Reva, you beat me to the punch. I intended to start a thread myself praising George for his graciousness and humility. I was so impressed when he told Leah that he enjoyed her show yesterday with Bob Mackie and how much he admired Bob's designs. There was a time when people understood that praising another person took nothing away from themselves. They realized that belittling others did not improve their own image. Sadly today from Facebook bullying, reality housewives' shows, The Apprentice and hate radio to the halls of Congress, there is a pervasive, ugly ruthlessness that has permeated our culture.

I also appreciated Leah's hosting both shows. I know she is sometimes criticized for laughing too much or not finishing her thoughts but I believe she is one of the most sincere, ladylike and gracious hosts QVC has. She genuinely seems to admire the designers and gives them deference and respect. It's not all about her. I wish a few of the younger hosts on overnight shows could emulate her. I was shocked at the dismissive way one of them treated Bob Mackie a while back. She clearly had no clue who he was and had no interest in learning anything about him. I'm sure she had zero insight into how poorly she performed.

What a lovely post. I enjoyed reading it and can relate to all you stated.

Re: George Simonton with Leah

I don't understand the Leah comment. What's wrong with her saying she is a large?

Re: George Simonton with Leah

I think George and Leah are just great together. George is always his gentle self. And Leah, I was so impressed with how hard she worked to sell George's collection. She put everything into it and sold for well for George. I know he appreciated this and appreciates and respects Leah's professionalism. They're quite a duo to watch. A lot of affection there....

Re: George Simonton with Leah

All of the designers appear to love working with Leah. I would say she is my favorite...she is well prepared, lighthearted and very respectful and professional. Everyone says thank you to her when they appear on am style. I love her blogs because she has many interests and is interesting as well as a kind and generous spirit; she is involved and gives back to her community

Re: George Simonton with Leah

George is a class act and I love how he's transformed himself over the years. He let his hair go natural and he looks absolutely wonderful. He is always informative, soft spoken and relates to every host, but his pairing with Leah was wonderful. I really enjoyed the show and think Leah is an enjoyable host.

Re: George Simonton with Leah

I agree. I always enjoy waiting to see what he is wearing because he is so good at changing his styles. He dresses impeccable . He not only knows his craft but loves it and it shows. They keep saying his been in the business for I think 50 years, I wonder how old he is because he sure doesn't look his age.

Hi Ladies,

I totally agree with how Leah and George complimented one another; very refreshing.
