I liked Lisa when she was on QVC and I thought she was professional and very good at her job.  Whatever she decides to do, I'm sure she'll be very successful at it.  I do wish her the best.

I agree that Lisa will likely be announcing her plans soon.  My bet would be after the new year.  I've always been a big fan of Lisa.  Like most personalities who achieve that level of success, she's one of a kind.  She's beautiful but someone you can relate to.  She has a great sense of humor and enjoys laughing at her own foibles from time to time.  She's been unbelievably classy in the face of hostility from women who hate her for reasons I've never understood. 

 

I'm not on Facebook, but I've visited her page daily since she left QVC.  Before that, I'd never been to her QVC FB page.  I'm curious about what she'll do next.  She's in LA visiting Chaz today, and she's been there from time to time, maybe on business, maybe not.  She goes to NYC regularly and even went to Florida quite a few times, though not in recent months.  HSN has offices in Florida (obviously) and I believe NYC, which raises the question of whether she'll do something with them.  I think HSN's head honcho Mindy would love to bring Lisa on board.  Look at all the more minor celebrities they've hired as vendors. 

 

It would be interesting to read a thread with speculation about what Lisa will be doing and when she'll announce.  She is without question working on a new venture.  I remember her posting that she brought Eric with her to meetings with investors so that she could have someone with her who's only in her corner.  Clearly, she's been in discussions.  What came out of them remains to be seen.

She's been seen often with Donald Trump.  Maybe she's thinking of getting into politics!!!  pondering-and-thinking-smiley-emoticon.gif

 Ha, ha!  Politics for Lisa?  Would she want to take the pay cut?  Trump is beyond fabulously wealthy, but I think Lisa would like to build her fortune a bit more.

I have read that Amazon may be starting their own shopping network and I think Lisa would be a perfect choice as she is polished and does a great and thorough presentation no matter what they throw at her.

 

I remember in the old days when she would be selling everything from sheets to electronics and even did those Gold Violin shows and sold everything equal well.

 

I wish her luck in whatever her next adventure is.  Her QVC hours at the end had to be tough on her personal life.


LR and Amazon would be a poor match....most likely the execs there never heard of her and they want a young hip person, technology oriented and iconic, IMHO....Amazon doesn't need an LR....Lady GaGa maybe?

That's interesting that Amazon could be her next destination.  Their corporate offices are in Seattle.  She hasn't traveled there AFAIK, and she posts all the time about where she is.  It's possible, though, that that aspect of the business could be in LA and/or NYC.

I like LISA, too!  Personally, I hope she becomes a vendor somewhere selling her amazing designs!  I think the QQ really overworked LISA.  I think that once they started the gili line and running to NY, along with meetings for that, then giving her the Christmas designs and running around with that, they should have just let her keep the PMStyle show going and a few beauty and jewelry shows only here and there.  I think they over worked her, without any additional compensation or trying to cut back on her regular duties, but instead piling on more!  I would have left, too!  Cause been there and done that in my life work experience.  Thank you Lord I retired when I did, even though I loved my job!!!!!

It amazes me at what people assume to know about Lisa and her job duties, treatment, and compensation from her employer. Smiley Tongue

It amazes me to read unkind comments about LISA.  What I said I think, and what I supposedly KNOW are two different things.  What amazes me is someone trying to read my mind, lol!  Have a beautiful day everyone!
