Q Talk

I still do not understand why, after a year, people here still discuss Lisa and her personal life.

I mean, why bring it here?

If you want to know about her follow her You Tube videos, Facebook page, etc.

When you've been in any kind of high-profile job the #1 way to get another or better job is to network.  This goes for "TV Show Host/Sales Personalities," banking executives, marketing directors, research & development managers, on & on & on.  Networking entails cocktail parties, golf excursions, charity events -- anything where big money is and where there are folks in industries that you want to be in or stay.  Think of what people write on paper resumes; some like to take full credit for anything they may have had a role in, big or small.  That hasn't changed, only now it's on social media instead of paper.  I'm not saying the only reason Lisa's always getting together with QVC-connected people is to get a development deal for a future endeavor.  But Lisa is being very smart in attending all these parties and keeping in touch with all of her acquaintances.  Someone always knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone else.  Connections are made, business financing is discussed, PR advice is given, etc. It all remains to be seen where she lands, but she is indeed busy working it.  Much respect to that.

I don't "get" what LR is "doing" with her FB page. Instructional videos. Pseudo-celeb video chats, video How-Tos, etc. along with her travels.

Nothing she has done so far is going to be generating any revenue for her. "Our first annual" this and that. So, people will watch because they love Lisa. And? Lisa gets adulation, but that's it. So she's going to spend the rest of the foreseeable future behaving like a shopping channel host without a channel and without merchandise to sell, for her fans on FB - except that according to those commenting the live chats never seem to work and a lot of people who want to participate, can't.

Way to go Lisa.

And I guess I still don't understand why it's an issue? If one isn't interested in these threads there's always the option not to participate in them...

I'm shocked that at this point, LR hasn't announced what she is doing.  Her 1 year is up and yet, crickets.  I thought LR had something in the works but now it appears I was wrong.  

LR has been asked several times on her FB page if she'd come back to QVC.  She answered to the effect "never say never but it's highly unlikely."  I don't think they left on the best of terms and I don't think she'll be back in any capacity.  Not to mention, she didn't need to wait out a non-compete to come back to QVC to sell.

I'm starting to think she's doing all these interviews and chats just to keep her face out there and in the hopes of someone noticing her and offering her something.  IMO there was clearly an agenda with her doing a live chat for the awards last night when in the past, it's just been a thread on her FB page.

Katie was her assistant at QVC as well.

Makes you wonder if Katie opted to go with Lisa or if QVC decided she was expendable when Lisa departed. It seems like anyone who had or has any association with Lisa is sort of becoming very hard to find these days. One almost never sees either Courtney or Alberti in prime time, despite tha fact that either, him in particular, would be most welcome, especially by comparison to some hosts we seem to see so much of...

Maybe she's getting ready to star in her movie, "Lisa."

I'm laughing at all of the comments on this page. Past her prime? Why the Q? Why design? Why not????? She's been in this industry for years. She was well liked. If she interviews venders from her past work it's because she knows them. I go for drinks and dinner with people I used to work with and no one tells me to "move on".

[chenzy]

So, should we go to ConsumerReports.com to discuss her? If I want to find out about Mickey Mouse, I'll first look at Disney.

She is becoming a Has Been right before our very eyes. I mean really, resorting to YouTube videos on home decorating and Facebook chats live from home? Talk about self promoting! But, when no one picks up your contract.....
