Nothing against the pretty models they have, but wondering what ever happen the models they used to have. Been with Qvc a long time and just wondering about it.

@brcala QVC uses models provided by the Joy Talent Agency, they do have a pretty user friendly website so looking there might give you the answer your looking for.

Everything changes

It looks like one of the reasons is QVC went heavy into plus sizes, so plus size models are being hired much more than the traditional thin, tall models they used in the past.

It seems to me that some models did not return after covid. Like a lot of people, maybe some changed careers, or furthered their education, or retired.

Yes i agree....the pandemic kept everyone home....and when it became the time for the models to come back to their jobs i felt QVC decided to go in a different direction with the models...........there were just too many models who didn't return who seemed to truly enjoy working there (similar to the hosts situation) ...i think a couple may have made the choice to leave QVC at that time. I wish them all well.

@PhilaLady1 @kelsey17 I am thinking that too. We are missing the blond and brunette Marias; we see Brenda but very rarely (did she have a baby?), same with Deanna, though we see her a lot in stills in the website. I guess Kate went to work with LR. Anyone see Meredith or Monica? Also, they brought Michanda and Angela in a lot during the pandemic, but I haven't seen them in a while. Not that I watch much, just product videos.

Models are not exclusive. They do other jobs. Joy who used to model has an agency & represents most of them.

@NYCLatinaMe

Angel (QF) said [brunette] Maria has "semi-retired."

Brenda is still modeling, I see her frequently on-air, but not as much as before she had her baby.

Deanna is still on a lot.

Meredith was on yesterday, but petite models seem to be on less & less overall.

Monica has her own construction & remodeling business.

Michanda quit modeling last year.

Angela works for Lisa, but still models on QVC (usually for Logo once in a blue moon).

Shanus — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 13:42:28 GMT

I've watched Q since the beginning. The models on air look exactly the same...a miracle or time off to recover from having work done?

They rotate in and out. Facelifts, deep peels, injections take weeks to months to heal. No one can look the same for 30 years.

***Chantal and Leah have been on forever...Chantal goes back towhen Bare Minerals Leslie used her as a model. How many decades ago was that?leah has been the prime model for Laura Geller since the beginning, too.

@NYCLatinaMe You're so right, sorry I got them mixed up. Kate also pops up on-air from time to time, but very infrequently. For Logo sometimes.

I haven't seen Angela in a while, nice to know she too appears sometimes. I know Angela operates and rides for a professional motorcycle racing team -- MotoGirlGT.

Thanks for the update @Caaareful Shopper!. Maybe blonde Maria retired as well.

You too @qbetzforreal!

blueroses47 — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:16:52 GMT

I just saw Carrie (at least I think that is her name) this morning during a Kim Gravel show, and I saw the blonde Maria a few days ago. Carrie appears every once in a while, but I hadn't seen Maria in ages.

I think that they are probably in retirement, or semi-retirement, and only do occasional shows.

Re: Models

NYCLatinaMe — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 18:06:32 GMT

@blueroses47 Thanks for the update on blonde Maria! I haven't since her since covid.

I do think I see this Kerri, if the one below is the one you meant, doing shapewear and beauty shows. I think she stopped doing fashion several years agao after she put on some weight. Seems like QVC does mostly XS, XXS, L and XL models. Seldom use mediums, which Kerri probably is. I think Gia is a medium maybe?

I think it depends somewhat on which shows you watch. I watch a fair amount of D&Co, and the regular models on Tuesdays, for example, are a Small (Aida), a Medium (Chrystal), and a 1X (Pam). There's also Taleah, who is a medium petite. Isaac had Jacinth (sp?), who is a Small, on today and Adrian (a Medium or maybe Large?). Anyway, there are definitely some Smalls and Mediums out there.

NYCLatinaMe — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 04:22:41 GMT

Yes @jonbon thanks for the updates on spme models. Looks like they are moving to same models for specific lines. That explains while w see the same models all the time, it's because of the shows we watch...

Re: Models

Stray — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 21:37:07 GMT

@Caaareful Shopper - that’s good. I didn’t watch too much of Fashion Days. I liked Bonnie’s smile & she was a rare medium size.
