What's With All the Praying?

Are you more likely to purchase WEN when Chaz is praying? I wonder if he is actually seeking religious help or if it is a weird mannerism? I think I'd like it better if he didn't do it. . .

I haven't watched in years but if you're speaking about Chaz's gesture where he clasps his hands and then bows at the waist it is an Eastern tradition to show thanks and appreciation.

It's not a prayer ritual.

Chaz is "ZEN" with his Man Bun.

I quite agree with you. He is showing his gratitude for all the people who purchase his products. He may be thanking a higher power or the viewers; he is a very thankful person. I have seen Jamie Kern Lima do it (clasp her hands together in a prayer gesture) a couple of times when the host says her IT Cosmetics product just sold out or tells the viewers how many thousands of her products have just been purchased. Isn't it nice to have vendors who show their appreciation. They know we are the people who can either make or break them when it comes to sales.

I have seen the gesture in India and many southeast Asian countries, many times used with the word "namaste," which is a form of greeting and/or leaving someone. It is considered a form of courtesy/politeness/thankfulness.

It's an Eastern tradition. He has several statues of deities around his L.A. business.

So, all those who have a traditional relijus belief - do they buy WEN? They certainly post dislike of other beliefs here.

I was going to say the same thing. It's a gesure of respect. He's not praying.

At least it's coming from a positive place. There are far worse "gestures" out there in the world

Wonder what the boys get paid for petting the dogs? Likewise for the model that shampoos her hair on air?

As long as you started this thread, I hate when hosts end their show with "Have a blessed day." Someone did that just yesterday (female host - didn't even know who she is). People should keep religious wishes to themselves; surely Q has some atheist / agnostic viewers.

Wow. I love and appreciate it when a host says have a blessed day. We need MORE of that in the world today!

No doubt a lot of people like it, but it's not applicable to their entire audience. They shouldh't be expressing anything religious or political as host IMO. I am delighted for you to get "blessings" for your day elsewhere, if you appreciate that thought. Many people don't.

Something that I have been curious about for some time as far as QVC policy - what exactly constitutes "religion" as far as the forums and QVC's supposed "no politics or religion" part of their rules & guidelines.

Many posters have Xtian sayings and bible verses as their sig lines, a few close to "preaching" standards. I'm pretty positive that if posters included Muslim or Pagan, or atheistic sig lines, they would be reported to QVC as being offensive and told by QVC to remove those sig lines.

Yet I'm equally positive that if anyone complained to QVC about overtly Xtian sig lines, comments, threads or posts, they would be ignored.

IMO, if it's okay for one religious belief or non-belief to have sig lines, commentary and entire threads, it should be equally okay for every other belief system to have the same privilege.

If a host/hostess can freely say Have a Blessed Day, then hosts should also be able to say Shalom, MerryMeet, Blessed Be, Namaste, or As-Salaam-Aleikum. But I'm betting that would make QVC unhappy.

It may only be a gesture of gratitude. Then again, he may actually be praying - praying that his sales will go through the roof.

Today a cashier called me hun. I dislike being called hun, who wouldn't. I could have complained to her manager, sent an email of complaint to the company but I let it go instead because it was the right thing to do. I like doing the right thing more than I dislike being called hun.

Zen Chaz and the cashier mean no harm while many others do mean harm, I'd rather go after them.
