Modeling

gypsys mom — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 02:55:14 GMT

I wish Amy, Shawn, Rachel and Mary would stop trying to be a model--if that's your calling quit as a host and get a modeling gig and let the real models continue to do the wonderful job they do. And I think giving models sizes should be just 2 times Ina 1 hour time slot. All this is my opinion-no one has to agree with me.

I guess I have a differing opinion. I see no reason why hosts shouldn't model. The more shapes and sizes in an item I am considering, the better. Part of their job IS to wear the items. They have been doing this since day one, however, not as often as they do now.

What a host wears tends to sell out the fastest. It must work.

As for mentioning a size just once or twice in an hour? I also disagree. I tune in and out to QVC throughout the day. It helps me if they repeat the sizes they are wearing since I have many other things to do than sit for an hour and watch a presentation.

@gypsys mom. It's not a matter of opinion. The hosts are doing as they've been instructed to do. QVC has determined that active participation by the hosts sells clothes.

I also agree that hosts are also REALLY EFFECTIVE models!!

We can see how the clothes move, and how they fit lots of different body shapes.

Yes, I also notice that when hosts wear certain colors they sell out first!

@gypsys mom

I very rarely watch an entire hour of a QVC program and sometimes depending on the host it might be muted.

Probably not the only one doing this so repetition is necessary for the watchers that come and go.

As for the hosts wearing the clothes I like it, adds extra body types and movement.

I wish the size charts were shown more frequently. Too many times either the chart isn't shown at all or not until almost the end of the presentation.

Katia could make a burlap gunnysack look like a runway item.

I prefer watching the hosts show the clothing on the air.

@gypsys mom 🌼

Why only these 4 female hosts ? Why not Sandra, Melissa, Mally, Jayne B, Jane T, Courtney, etc etc ??

I think It’s silly to think that customers don’t want to see the clothing on women other than models.

Besides not all body types can be represented during a presentation.

I actually want the hosts trying on as many colors, patterns etc of clothing so I can see how they look on them.

When it comes to shoes, I want them to put on as many choices as possible. And I like when they wear 2 different shoes with their outfit. so I can compare.

I understand that the models might look silly doing that look ! 😂

Shawn is Excellent at trying on multiple shoes on her shows. I’m sure it’s a sale grab when she does. 🛍️🩷🛍️🩷

I don't see Leah, Jayne, or Pat changing clothes nearly as often as some hosts. They do their jobs and let the models do their job. We all know Mary is a medium and Amy is an extra, extra small, so I have no need to see them play model. I happen to think the models do a great job although the stylists sometimes don't.

If I believed the sizes some of the hosts "claim" to be, I'd be a size small too.

Re: Modeling

tends2dogs — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 14:50:15 GMT

The more bodies we can see wearing the clothes, the better in my opinion. Isn't that the point of a live shopping channel? I find it so much better than looking at a still picture.

If you find someone that resembles your body type, all the better, win, win! I have and it helps me with sizing.

You got that right. Too many times I see hosts AND vendors squeezed into a size or two too small. What good does that do for viewers trying to get the right size?

Re: Modeling

shoekitty — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 19:16:36 GMT

One reason Hosts and vendors repeat things over and over, is for new people who drop in. People channel surf, or are late to a program. Hosts are instructed to repeat certain things over for those viewers . Kathy Levine mentioned that in her book years ago. if you watch all day, or have watched show from beginning ,or a taped show, it may seem redundant. But ,we have to keep to drop-in viewers in mind.

The hosts modeling would be helpful…… except!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY DONT GIVE THEIR CORRECT SIZE. !

Especially when the host is standing next to a model who they say they wear the same size. Come on girls, not being truthful is no help to anyone.

@Desertdi That's because she's the Naomi Campbell of the Q. Katia uses the Q stage like a Paris or Italian runway.

Here she is showng off Graver's "liquid knit."

So true @Mz iMac about Katia. She is quite stunning and looks terrific in everything.

I've seen this as well. A recent show (don't remember the brand) the vendor was wearing her top in a S and she didn't look any bigger than Shawn, and of course SK was squeezed into her usual xxs or xs and thought the vendor looked much better in it than SK.
