I like some of  Joan Rivers  clothing.  But in today's show, there were quite a few things that had The Bee Buttons.  Really?  Who the heck wants Bee  Buttons on their clothing?  Not me.!

@Fribwl Joan Rivers was well known for her bees. She believed they represented triumph and overcoming odds. It's very symbolic of her. I have also noticed a lot of things now have bee's on them, dishtowels, wall art, bedding, doormats, etc. 

 

I must admit, I wouldn't mind one clothing item having bee's on it (I do own one of Joan's original bee pins) but that is all I would need, one.

I do. Joan Rivers was known for her love of bee-themed jewelry, particularly pins and brooches. She often wore and sold these pieces, often referencing the bee's ability to fly despite seemingly defying aerodynamic principles, using it as a symbol of overcoming adversity. She said that aerodynamically a bumble bee should not fly.

@Fribwl.  I don't mind the bees at all but I hate that the JR shirts are 100% cotton which means ironing and I don't wish to participate.   They're also expensive and often don't fit well

I own a few whimsical printed tops with animal motifs, but I wouldn't want bee buttons. I've never really been into collecting or wearing bee items. Bees are very important to our environment and food supply.

I miss Joan.  I miss her humor, kindness and fun!  Seems so much quieter with her gone

@Big Joanie   Werent they just the best shows? Even if you weren't watching to buy, it was fun. Informative too.  I loved it with Kathy and Joan. I woukd be in tears crying.  There was nothing on TV like it, if you think about it. A big name like Joan selling jewelry on a television shopping channel. But she made it all real, and like in true Joan style paved the way for others

She was one in a million I saw her live on stage twice, she was a riot.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
