@Tinkrbl44 check the response.  I was not the rude one.  I was calling out the rude one, not you.  You can untag my name.

No, I didn't think you were the least bit rude.  I included you because you were part of the previous comments.  So sorry if that wasn't clear!  Woman Happy

You are so rude.  


 

@santorini 

 

Wow, ITA .....  not only rude, but obviously unable to understand someone else's POV.    


@Tinkrbl44 @santorini No, what's rude is bypassing all the other comments disagreeing with this post and trying to come for me for stating my opinion. Obviously you can't comprehend that a person can understand someone else's point of view and still disagree with it. I guess the term "fuddy duddies" was beyond the pale for the fuddy duddies.🙄


 

@Love to Run  @santorini 

 

Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't bypass anything.  Clearly, you think that anyone that doesn't agree with you is a "fuddy duddy".   

 

Obviously you feel strongly about nail art, but that's just an opinion, not a fact.  You should be able to tell the difference.


@santorini Nope, I don't feel strongly about nail art, I don't even wear it and my current nail shade is nude. I do, however, feel strongly that women should be able to wear what they like as long as it does not breach their EMPLOYER ESTABLISHED dress code. I also think it's idiotic to label someone unprofessional when their employer sets the standard. I do think that women who repeatedly and pointedly shake their finger at younger women for  how they dress are fuddy duddies, you are absolutely right about that one.

I agree. Some people are so critical of certain hosts that no matter what they do, say or how they look isn’t going to get the host any accolades!
I’m always interested in trends and love nail art. I may not like all colors or lengths but it’s their personality! Live and let others enjoy their personal style.
There are too many lonely people who hate so easily !

We all have opinions and use these forums for same. I have mine on nail art/excessive long spiderwoman-like nails in a previous thread. What I got reading this thread was less about nails than criticism of others opinions about nails on QVC hosts.  Name calling, rudeness--unnecessary.  The lowering of standards at any level has consequences, and is not the same as "times have changed".

Well stated ... and spot on!   I'm surprised by how many people just didn't understand that.

@ScarletDove I completely understand differences of opinions, and respect that.

 

But it's your statement in bold above that made me finally respond to this never-ending debate about the hosts' nails.

 

You wrote "lowering of standards."   To me, that denotes that you believe you have a superior opinion/standard that is closed to any other opinion of what could be deemed appropriate or professional.  

 

 

It wasn't stated different standards of the times, or a wider variety of acceptable expression.  

 

I feel that's why there's such passionate and heated responses on the other side of this issue.  There's such intolerance in that statement -- about nails.

 

Women wear red lipstick on air now too.  There was actually a time that was never allowed.  I just don't think that was lowering standards.

@Caaareful Shopper  I see and hear your response to my comment. Indeed we all have our opinions, even our interpretation  of others comments/statements.

1. There is nothing "bolded" in my original comment.  It was bolded in your reply.

2. Interesting interpretation:  "...You wrote 'lowering of standards.'  To me, that denotes that you believe you have a superior opinion/standard that is closed to any other opinion of what could be deemed appropriate or professional....".  CaaarefulShopper, you have the right to interpret my comment any way you choose.

@Caaareful Shopper 

 

Please elaborate ... just WHO "never allowed" red lipstick?  

 

Knowing a few people in the film & TV makeup professions, I can tell you that changes in makeup were influenced several times over the years to adapt to lighting and camera changes. 

 

When High Def came on the scene, there were a LOT of changes to on-air talent makeup colors ... and coverage.

I was watching Mally on Beauty Day and was praying she didn't put out a model's eye when applying under eye concealer.  But hers were long and not super long.
