I BELIEVE KIM G IS ATTEMPTING TO CHANNEL MARTHA STEWART. SHE'S NOT MARTHA STEWART

I disagree. I believe Kim G. has a strong sense of herself. I don't believe she feels she needs to "channel" anybody. She is very successful right now and is capitalizing on it as most other designers would.

Kim doesn't need to be Martha Stewart. She only needs to be herself. I enjoyed her Christmas show Saturday night and purchased 2 sets of her 70 piece ornaments.

I disagree as well. Kim has her own style and has already proved her worth to QVC in sales. If not, she wouldn't be on all the time and allowed to branch out more and more.

Kim's decor in pinks and cream and huge deer stags looks just like what I'd expect from Kim. It's fun and kind of "out there" at the same time -- and that's fine.

I see nothing of Kim's decor that reminds me of Martha's style, at all. Martha's style to me looks bespoke and luxury. At least that's the theme it gives. She does lots and lots of gold, silver, and champagne & copper.

There is only1 Martha Stewart. While Kim is talented in her own right she is not Martha Stewart!!!!

I don't see it as competition at all. To me these ladies both have their own specific styles.

Sorry but I too disagree they are 2 entirely different people with very different styles.

Thank heavens she’s not like Martha Stewart! Kim is her own person with her own sense of style. She seems to be warm & kind & MS is not. MS is talented no one can dispute that but she will sell anything to make a buck. Kitty Litter, dirt & now medical adaptive equipment. How much money do you need?

Martha Stewart is a prime example that crime does pay. A convicted felon who is laughing all the way to the bank.

Oh come on! At any given time, QVC has a "Golden Goose Du Jour".

For a while, it was Bruce Makowsky.

Or Susan Graber.

Or Lori Goldstein.

Or IT Cosmetics.

You get the idea ... whomever is bringing in the most $$$$ gets the most airtime. I'm sure it can be a very heady time for that person.

It will change. It always does.

Martha Stewart is an icon. Kim is not; she is capitalzing on her Q popularity now by expanding her brand to include lots of different things. She and Martha Stewart are so totally idifferent in every way there could never compete; each is successful in their own right.

I am shocked anyone could actually try and compare these two.

Looking forward to seeing Kim on next year's SI Swimsuit issue!

She did her time and did it well. She bounced back from it. There are so many famous people who have done worse and they got away with it.

She was found guilty of lying about a stock trade and did her five months. She doesn't owe anyone any more. She paid her dues.

She worked to get where she is today. Her crime didn't pay.

Why bring up the past from 2003? It's over and done with. Stop being so mean and let it go.

KG went from being a beauty queen, to a beauty pageant coach on to designing clothes and makeup. It all fits in to the flow of things for her. To me it appears that coming to the Q was her calling and it worked out great for her.
