MODELS

What has happenedd to a good many of the models that are no longer with the Q (such as Carin for example)? The regulars seem to be disappearing one by one or having their time on air drastically cut and being replaced with young girls who are obviously inexperienced on how to stand and walk! Please keep the gals that have been around a long time. If they were suddenly replaced they would be missed! Also how about having some type of dress code for the female hosts? You still have at least one that consistently dresses very sloppy.

Kerin is still at QVC working behind the scenes as a fit model. By the nature of the work, for most part-time, modeling attracts young women who are in transition, in school, working on multiple jobs, juggling a family or having babies, are preparing for another career. Some have been there years, others come and go rapidly. Several left when husbands got jobs in other states. Everybody is inexperienced when they first start.

@Gayzee The models don't work for QVC, they work for modeling agencies. The more exposure they get,and the more experienced they become, more & more of the models get modeling jobs outside of QVC, commercials, acting jobs, etc. I've seen a good many of them in other media and other places. As @Kachina624 mentioned, they also have personal lives that dictate what hours they want to work at QVC. Gone are the days when QVC is their only modeling option.

Everyone was a trainee at some point in their job. They deserve a break.

While watching Saturday mornings with Leah the last couple of months have thought they bring nothing special to the table. Sorry! Looks as though they went to the supermarket and asked folks if would like to model this morning instead of grocery shopping?

They move on with life as we all do (or should). Better jobs elsewhere, other careers, getting married and starting families, moving to another city, etc.

Who knows -

I am sure many models retire....move on.

@aggravated

So many posters complained they wanted models who "looked like them." Now they're getting them.

Be careful what you wish for.

Of course I'm just surmising, but it seems the really special looking models who actually in demand, would move on to bigger and better gigs.

I would lik to see more new models, it wouldnt bother me a bit if they replaced them all. Not to be mean, it just gets old. Would you like a fashion magazine that had the same model on the cover every month? It would be terrible refreshing to have more new models, of course STILL keeping with the all sizes and heights policy

Re: MODELS

blankette — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 05:35:15 GMT

I dont think most of these models are going up the ladder on the way out the door. in fact QVC is probably the dream modeling job for many of them. All things aside the modeling agency may decide to switch them around. The only models that are going around from booking to booking are the very successful ones. The girls couldnt possible be doing that as they spend so much time at QVC.

I think the models are fine. Not sure what either of these posts mean. What's the point in seeing all models in a size 2 or a size 22? Or all blonde or all brunette? Need all sizes, heights,etc.

What does "looked like them" mean?

@proudlyfromNJ I think the customers want to see models who's body type is more like theirs. Katia and Kate are truly high fashion looking where the petite models and the models who wear size medium and beyond look more like the average woman. I believe all shapes and sizes can look great in clothes if they fit well.

@blackhole99. Yes, I agree. The posters I quoted seemed to only want beautiful, skinny models. I answered them that we need all types. They didn't seem happy with the everyday women they see in grocery stores.

I think QVC has lovely models. I like them all but that Amanda is just gorgeous. She carries herself so elegantly

Re: MODELS

I think QVC has the best models. They are just lovely and do their job very well, and are professional....I have seen some models more than others , but certainly I think there is enough variety here!

Re: MODELS

redwingsgal — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 17:11:11 GMT

I like that the Q uses gals who are, for the most part, average women who model for their job. I would like to get to know them a little more, say in a blog or something similar. Like the hosts do.

Re: MODELS

Catch71 — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:25:21 GMT

I believe some of the vendors like Dennis Basso, Susan Graver, Louis D., pick the models they want to model their clothes. In that case I would expect they pay the models fees. Susan G. is obsessed with Katia and Brenda!!! She goes crazy when they step out to model her clothing. I bet she pays them well.

I have seen some of the former and active models from QVC modeling for department store ads here in PA.

Boscov’s always has models I recognize. I know they model for many other retailers. The owner of the modeling agency is QVC’s former model named Joy. She used to always do the Bare Minerals infomercials too.

Re: MODELS

threecees — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:30:36 GMT

@Carmie

Yes, I have spotted a few of QVC pretty ladies in Boscov's ads too.

I see Deanna probably the most.

The ladies are very busy for sure.

Please use models in 2x and 3 x so we can see how those sizes look. We deserve the same respect and commitment from QVC. We are a large part of your customer base.
