Has anyone ever noticed all the other models turn and move so we can see the garment at different angles, and all Maria ever does is stand there with her right knee bent?

Never noticed, but now that you mention it...

The answer always lies in WHAT SELLS?  I believe very often the answer also relies more on fantasy than reality.especially when it comes to women buying clothing and beauty;  Why else would a huge percentage of all models, not limited at all to QVC, be taller than average and much thinner than average and much younger than many potential buyers?

 

I'm trying to remember how old I was before I carried my own mirror when I was shopping because far too many stores don't have three-ways or any way at all to show the posterior view!

I personally think she does a good job modeling the clothes they put on her  ... GREAT JOB MARIA!!!!

If you are talking about the dark rair Maria, I wish they would use her more often.  If the outfit looks good on Maria it will look good on me.  If it doesn't, I hesitate to buy it. Most of the models are a size 1 or 2 and they would look good in a gunny sack.  I would like to see more real size models as well as the small size models.

Yes... she is not a very good model at all... just stands there with on foot positioned out. Why is she there at all if not to show the clothes???

My issue, and I am sure it is not Maria's choice, is that she is almost always dressed in black.  I find black almost impossible to view on tv and so all I see is black hair, black body, black shoes.  No details.  And then, many times, she is positioned toward the back of the stage.  Impossible to see whatever she's modeling.  I would appreciate it if they would use colors other than black on her.

LOL, funny you say that, as my mom says the same thing when she's on there.
