor and on some of the 'finer things'. Hey, they only do one a year and it could be so much better than this fiasco. The production smelled more of an old PM Style than anything else and I'm fully fed up with vendors phoning it in and frankly doing little more than disrupting the works. Moreover, there was nothing about this show that required multiple hosts. This was not a pretty picture. It appears no one making programming choices at QVC has any imagination at all anymore.

You all may know this already, but one reasoning behind the word POSH is that it was an acronym for "port out, starboard home" as used by well-off English folks (and/or the steamship company) for those traveling by steamship from England to India and back again.

Of course, Merriam-Webster debunks this background, but I've always liked it. So much so that when I commuted by train from my suburb to San Francisco, I sometimes made it a point to sit on the left side of the train going to work, and the right side coming home. (Not that it makes much difference on a train, but it was fun.)
