Keep changing her accent? LOL....

[MammaPooh]

I first thought she was English...and then when I watched another show this evening, she didn't sound so...well..."English"

At first I thought she was affecting the accent, but now I wonder if she grew up in a bi-lingual family (one parent British?) where the country's language isn't English.

This explains it (from her Facebook page):

Personal Information After growing up in the US, I moved to London where I studied Liberal Arts. I then moved to Ireland where I attended the Samuel Beckett Center at Trinity College of Dublin. I stayed in Ireland working in television and theater for 13 years. And that explains the little bit of accent that you hear every now and again on QVC!

I don't understand the I-lived-in-a-foreign-country-so-I-have-an-accent bit. Even here in the US, there are regional accents that are much, much stronger than Ireland or any other English speaking country. Heck, I grew up in Nebr & lived in Dallas for 30 yrs...and I don't have a "twang". It's just silly if you think about it.

This reminds me of the show Friends, when Ross started to teach with an english accent.

The first time I went to the South (North Carolina) when I was thirteen, I picked up the accent without knowing it. I was speaking like a native -- so I was told -- and hadn't even realized I was speaking that way. I recently lived there for over five years, and never picked it up. My parents were from Boston and my mother retained her accent, my father lost all traces of his (and they were older when they moved to Seattle). If anything, I pop out a Boston-sounding word now and then. Accents are interesting -- why do some of us lose ours, others don't?

She forgets from time to time who she was the last time she appeared as a Perricone puppet. Ever notice how difficult it is to keep telling the same lie over and over again with the identical detail as the time before? Ask someone who has been caught in that game, they are probably miserable...or in jail!

I think it is a fake accent.
