I'm sure she doesnt mean it literally, it's just a figure of speech.

exactly. It's the whole creative thing that she's referring to.

It's a metaphor.

Are they for real right now? This jacket is terrible! Maybe there's so many seams because it's cheap?? Hate when they try to upsell something awful..

A quality lamb jacket would cost hundreds of dollars. I doubt if this lamb leather is anything near quality. Also, when you piece and seam together strips of leather, it's cheaper to do so. They are not full skins...

Good grief!

Here I thought this was going to be a thread about women who run companies or countries, (or possibly women who wear SPANX).

The phrase "give birth" has more than one meaning and is widely used both ways.

give birth

1. of a mother: produce a baby from the body

2. to cause the beginning of something

give birth

1. cause to be born

2. create or produce an idea

give birth

1. to have a child; to bring forth young

2. to bring forth a new idea, an invention, a nation, etc.

Synonyms for "give birth'" include:

come up with
conceive
devise
formulate
invent
originate
design
make
produce
bring forth
think up

As an aside, I have no idea who "Renee" is, but given the comment I can only assume she is a vendor on QVC.

I get it. I have two kitties and they're both my girls.

In addition, I do some writing professionally and hopefully have given birth to some new ideas.

Renee was using an appropriate definition of the word.

She is borrowing that statement from Oprah who used it when she was talking about her movie "Beloved." Or at least I remember that was the first time I ever heard that statement..

I'm really not sure why you would think Renee "borrowed" this statement from Oprah. Oprah didn't make this up ... it's been around forever.

Renee may have never heard Oprah say this.

they are called idioms and we learned about them back in elementary school.

It's been used in the corporate world forever (I've done work with a few major corporations), especially in product development, marketing, and research. This phrase is nothing new.

Just making conversation. I like Renee, so I was just thinking maybe she heard it for the first time as I did when Oprah said it.

The term "giving birth" does not bother me near as much as referring to handbags and clothing items "she". That is beyond ridiculous and makes me cringe every single time I hear it!!

I like Renee and find her to be energetic and enthusiastic without being annoying! I love her WWC pants they do wonders for my figure and I don't care how she came up with the idea it's the product and the quality that matters.
