That was kind of awkward.

 

Is it weird that the title says "Faux Mink," the host says they're faux chinchilla and one of them has leopard spots on it?  I'm confused.  What manner of faux hybrid animal was killed to make this throw?

Re: Does anyone else think this is weird?

What I find nore bothersome is them saying this is the biggst throw he ever made- when it's not true!! I have a DB throw from a couple years back that's larger.

 

Can stand when the truth is stretched to sell a product. I can't tell you how many car dealerships I walked out of over the years!!

I don't like all the kissing....I used to cringe watching Family Feud with Richard Dawson kissing everyone....

This does not seem awkward to me. 

 

Although they may be friends, QVC hosts and vendors are essentially actors who are also sales people.  Part of home shopping channels' marketing is to give the illusion that they are all one big happy family and we, the customer, are also part of that family.

Yes, saw it live on air and thought yuck.  He is always pushing himself on the host or the models and its inappropriate.

One big happy family usually doesn't entail one party demanding that the other kiss them on the mouth, but hey, I'm old-fashioned...............I think a kiss on the cheek is good.

I see nothing wrong with Dennis's behavior but that's just me.

@mistriTsquirrel

A faux faux must have been killed to make the throw!!!
