Mary D

Pavlova2 — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 02:51:47 GMT

I’m a fan of Mary D- I think she is great host. In fact she reminds me a bit of former host who also has the initials MD - Molly Daly. I’m kind of built like Mary and was wondering if anyone knows what her normal QVC size is- I can then gauge how I would look in the the QVC clothing she wears.

On a related note, I will say I find it confusing when a host (NOT Mary) says she’s wearing size small and Iooks (at least to me) considerably larger than I would have thought someone wearing a small would look. It makes me think I must actually look enormous in the same garment even though I think I look as I would expect when I look on the mirror. Very confusing!

Mary d has said she wears a size 10 pant and medium top. I too don't believe when certain hosts say they are xs or small.

I guess a good rule of thumb is to add 1-2 sizes to what they say they wear.

Thank you willomenia! That’s just what I would have thought because I’m a 10 in pants as well.

Think I have heard Mary say she is a 10 on top and bottom.

The only thing that I have noticed in some fashion item as tops she keeps trying to pull it down so feel length wise she is not comfortable wearing that item.

Will agree when I hear some host say I'M in a certain size really, why can't they be truthful, think maybe they would look better going up a size (JMO)

And JT NEVER stops ! Pulling at her top and telling us her age (61) are sooooo annoying.

I'm wondering if some hosts are actually being truthful about their size. If I watch Q on my bedroom tv, smaller screen, different resolution, hosts look at least 1 size larger than they do on my bigger screen tv downstairs. David, for example, on smaller tv looks like he's gaining his weight back, not so on the larger set.

Mary admits she is larger and sometimes has to wear a 12 in tops. Would guess the Mediums (which cover 10-12's) simply don't work well with her microphone while on air. In the real world, she would be comfortable and look attractive.

I personally think Mary is one of the most annoying hosts. She is constantly acting immature and needs to stop with the horrible joking.

I really like Mary ! She's very down to earth with a pleasant voice . She explains the products very well and is always well prepared.

Hosts are sales people. Their job is to sell you their company's product. So when they tell you it's ok to wear PJ's to work, school, or the grocery store, they are telling you what they think you want to hear in order to sell a product. I'll say it again, hosts are sales people.

When Mary first started at QVC I thought she might become one of my favorite hosts and I was hoping she would keep her own sweet personality . THEN, they paired her with David. At some point she morphed into a female version of David and his style of presentations. She must have studied his style in depth because she sure acts like him.

I could have written this myself. I think Mary DID study him intently in all ways and now it's hard to tell them apart.

It's nice to learn from others, but please don't become a clone of that person.

If you like David, you like Mary. She morphed into a female David not long after she arrived at QVC. I think she trained under him.
