Doesn't work that way.

I feel the opposite.  Her voice bothers me as does her constant fake laugh.  I do watch her though because she is my size and I can tell how items will look on me.

I agree.  I realize I'm in minority here but never been a fan."

 

I'm with you! The fake laugh and falling all over Lori (which is easy to figure out why). I can't take it at all so I don't watch.

How is Amy being insensitive?  She is telling everyone's size because that is what people want to know for reference.  They complain when the hosts doesn't tell the the size the models are wearing.

Nancy drew sais: "Some of us are very petite through no fault of our own. If it wasn't for Amy showing us how we would look with the xxs size we wouldn't have a clue. They have once in a while short model but never tiny. So if wasn't for Amy I wouldn't be included in their oh so called inclusive sizing. It isn't about bragging it's about some of us who are left out."

 

Oh please, many of us are left out, not a big deal at all.

Of course not. I think there's pressure to be thin by women on TV and center stage like the hosts. To me this is quite apparent with Shawn as she's always trying to squeeze into clothing sizes too small. I mean, I've seen posts here where the clothing vendors on past shows--can't remember which ones--told her to size up as what she was wearing was too tight on her, but she insists on wearing xxs or xs.

Oh no!  So she plays the role on Instagram too?!"

 

That's what I thought too. I mean what else is she going to do but act the same way?

Being tiny like Amy' doesn’t mean the clothes will fit or look the same. Long torso, short legs, broad shoulders, narrow hips, there are endless variations. Unless you’re her clone, it’s still guesswork.


@manny2  With that logic why have models at all then?


Models are used to showcase the style and movement of a garment, not necessarily guarantee a perfect fit for everybody. @Nancy Drew

Gee I guess women like Amy and I should just zip it because after all I guess we don't have a need to want clothes that fit us well like the other sizes. I am very sensitive to larger sizes as my whole family of women were larger but try being smaller and we are bragging.


I don’t recall anyone saying petite people brag. That’s not part of this conversation. What was discussed is Amy and her particular style of selling.

Smiley LOL


What does that have to do with this conversation? We’re talking about one host, Amy, and her style of selling.
