Highest commendations for using models with body differences during Issac's show today.

I can't commend QVC enough for having a model with a body difference today during Isaac's show. The model looked great. If the public were to view more people with differences the public would become more used to people with these difference. This can have the effect of welcoming all people and can even lead to increased employability for persons with such differences. Thank you QVC.

Actually,I think she's lovelier than the host. And did a fine job of modeling.

(How cruel some folks choose to be!!!!!)

Can you post a Picture or something? Was she in a wheel chair? Missing a limb? What made her body different?

@SeaMaiden ...It appeared to me she was missing her right forearm from above the elbow. She modeled elegantly.

Thank you QVC and all the other companies that employ people with differences because they are relatible to millions.

I think that is wonderful. Most of the audience are not models... they are just US... average folk. Why not have real people model more often.

She looked lovely and did a great job. A positive for the Q who IMO is very diverse and inclusive with hosts, models and vendors.

Should not even be an issue.

If someone ever calls me “woke”, I’ll take it as a compliment.

I hadnt seen this model, but I'd like to.

I dont watch QVC so I didnt catch it.

Any particular piece of clothing to look for?

ref: "woke"

I thought I knew what "woke" meant, at one time, (awhile back, when first used). But honestly, in context, seems like the meaning of "woke" has been, & is constantly changing, esp in context. So who can keep track?? Certainly, I cant.

For some, it seems calling someone woke is meant as an insult and scorn these days.

Then if we look at the dictionary definition, everyone should be proud to call themselves woke as we all should be. Not asleep to all the injustices and predjudices people face. It is far past time to wake up.

Yes people exist who aren't like others in whatever way, doesn't mean they're "not model material". What a sad cruel attitude to think otherwise.

I sure hope people aren't teaching their kids and grandkids to be prejudiced in that way, that's how kids become bullies.
