In appreciation of QVC's models ...

Does anyone else here tire of seeing HSN's models twisting and twirling and crouching and moving constantly, constantly pulling at their pants to show how stretchy the material is, bending, kicking their legs out, all in unison? It absolutely drives me insane and truly makes me appreciate QVC's models.

Good job, ladies!

I never watch HSN, so I know nothing about their models.

However, I do watch QVC practically every day and I must say there is not one model I do not like. They are all beautiful, very representative of women in general, and very professional.

NAT: What do you want them to do? Stand there like statues and allow the vendor to pull on the fabric and fondle them?

@Nonametoday Wow, that was rude and unnecessary.

Perhaps a dose of reality, but not rude.

I saw an HSN sneaker presentation once and they had 6+ colors and 6+ models all jumping around, crossing and uncrossing their feet, standing on tip toes, pointing toes, and on and on. They looked little kids who can't stand still. It was weird.

It depends on the vendor. With DG line on HSN, Diane likes to emphases the stretch Of her fabric, so, the models are suppose to bend and crouch and pull on the material it show the stretch. I find some models have particular ways that they smile, and show their face for the cosmetic shows, and how they stand for the fashion shows. I think the models are told what looks best for them when they first started out modeling and they kind of do it For the rest of their career over and over again. It gets very repetitive and rather irritating to see the same model do the same thing again and again.

There is this new blond model on QVC who is pretty, but she has these huge lips that she pouts like a fish to emphasis them..... It makes her look so phony and cutesy....I almost can not stand to watch her. There is another African American model on QVC that is tall thin and pretty, but she fidgets and wiggles so much when standing it looks like she has ants in her panties. Someone must have told her to keep moving through out the show and never be still.

Maybe they need to use the restroom.

What was rude? That a fidgety person looks like they need to use the restroom? It is fact not rudeness.

Namealreadytaken may have been a bit abrasive in her response but I do get where she's going with it. Clearly the vendor wants them to do that. they don't do that for every single vendor! DG was a bit of an a@@ to the models last visit; she was actually yelling at them ! I've seen her get a little aggressive with the camera man too

For some reason it doesn't really bother me, although I don't stick around to watch the entire presentation(s).

I have seen HSN's models several times. Q's models seem much more professional.

I so agree about the simpering model. I can't figure out who all that is for since mostly women would be looking and shopping for clothes and would not like all the pouting and preening. I turn her off whenever she is on.

I see nothing wrong with it. I like HSN's models.

I think all the models on all 3 shopping networks are professional.

If the models are crouching, jumping, etc. it's because the vendor and producer want them to do so. When the models aren't moving often you can hear a vendor ask them to twirl or do something to show the movement and/or stretch of the clothes. It doesn't bother me.

On this subject the one which I find mildy annoying is the habit of a few of the Evine hosts. I'm refraining from saying the names, but they have a tendency to jump right in front of the models on the runway, and sometimes these offenders are not even wearing the item being presented.

That sounds exactly the way the Q models act during a Women with Control show. What's the difference??

I AGREE...THEY ARE GORGE! ESPECIALLY JACKIE AND DEE.

What about when the Q models start twirling and dancing? That's pretty annoying.

The job of a shopping channel is to get your attention. Sounds like they are doing a good job. Especially those of you who tune in a lot to watch the people selling the products.
