Yes, she is on often, but this is a common practice at the Q with popular and trending brands. When I first started watching the Q I remember seeing Bare Minerals & Philosophy on all the time! I think they were on almost every day. I used to get so tired of seeing those 2 brands. Bare Minerals seems to have disappeared and Philosophy isn’t on nearly as often. Only time will tell how long JM will be on the Q.

I agree.QVC has lost me as a customer. Never watch during the day or on their 3 channels anymore. I used to buy a lot of beauty products and diamonique, denim and company. Now I just see the same old stuff.

and Logo, Susan Graver- california dreams stuff- ridiculous prices. I also never buy shoes due to my crazy feet.

I do check here and online for great Steals but so far nothing I need or want. and I am an older retiree so I would assume QVC wants my business.

The hosts appealing to the teens/20's crowd and the hard sell lost me.

and who needs all this "stuff" anyway!!

not me

Dnna, they are trying to convince us if it's good enough for the hostess it must be great. Many viewers put these hosts on pedestals and try to emmulate them. If Jill Bower said "I use it", viewers flock to the phones and dial in. It's a sales ploy. I caught onto it years ago and realized I took the bait. When Kathy Levine was on I would try to emmulate her. I would over-buy all the "stuff" you mentioned. Then it was Lisa, then Jill. I find myself trying to distance myself and remind myself these people are like glorified salesfolks at Macy's or Kohls. It has helped bring my budget under control.

QVC lost me awhile ago with SG and her non-stop jibber jabber, LOGO IMO makes people look round and ruffled and Josie, well, I always feel greasy just looking at the screen! S'long farewell!

Tara (The Temptations vendor) is another one I can't take. Constantly bringing her crack-prone goods on air and raving about dinner parties with David Venable. I'm a loyal Corningware user and have pieces that have lasted me 40 years. Temptations is not in the same league.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. My viewership has decreased big time.

I actually turned the channel to the news last evening because SK shopped during the Martha Stewart and Peace Love World segments. Even Ms. Stewart commented on it.

Hope management isn’t encouraging this to boost sales because it turned me off. SK made it all about her and it was so unprofessional. Really missing Lisa Robertson, Lisa Mason, Pat Riley and some of the other talent that have parted ways. However, still willing to watch Leah, Jayne, Mary Beth, Gabrielle, Pat, Carolyn and Amy (except for Logo).

I continue to watch because of Louis Dell Olio, Denim & Co., Clark’s, Skechers, Earth Footwear, Women With Control (because petite sizes are often available) but really have to love an item before I pay the shipping charges to Hawaii. Hope HSN doesn’t raise their shipping charges.

Quality has been disappointing in the last couple of years, though. Both footbeds on VIonic sandals I ordered started to peel after a few wears. Clothing items use thin fabrics. Many styles are same old, same old.

I actually was really surprised that Josie is having another TSV so soon. I think the Q needs to get some additional new vendors. Nothing against Josie because she has lovely products but we have been toted out by so many handbag/luggage vendors it makes my head spin.
