Beauty

[hyacinth003]

Was watching "Tuesday Night Beauty" last night.  I seldom watch QVC before 11pm, so I haven't seen this show in ages.

I was surprised to see Shawn's hair hanging in her face.  I don't care for the striped look, but have thought the style was cute.  But not hanging in the face.

I was really surprised to hear her describe a philosophy shower gel as "dec a tent."  Huh? 

I guess I consider hosts on television as public speakers, and am really surprised when they say things like that.

I guess "speech"  (different from public speaking) is no longer taught in high  school.

I think her hair is always in her eyes.  It bothers me too, though I try not to watch her.

My hair is always in my eyes...........it's a cheap way to hide wrinkles...........

Since you don't watch that often, here's what you should know.

Shawn's hair always in her eye, always "HEAVY" highlights, always has a slang word for decription of a product and most of the times looks very Gothic.

Yes, needs to clean up her speech or whatever one would call hers.

Yes, yes, a 1000 times yes.  For people whose job it is to be on air and talking, I am sometimes amazed that they speak so poorly.  The wrong word, the wrong prononciation, the poor sentences -- things I would not blink an eye at if a 'regular' person did it, but the standards should be higher for a professional 'talker'.

@Peaches McPhee  Hmm, kinda like only English/Language Arts teachers need to know how to spell and not "regular" people?  BTW, it's pronunciation.

Not sure what you think falls into the category of "public speakers",  but I agree that it would be nice if Shawn had a better vocabulary and was more articulate.

My particular pet peeve with some of the hosts, but mostly SK, is the use of 'UM'.  The hosts should have to put a dollar in a box for charity every time they use the "word" "UM".
