@mspatmac lol. They got me too. One small arrangement which I haven't seen for years. I must have given it to somebody. Forgot all about it.
Do you remember the Kanchanaburi sapphire "dream" bracelet with black stones that they sold ad nauseum? I thought they'd never get rid of those things. You'd think they rivaled the crown jewels they way they raved about them.

Adrienne Arpel had a cosmetic line on HSN and must be in her 80's now ... she had a ton of "work" done and I always had the impression whoever did Adrienne's "work" also "freshened up" Colleen and Bobbi a few years ago. There was a time I thought Bobbi was anorexic but I now think she is just thin by nature ... always enjoyed their presentations ... and Coleen and Suzanne Somers were absolutely hysterical together when her line was at HSN ... I thoroughly enjoyed them together and Suzanne had clothes, jewelry, skin care and diet products at the time which took a good chunk out of a weekend visit ...

I just found an untouched Jerome A. "Italian Marble" compact in my stash. I wore it just the other day and remembered why I loved it so much. I don't do foundation, but the light coverage was perfect.
He was fun to watch....but always a bit too tanned

I do remember Randolph D. His line was wildly popular for quite some time. He was always impeccably dressed and polite/calm when selling. But, yes, he came across a little stuffy
Have no idea what happened, but I was working then and couldn't watch TV much.
Wonder what happened to him and if he still designs?

Oh, my! Yes! They used to have entire shows devoted to Capodimonte! Lamps, bowls, everything.
They had MANY collectible shows...lots of dolls, too.

Where did Mindy go?? I thought she was great, too! She and Bobbi were my favorites!

I don't know if they still do that, where you can call in and talk to the hosts, but I did that years ago and talked to Bobbi a couple of times and she was so sweet! I remember that I was so nervous and she was like --- oh, don't be nervous --- we're all friends here!

Shannon Smith, not so much. If she is hosting then I just keep channel surfing.
I guess I am the only one who does not care for Bobbi Ray (I do like Colleen and Shannon). I find her too breathy when she speaks in the mic. I can't place besides the breathiness why I don't care for her. I just unfortunately don't care for her.

I also heard Suzanne Sommers make a comment about Bobbi's size..... Bobbi looked a little embarrassed and replied: "I take after my Mother...she's thin too". She is indeed a seasoned host along with Colleen.
