I recently read on here that she was going to do an infomercial. Lol, I woke up this morning and channel surfing and there she was. I guess it's a paycheck, but seems a bit of a come down for her. Joy and Stacey Ann were also in it. Seems like the only former host that's gone on to better things in tv is Mike Rowe. Kathy Levine, Patti, Steve Bryant and others have all done the infomercials. Lol, I agree she looks like she's had work done, but did when she was at QVC as well. I always want to laugh at them selling lotions and potions.

QVC models Joy and Staci Ann are also doing this infomercial for D. Denese?

I caught a little bit of it too.  I've gotten to the point where I just use Elysee, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.  We don't know what Lisa will end up doing in the years to come, so the predictions of her career demise are premature.  I've always wondered whether the death of Joan Rivers somehow affected her outlook.  I've also wondered whether she discussed quitting with Joan.  Lisa had to be thinking about it last summer, and since the two of them were somewhat close, it woudn't surprise me if she discussed it with her.  Joan was a very wise and accomplished person who Lisa may well have turned to for advice. 

Lisa spent nearly 20 years in an all-consuming, high-pressure job.  She also made a ton of dough.  I know what it's like to spend years under pressure and never having time off because you can't just call your boss and tell her you're taking time off.  When I finally got a break from that a few months ago, I felt an actual physical relief.  I remember finishing work at 5 and just going to sleep.  I didn't realize how exhausted I was.  Had I the $$$ Lisa has, you bet I'd have taken more time off.

Lisa has plenty of contacts and I believe plenty of people in the industry who would see her as an asset to their organization.  We might even see her back on QVC one day representing GILI.  Who knows what twists and turns life will take for her!  She deserves the best, as she's behaved with courtesy and class in the face of so many unprovoked attacks on her.

My friend is on FaceBook .  She told me Lisa posts pictures of herself almost everyday.  I do not think her career goal was to

do Infomercials.   Patti Reilly thought she would be a star in LA.

Anyone know what happened to her?    Do not see her on the  My

Pillow commercials.

Every businesswoman who has a public FB page "posts pictures of herself" every day.  It's part of the job.

Ah, yes, where all the hosts who escape the Q end up - on infomercials!  Somehow they can't figure out what else to do with their lives or else don't have any other talent other than to do infomercials....

The infomercial is another segment of their industry, so of course they do them.  It's a nice chunk of money I'm sure.  Why would they turn it down?

I dunno, infomercials seem like a lateral move for Robertson.  Maybe she needs the cash........
