Heather Thomson - Tommie Copper

Looks like there are no plans for Yummie to continue on HSN Woman Sad Rhonda Shear's line is supposedly filling the void, but to me it's not a good alternative. 

 

Heather is now promoting Tommie Copper products and will be on air on Evine later this week with a TTV and a full day of shows thurs/fri.

 

One of the items is compression leggings.

Sorry to hear no more Heather Thomson on HSN.

 

I bought tons of her leggings when they were super discounted.  They  really are nice quality.

Rhonda Shear not all that it's cracked up to be.  Her camisoles were beyond

constricting for me.  Her little stretchy bras are just ok.

 

I will miss Yummie.

If you wear a xs or small  Yummie legging, they're practically giving away the duos on hsn right now!

Yes but they run really small. I wear a size 4 and  ordered medium and had to return them. I felt stuffed in like a sausage lol. So maybe the size zero's out there can wear her xs and sm.

I've not had good luck with Rhonda Shear products. The one thing I did like was a 2 pack of reversible tanks.

I knew she was gone when off of her her items went down super low.  That's a disappointment.

Me either.  I don't think her line is very good quality at all.

You can still get Yummie elsewhere (including the brand website).  I don't know, but perhaps Heather is no longer the head honcho of Yummie and has been phased out of the company.

Re: Heather Thomson - Tommie Copper

Towards the end of last year, it was reported that Heather was involved in some type of lawsuit with her brand manager over Yummie.  This guy is also a part owner of the company and I seem to recall that he put out some company wide memo stating that the Real Housewives of NY were no longer allowed to film anything involving Yummie and that no money from the company could be used towards that series at all.  He wanted no connection at all between the company and the reality show.

 

Heather sued him and wanted him replaced as brand manager but because he is part owner, that was very difficult to accomplish.  Supposedly that is why Heather left RHWNY.  She wanted to use that as a platform for promoting Yummie and when all this happened, she quit to focus on the brand as that was more important than the show.

 

I'm not sure what ever came of that lawsuit.

I have to agree, I purchased Rhonda's lace panties and the lace rolls up.  This was stated in a review but I tried them anyway.  They are very pretty but they just sit in my drawer.  I did not want to return underwear.  So once in a while I wear them..  I have leggings from yummie and I love them.  I think this is my 3rd winter wearing them.
