I liked Iris, as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see Eiko (please forgive the spelling. I have no idea how to spell her name) last night on QVC. I also really miss Joy, Rachel, and there used to be a cute girl with a short bob hairdo that I enjoyed watching. QVC has changed a lot, and not for the better, IMO. I'm saving money, though!!


I did not see model Aiko Heike recently. Can you tell me when you saw her?

 

Iris Simms debuted her Never Enough by Iris Simms collection on QVC on February 14, 2008 but it only lasted a year or so.

Very upbeat lady. I looked for her book on amazon but it apparently was never released.

@daisyk  Thank you.  Yes, I believe it was Trina... couldn't remember the name.  She had extreme allergies so bad, she couldn't even sleep in her apartment.  I wonder what happened to her? 


I wonder too. Hope she is well.


I don't think she had allergies.  I seem to recall she was very ill due to toxic mold.

Re: Does Anyone Remember Iris the model?

Yes I remember Iris, she is a class act. It was good seeing her when she came back. I wish her the best. Where is the host Jacque Gonzalez?  Folks disappear and we shoppers and viewers wonder if they have moved on or on vacation? Maybe there's some company policy, but if you happen to catch a show where the person is briefly mentioned, you have some closure.  Like I understood Rick to say on the 83rd ent Gem Day that Peyton Kelly has retired?  Could you say something in the monthly Q magazine? There should be some way to tastefully and legally share that the folks we've allowed in our homes via tv shopping have moved on.  As I watch other shopping channels, I do see former QVC folks.

Thank you all for your replies.  Yes, it was Trina who was ill.  I had forgotten that.  I hope Iris is faring well.  She was so much fun to watch. 

 

QVC has certainly changed over the years, and for me, not for the better.  Although, I think the newer viewers are enjoying it much more than some of us older folks.

I also remember Iris.  She was on a lot years ago and then she was a host for a bit and also had her own line briefly.  Seems she has done many different things.   When I first started watching she was on a lot--same with Aiko (sp?).   If she was back recently, I missed seeing her.  Both were excellent models.
