“Run Don’t Walk”

I watch the Q frequently, love lots of hosts and guests but there are some phrases that the Q should consider having folks use a bit less. “Run Don’t Walk” is at the top of the list especially during some Kim Gravel shows. Just my opinion.

Her clothes sell out so quickly you have to run.

I don't like the word smart. lol when referring to the way one dresses. To me that means conventional. Lol I think the current trend of using the word denotes a dress code. Now they have

smart business

smart casual

smart formal

etc....

usually a tidy, suit ish look. I wonder if they have smart Boho???

I can't stand when they keep mentioning "the only order for the year." What they don't say is they ordered 5 million of the said item and it will be around forever. LOL.

I'd rather hear the word smart than when Shawn says something is "sick". How is that good?

Absolutely! What goes quickly is XS. You blink and it's gone. Leaving only black and darkest blue. Positively the first gone in colors like the rose/magenta, burgundy, etc. I rember trying to buy Martha's jeans with cuffs on them. I wasn't fast enough to grab the size 2.

When you have to look for leftovers (like today) the smaller size are gone

While I am not a betting man per se, I'd bet every last cent the hosts are given certain phrases and words to use when presenting items. Lately I've noticed the word "elevated" as one of the new go-to words.

As soon as fall is on the horizon they start with pumpkin patch and apple picking, it's so tiring. Tne in the spring it's whit jeans, so over done.

So true, and another one I get tired of is "this time of year with all the family photos" when talking about pretty much anything.

Yes, then there is the inevitable. PUMPKIN PICKING or APPLE PICKING outfit. Who does this? I mean have a special outfit for these yearly activities. IDK about y'all but here in Calif, we wear what we want, clothes we don't find getting dirty. Now, my granddaughters are in pretty chic outfits, if it is what they have on when they grab the kid. lol. I see women and men in clothes from the office, or jeans, a sweat shirt or sweater. Or old tee shirt jacket jeans .or pants. There are even a few grandmas out there wearing an old sweatshirt with iron ons, and puff paints. They all are great.

I don't like to hear always saying "have fun with your clothes."

@KKJ ...............Todays young people use the word sick to say that something is good. I dont care for it but it will soon disappear. In my opinion an adult sounds silly using the word.

Re: “Run Don’t Walk”

@Jaspersmom ............I remember a while back when people complained that QVC did not let buyers know when an item was close to selling out or they would not say it would not be restocked or returning this year.

Now when the hosts tell that its the only order of the year or limited supply people dont like that either.

The Q cant win for losing.
