verecundity

modesty

Ha! "shy & modest" Totally inapplicable to me (if you only knew!) but I see that word is considered "obsolete". On the other hand it's a great term to describe what I'd prefer to see more of while watching the Q. MODESTY. TASTEFULNESS. I'm wanting only simple & clear information on products I might want to buy -- NOT wanting a sudden visual of graphic & "skeevy" (great word!) personal hygiene practices -- Am I clear now? I'm studying Advertising and this thread gives me valuable feedback. I'm not interested in personal put downs or debates.

If you are studying advertising, then you know that nothing sells a product better than for customers to see it in live action.

Remember the old saying, "Sell the sizzle, not the steak".

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

Aside from some of the Enjoi product demos, that vendor rep sets my teeth on edge... Strikes me as the phoniest of the phony... The height of it was her suggesting last Christmas season that the heel scraper makes a perfect hostess gift... I kid you not.

Well, she ain't invited to my house! LOL!

Seriously, I have the Emjoi and love it, but I always wonder how the vender manages to develop enough calloused skin to shear off for each show. She must be raw by the end!

I never would have ordered my Emjoi had I not seen the demonstrations. It's just flaking dead skin. It doesn't affect me any worse than seeing nail clippings. I think that some people must really have issues with feet. The Emjoi is a great tool!

The first time I saw Emjoi, DH and I were at a hotel (for a weekend getaway). I turned on Q because Celine Dion's CD was on (we both like her). In the next show, Jacque was demonstrating with the vendor. DH was fascinated with the device and I told him I could order it for him. He said he prefers using scissors. {#emotions_dlg.scared} I don't have any callouses; I use foot cream weekly and put on those fuzzy sox overnight so my feet are soft. Occasionally I use a Dr. Scholls pumice stone on my heels if I need to. I don't think I could use the Emjoi if I had too - it reminds me of an apple peeler. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

OTOH, several days ago they demonstrated that PMD on models faces. OUCH! To me, bleeding should NOT be part of exfoliating! I'll stick to a Buff Puff, much more gentle and effective. {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

Good lord some of you woman really do need a fainting couch. No it does not bother me. Perhaps I am not paying as much attention to the demos as some of you obviously have.

On a bright note. I have this little machine and I love it.

Right? It makes me picture of Blanche DuBois fanning herself rapidly and rolling her eyes.

I don't buy "sizzle" -- but then neither do I buy steak. Old sayings aren't relevant to my study. Clearly we all have our Individual & unique "buttons" which vendors will do almost anything to separate us from our money and time. When does the sizzle become so hot that it burns, thus we back away? I did buy a Nutribullet after watching the demo which was helpful & informative. There's no black & white here so I'm still curious about demos which backfire by TMI or subjective "gross" factor. If a live demo is just slightly repulsive or ridiculous do you still buy product?
