Expecting opposition for sure, but IMO, I've had enough of Shawn's charm bracelets, rings, cuffs, necklaces, etc. that reflect her spiritual beliefs. I think it's not only inappropriate for a multirelious audience, but since she explains that many of these items are copies of her own pieces (working w/ QVC to duplicate them), I also find these sales pitches self serving. On PM STYLE, she further announced that she has partnered w/ Lamo boots to come out w/ ones decorated with rhinestone crosses, hearts, etc. She says they'll be available at the Q in about 6 months. Religion, spirituality, symbols of religion are all quite personal. Anyone else finding this "over share" too much?

No.

I understand your view, and QVC recently requested that we on the Boards no longer add a "verse" to our signature line, or discuss religious intentions ... so yes, it is odd that QVC allows a host to discuss religion.
Hopefully, it's not for profit that QVC allows this. For me, I am glad to hear Shawn share on this subject matter, and hope that other viewers seek out the message she is trying to convey.

Yes, I can't watch her.

I feel the same way. I just can't watch her when she starts in with her spirituality and so I turn her off.

No, doesn't bother me a bit!!

Yes, and I notice this with multiple hosts. I don't watch Shawn so can't comment, but Kerstin, Rachel, and Jennifer Coffey come to mind. Mary Beth and previously Lisa Mason, mention it as "being a symbol of your faith", which is fine. Dan Hughes, who I understand is actually a minister, has always been very professional. But I feel the others are trying to project their faith onto me, which I don't appreciate.
Once when Jennifer was filling in for David on the Saturday show, she and Kerstin had a conversation about how they had started at the same time and were competing with 9000 other applicants but their faith brought them through. I guess the other 8998 didn't believe strongly enough. I find that type of comment to be especially galling.

Not only is it off-putting when she purses her lips and stretches words out, but then she attempts to be genuine when promoting her spiritual wares. And I do mean attempts. Comes across as insincere. Doesn't ring true with me. When she gets on this kick, I change channels.

There are hosts who understand how to sell an item of faith without the drama and without injecting too many personal comments.
It's a fine line and not one that is very easy for a host whose personality just doesn't seem to include moderation or nuance.
I simply will not watch anyone who turns a shopping channel into a TV ministry.
