@tennvols ...... I think Maria does just fine .... she is not a " show off" model and does a good job! .... I like her.

Maybe she is self concious about showing her back side....like Antonella won't turn around, either....

there's Jamie the blond model who used to move and turn around so much that it was totally distracting and made me dizzy! I couldn't focus on what she was wearing. lol! well, someone must've told her to dial that down because now she's so much better to watch. whew!

One of my biggest problems with the models (aside from always wearing clothing that is too small for them) is their hair. Not that it isn't lovely hair, but with it hanging around to the front and hiding the neckline, it's hard to see whether I would like a garment. Just push it back over the shoulder and the prlblem is solved, but they don't.

Just standing OK by me. I agree though, jackets with 6" gap in front, sleeves barely to wrist, pants at ankle that are not ankle pants.

Include the hosts in this too, clothes looked forced on and top all this with heels they can barely walk in. Sunglasses?? OK we can imagine it's summer without the glasses.

This is something I've certainly noticed with Maria. I don't consider it" showing off: when a model shows a garment so I can see how it looks from all angles, after all, that's the way others will see it on me; need more than just a front view.

Jess, the newer model with the long red hair, shows us the garment from all angles; seems like she is really enjoying her presentations.

I stopped watching any of the IM shows because of the stupid sunglasses....why do all the models have to be in sunglasses no matter what they are presenting...it looks foolish and needless....If I am not watching....that means I am not buying...and I don't from his line...

Maybe certain models don't turn around because the item they're wearing is taped or pinned in the back to make it look more fitted.

It would be nice to see a flamenco once in a while..................

In addition to not moving, Maria rarely even smiles. She looks like she just wandered in and is wondering what's going on. Michelle, the tall Black model, rarely smiles and usually looks like she's mad about something.

Some of those models are mad because they're hungry. I'd also be mad if I had to wear sunglasses at night. Or indoors.

@Desertdi: I'm still laughing at your flamenco comment. Imagine a model breaking into dance (think: "Bamboleo!") during a Susan Graver presentation. "This is so kooky!"

I have noticed for many years that Maria moves very little. I kind of assumed that she might have a problem such as vertigo or dizziness. Pivoting, as the models do,

cold trigger that response. Just a thought.

The models are instructed on what to do when they come out on to the set. They're models it's their job to just stand there. The producer/director tells them what to do. In speaking about Maria, I've never seen her not smile. I've seen her move to the forefront during a presentation. She's gorgeous.

I don't care for the whole sunglasses thing. It started with Issac and I noticed that they doing it with other brands.

I really, really don't care for the "let's go stand over by the models", it always looks awkward when the host and the vendor transition over back to the racks.

That is why I love me some Katia when she models. She acts like she's on a Paris runway modeling couture clothing.

She is the Naomi Campell of QVC!

I don't mind them going over to show me things with the models if they are actually going to do something useful in the presentation. One of the things I don't like about the new fashion set is that there is so much "distance" in the way they show things that it is hard to decide how things look I agree with another poster who mentioned the sizing issue -- if the model or host is not wearing a correct size (too small for instance) and it is obvious then it makes it difficult to make a decision on sizing if I do want to buy. Actually since IMO the Q has had major issues with their sizing in all of their clothing lines including shoes, I may watch the fashions go buy but I don't buy like I once did because I've been disappointed too often.

I don't like it at all when the Petite model SITS modeling. Some things you like to see how it holds up to sitting, but I want the Petite model to stand.

The models are supposed to be professionals and know how to wear and show off the fashions to the customers. IMO QVC models are prima donnas, the vendor should never have to ask a model to turn around or move or walk to show off the clothes.Kate is the only model who really shows the clothes off, too bad she doesn't represent most of us. Tracy the petite model is another one who really shows the clothes off, but she rarely works. Meredith the petite model who is my size and build shows the clothes very well most of the time. The clothes should fit the models and not be pinned or altered so the customer knows what they are getting, it's not a photo shoot.
