What was the name of the other company Renee use to rep?  I have forgotten.

Renee has never been a rep for anyone except WWC. 

Citiknits was once a QVC brand represented by a woman named Myranda Blassingale. 

Many people confuse these two women.

You are very wrong.  Renee was the product rep for Citiknits for many years.  Miranda replaced her after she left.

Just a few days ago, Renee mentioned about her designs with Citiknits while showing her WWC line.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Renee brought the Slinky fabric to QVC, but they were forced to change the name when Horizon Mills (who was working with HSN at the time) sued. Slinky can still be found on HSN today, always and forever with that ridiculous little registered trademark sign beside the name.


Renee came up with the name Citiknits, which QVC promptly trademarked, and for the first time she started working in front of the camera. Renee eventually left Citiknits, which is currently dying a slow, painful death at the Q, and started Attitudes by Renee and later added Women With Control. The main difference, of course, is that she owns those names, not QVC.

One fateful night during a Women With Control presentation, QVC model, Jacqui Thompson, uttered those famous words for the first time, “no more wiggle, no more jiggle,” and Renee immediately had them trademarked. The rest, as they say, is history.
